Wild Seafood

My new seafood market! Growing up in DC, the wharf was always my go-to spot for fresh and fast cooked seafood. Now that I'm in MD and several miles from the city, I was in need of a fresh seafood market. In jumps Wild Seafood! Wow. Just wow.If I am not mistaken, the market receives daily fresh seafood shipments. Once inside, you're greeted with so many seafood options -- from fish to shrimp, conch, and much more. During my most recent visit, I purchased snapper and salmon. Both were amazingly fresh. I opted for them to clean and scale the snapper for me. When I got home, we ended scaling the fish a bit more. I also did my own version of cleaning, seasoning and we cooked that bad boy the next day! *Chef's Kiss*I have to go back to purchase their crabs and crawfish. I'll do this once the weather decides to be sunny and consistent!Definitely make a visit if you live close by!

A staple in Jessup! Hey I've been going here for years and have never been disappointed!!! They have all the fish you're looking for....im from the Midwest so I had a craving for jack salmon/whiting and whole catfish that can be cut into steaks. This place previously would just filet or cut the heads off but now they give you five ways of cutting your fish for which I think is great!!!! They have all the seafood ( scallops, shrimp, crawfish, etc.) that you need along with seasonings and oil. Oh did I mention they have fresh crab-meat and lobster!! They are a lil expensive but you get what you pay for.Got a seafood craving give this place a try!

I love this place for the fresh seafood and the selection, but especially for the terrific service and the pleasure of shopping here. We wanted to make a bouillabaisse, and found everything we needed in this rather small well-stocked fresh market. The secret of the traditional recipe is to use almost-all fresh seafood, no fresh-water fare, and maybe a little bit of frozen seafood. Traditionally it's fishermen's stew, so really, only add one "splurge" ingredient. The iced tables had at least 40 types of whole and trimmed seafood, with several more in the freezer. In two-thirds of the store it's self-serve, and everywhere you select the exact ones you want. Gloves and trays are provided, and if you like, bring the whole fish to the window in the back and they are happy to trim it the way you want it. In February, we got fresh hake, mussels, and shrimp. The mussels were so clean that when we prepared them at home, we found that they were already almost-all beardless and completely without a grain of sand! We added some frozen haddock for variety. And for a special touch we added fresh rockfish, just enough to gently simmer separately to be sure every guest was served a portion on top of the rest. For the stock, we asked for some fresh-cut trimmings of whatever anyone just bought, and the amazing manager gave us a huge de-filleted grouper, cut in half for us to fit our stewpot! It was so big, my carving knife at home couldnt have cut through the bones! Our broth could have been a meal in itself, and we dipped it with toasty sourdough bread to savor every drop. We shop here every few months for a family feast, we always feel well taken care of, and we can always find fresh in-season seafood here.

$1 crabs from Saturday were AMAZING. We're serious about steamed blue crabs in MD and while there are loads of places that sell them - you pick a good one and stick with them. This spot is amazing. They have all kinds of seafood- fresh and dressed or non. You can have prepared to your liking in store or take home whole fish and customize yourself. And then there are the crabs. They do offer crabs by the dozen at cost but I am partial to the $1 crabs which have always been a good size and have never failed me. I arrived at opening and was told the truck has just come in so I had a few hour wait for steaming so I fed my shopping addiction in area and returned. Get here early because they get super busy

Very good quality seafood. Pricy except crabs, but worth it. We love the steamed crabs they offer

I have recently discovered a fondness for chargrilled oysters! I found that Wild Seafood sells fresh oysters, however they are not cleaned or shucked! No problem to this novice! This gem is close to my home with most hours of 9-5 with the exception of Fridays and Sundays! The location is nestled in a warehouse area when you must go through a gate to enter! I've never paid for parking so that's not an issue! Upon entry near a loading dock, the store front is small but there is wall to wall seafood! The oysters are right up front! And on most occasions, they have three types at differing sizes and price points! I have purchased the VA Salts which are small but about $16/dozen! I have also purchased the Glidden Points which are $27/dozen I believe! The Glidden Points are a lot bigger! They were not shucked however and I asked about how to and the young lady advised me to go to YouTube University but be very. Careful not to cut your hands! I also purchased the Scottish Salmon which was amazing however it was about $21.99/lb! I have also purchase catfish as well as red snapper which I have had cleaned and cut to my liking! And if you are not certain how you like your fish cut, they have a board that is very detailed to advise of cutting styles!The staff here are very nice and friendly fly and very knowledgeable! It is a small staff and they remember faces! They definitely remembered myself and my boyfriend! I will be returning to purchase more and more fresh amazing quality seafood!

We trekked here to grab some fish for Friday!!!There was a good selection of seafood. We purchased porgies which are my mom's favorite. We try to get her every thing she desires. The porgies we cooked today were super fresh. We also purchased snapper, shrimp, and salted cod that we froze for another day. I am planning a shrimp and grits meal next. The prices were expensive; 4- snapper fish was $60+ dollars. Well everything is expensive these days. We arrived early about 9:30 am. When we were leaving about 15 people came in so we went just in time. The patrons were friendly and we exchanged stories and information about fish. Also, the staff is friendly and courteous and the fish cleaners did an excellent job -- no scales. Please remember to tip them if you go. I plan to return more often so we eat more fresh fish.

Wild seafood is hands down the best fresh seafood in the area. Not only is the seafood top tier the service and staff is as well. The general manager is about the friendliest person I've ever met. You'd never think that this little gem nestled in at what you think is a big truck stop when you pull up, could be this great. 5 out of five would recommend. As much as I eat out, this girl is a big time cook and the quality of the fish seafood hits the mark for me! Give them a try you'll never want to get seafood from anywhere else. It's worth the drive.The prices are fair in my opinion. I spent about 40 bucks on a pound of shrimp and a pound of catfish. The pieces of catfish were huge, already deboned. They also had whole fish selections.

Great service & the freshest whole fish! Had Porgies, Croakers & Spots! Convenient location. Plenty of parking

Everyone is so friendly and the fish is sooooo fresh. it's some of the best i've had in a while. Come here if you're looking for fresh fish that you can pick yourself with your own hands and choose how you want it cut
