Hunter's Crabs

This is the best place to get softshell crabs on Kent Island or I should say off Kent Island. They almost always have jumbo and colossal sizes. The staff is great. They clean them up for you real good they're true to size and they're delicious. You could see how we fried them up And now we're the happiest people around so so get up and get yourself some soft shells!

Love this place but yesterday treated ourselves to 1 1/2 dozen of large crabs. And they were not large and most of them measured 5" to 5 1/4".When I called to complain they said that they don't measure every crab. When asked what I wanted I said 18 large crabs, what I paid for! They didn't offer anything and said "i hope you'll try us again!" Really?

Drove from Northern VA to this place and I ordered a buschel of large crabs and half of the full buschel was rotten, many was shells. I paid $300 and literally a waste. I don't recommend this place if you want good heavy large crabs.

Recommended by our host Scott on our trip in Kent Island. Had a nice phone call with the lady at the front who told me the market price and explained how ordering steamed crabs works. She said they've been in business for three generations, and to trust them. Ordered two dozen number 1 sized crabs and they smelled heavenly in the car. They were also heavy and came with low sodium salad to balance out the heavy seasoning. Took a family of four 3 hours to eat them because there was so much crab. Would highly recommend Hunter's Crabs to anyone in the area. No wonder people say they travel hours to get crabs from here.

Seafood is always great!! The Oysters are fresh as can be. The staff is very knowledgeable and always happy to help. Their recent renovation only added to this great seafood place!!Travis and Joe are highly recommend

The freshest, fattest, crabs, I've had in this area. At other places I typically order extra large or jumbo. Larges at Hunter had more meat than I've had in extra large or jumbos from otheres.

Based on the quote of $55.00 for two dozen #1 crabs (a price I clarified THREE times before ending my call), I placed on order. When I arrived I was told the price was $80.00 and that the person who quoted me "misspoke." I guess "misspoke" is a way of defining "bait & switch" pricing. I was also asked in a gruff and accusatory manner if I "had a problem" with the price.Only half of the crabs were #1 size. Bad business on multitude of levels. It would appear I'm not the only person who was less than thrilled with this establishment.

Steam platters are excellent. Got the scallops and crab legs with corn and potatoes. Highly recommend

I have lived on Kent Island for 16 years now and I know how very competitive it is for selling top notch crabs and over the years Hunters has been one of the most reasonable priced and honest people,.their reputation has always been fairly outstanding.,thats why it is rather painful to leave this bad review,.what happened?? I ordered a dizen and a half of "so-called" #1's (6-1/2 inch or bigger). On the phone when i was ordering I made sure with the guy that there were not any #2's (mediums 5-1/2-6 inch) mixed in, which some places will do, usually just a couple which are near the bottom of the bag,.believe me,.I know all the sneaky things some places will do,.but anyway,.he assured me they were all 6-1/2 inch crabs. Well to our disappointment my guest and I right away after sitting down and opening the bag thought the order was wrong,.they must have given us somebody else's medium order,.well we were all set up to eat and I wasnt gonna drive the half hour back there,.so not to be anal, we measured each one before we ate it,.the results were very disapointing,.only 3 of the 18 were true #1's,.in which one was complete mush and was discarded immediately,.5 of the 18 were 6 to 6-1/2. 8 of them were true #2's at 5-1/2 to 6 and 2 of them were even under 5-1/2 !! There is nothing that bothers me more than dishonesty when purchasing crabs because you are paying good money to get what you expect. By the way there was another mushy unedible crab in there also. Hunters was NEVER like this before!,. In talking to people in the know in the island, I was told that it is new ownership & management and they had taken a nose dive,.i did notice that the place looked a little different and it was a young man and women serving me that i dont remember seeing,.you would think that being new owners of a long respected establishment would want to make a positive mark in a very competitive area for crabs,.I just hope this review is seen by them and they make the changes asap,.but just be aware they have changed and they evudently are just eyeballing their crabs and not achieving the standard size and expectation,.also,.mushy crabs are totally unacceptable!,.from now on I am going just another 2 miles east on route 18 to The Cranky Crab,.they may be $10 more per dozen,.but they are ALWAYS honest and ALWAYS good

Recommended by our Airbnb host and we were thrilled to find this market. Great selection, service and prices. Everything was fresh and properly displayed. Introduced to snakehead fish which has become our favorite. We stocked up on our way home and highly recommend!
