Seamarket

For many years bought crabs here with no issue and 1 time this year decided to buy live crabs. Putting them in the steamer I realized there were barely 2 dozen crabs in this half bushel whereas the cooked bushel has twice as much. Remembered when they were being put in the box they were stuck together so the box was mostly filled with air. Someone asked on a post on their FB about live crabs and I let them know my experience and suggested steamed. This resulted in being blocked. It's funny as there are many places to buy crabs but I thought I would let people know what type of childish clown runs this place. And again unless you want to be ripped off, don't buy live crabs from this guy.

I bought a 1/2 bushel of "#1 males" on Sunday June 12, 2022. After getting home & opening the box I was greatly disappointed. Most of the crabs were 4 3/4" to 5" at the most. You can't call & complain, they never answer the phone. We have purchased crabs here before& never had a issue. All I can say is BUYER BEWARE!

Got 1/2 bushel #1 crabs. After watching Facebook for the daily post of price and availability, we drove over and got in line. Parking lot was filled and the line went around the block. Most people got steamed crabs, but personally I'm not ready to eat crabs at 11 in the morning. Old bay is not included with the live crabs so we bought a box for ~$5 and paper. They have two different prices for the crabs, one for cash and one for credit card. They clearly state that they do not answer their phones on the Facebook post and only have estimated times of being open. Overall, the crabs were good and I would definitely go there again.

This local hole in the wall place has great Maryland crabs! I always stop here when I am in the area. I hear people complain about Seafood Market because of the way it operates but you can't beat the prices. Here are some things to know about the place that might be helpful.1, The do NOT take reservations, first come first serve. Steamed or live2. Bring cash to receive the best price. Credit accepted but there is a surcharge3, They post daily on Facebook. This includes prices, store hours and crab availability as the day goes on. Read it before you go over as they will not answer they phone but will answer thru Facebook.4. Weekends can sell out quickly. 5 Maryland crabs is all they sell. I have bought crab meat in the past but that is an occasional thingGreat way to support local watermen! You will not be disappointed.

Great Crabs! Great Price! Amazing people/family owns this place. You will always feel welcome when you go there and they're honest with the quality of their Maryland Crabs.

Steamed crabs were pretty good, had a lot of meat in them but were kinda small.

This was our first visit here but I can guarantee it won't be our last. We ordered a bushel of jumbo crabs and the quality was GREAT. I had a feeling we picked a great spot when the line was fairly long and by the conversations with the locals the line was considered shorter than the norm. I can't wait to go back to Maryland and make a stop here. If I lived closer I would definitely be a regular customer. I was informed this is a family owned business and the daughter runs the front end. She greetes us upon entering the establishment and rung us up. She offered my son a piece of candy which was very nice. The father took our order and said it would be a 15-20 minute wait which ended up being very precise. The owner's daughter came around and offered my son a popsicle while we waited for our order which I was surprised by the special accommodations at a takeout seafood market. Great customer service. Keep up the top notch business.

Big fan of Seamarket! They don't take orders or answer the phone, so if you're willing to play the game (which I find fun), you can score a great deal on some quality crabs. They post their hours, prices, & availability for each crab size on their Facebook page. I usually go on the earlier end and I've never had a problem - but I know they do sellout, so you'll need to watch for updates if you head over later. Prices are decent, and they often have big sales after a big catch, especially later in the season. The crabs have been great every time I've gone. I usually grab a bushel of #1's. They are definitely on the larger side and very meaty. I had attended back-to-back crab parties one weekend and the ones from seamarket were way better than the ones my friend got from a vendor further south (closer to DC).

Ordered 1/2 bushel crabs. The majority of them were full of sand under the shell. Crabs had to be rinsed off before eating or you had a mouthful of gritty crabmeat. Messaged Seamarket and was told this was because the crabs were from Maryland and this happens during these months. I eat crabs a lot and have never had this issue. What a waste of $150!

Some of THE best local crabs you can buy. Crabs heavy and meaty seasoned great. Prices good depending. They fill your box in 1/2 bushels but really leave space the box could have more crabs inside which is why I'm guessing the prices are cheap. It was a steady amount of people coming in and out buying crabs. If you bring cash the prices are much cheaper. But overall I am satisfied with the crabs I would go back there again.
