Jae Seafood by Tommy

8/9/23I had a craving for blue shell crabs today and found a spot that did me well. I'm skeptical when it comes to buying steamed crabs since I cook my own; but Jae's did an excellent job. I ordered a dozen large spicy male crabs. The claws and legs were full of meat and flavorful. If you're looking for steamed crabs without the disappointment, check out Jae Seafood . I purchased early in the day around 1130-noon, the quality and service was great. Facts: I walked in placed my order, asked the price ($47), and was told 25 mins. I received a text when done and it was worth the wait. This business has a new customer. Yes, I measured the crab and each one was about the same size.

Was all over the place looking for some crabs this past Mother's Day and found this place after an exhausting search. I'm no crab expert and I can't speak for the rest of the menu, but I was told that the crabs were good. Hot, and well seasoned. The owner, Tommy is hilarious. Talked me into buying the last dozen Super Jumbos he had, but also ended up throwing in a few large. Just a couple of those supers were enough for a meal

crabs were good but they don't use regular old bay. they use "crab seasoning" and it's too salty. crabs should be with old bay 100% of the time

Was on a drive home and searched for blue crabs lead me here. Was worth the detour. Did not know what to expect but they were fresh and heavy. 10/10 would recommend.

Worst service!!!! Order crabs from them alot and past few time were bad crabs. I let 2 of the times go and didn't say anything but last night my whole dozen of crabs were old, terrible smelling and couldn't even eat. I called this morning and ask to switch them for fresh and was told finally sale!!!! So they can just sell bad crabs and takes people's money and get away with it!!!! Worst service ever!!! Don't waste your money for bad crabs and no refund!

I discovered this place a few years back when it first opened. As a crab lover I was so happy to find a spot within a few miles of home to get on of my favorites.They never disappoint!! The crabs are excellent and always spiced to your liking.The staff are a young bunch of good guys working their butts off to make it happen.

Even pre-Covid, there doesn't appear to be any seating. It's a seafood market that specializes in prepared combos. You can find around 15 seafood combos on their website, everything from dungeness to shrimp to snow crabs. The combos feed about 2-3 people and the higher priced ones range from $40 to $50. The veggies that come on the side needs a little revamping. The broccoli doesn't seem to pair well with the corn and the potatoes, and the garlic butter soaked into the corn too much.Or you can order steamed and seasoned blue crabs.If you need to order for dinner, you should call by around 3pm and be ready to pick up within 45 minutes or so. You can't place an order in advance.

I had to downgrade my rating for the simple fact that I thought the original cooking fee of $1.00 was bizzarre and now they have upped it to 2.00. No other seafood place does this not even the supermarket. And how does it make any sense that they won't even bother to cook a 1/2 dozen small or medium crabs. It's just a no. Since I have no fear of cooking my own I can easily opt out but I think it's a lame policy especially in this competitive market. Just saying.

Love This place and the Seafood Never Had A Bad Meal From Them I don't eat seafood often but when I do this place is one of my go to if I don't want to travel to far into town

I'm so glad we have a local spot for seafood boils!! This spot is phenomenal. You don't get the BS from chain spots (e.g., the employees who don't care about whether your order is correct), you get pristine service from a locally owned spot. It's clear that they work hard and strive to make the customer happy, and they do. They deserve all of the good reviews you see. Also, for reference as to what to order, 1.5 lbs of crab is approximately 1.5-2 crabs, give or take depending on how meaty/ which type of crab. Great restaurant that deserves your support. You've been telling yourself to support local businesses, and I bet you're tired of the typical pizza/wings/Chinese takeout dinner, so how about you JUST TRY THIS? They don't deliver but who cares? I mean honestly, couldn't you benefit from a trip to get out of the house? If you're feeling especially considerate, maybe pay in cash since small businesses generally have to pay a surcharge for credit/debit card transactions. Also, don't forget about tipping - especially if you like the food and decide to order again!
