"This place rocks! We got 2 dozen blue crabs, 3 pounds of King crab legs, fresh tuna streaks, their garlic butter and 2 bags of hush puppies. Oh, can't forget about the key lime pie! Awesome meal for the family, it was all so fresh and delicious, saving this place for future trips! I wish we found it sooner on our trip because we would have been regulars all week. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They had all the drinks and fixings you need for your meal including apparel."
"Great place, owner was super helpful while I enjoyed a beer and recording amazing meat selections. Highly recommend!!"
"The service was quick inside although they had a tail going out the driveway of drive through orders. They easily added my requested lemons and service was very nice. I will need to try the fish next time!"
"The crabs are great!!!! The service is fast. I had the fish sandwich as well which was delicious and a great price. My only downside or complaint is that they don't clean the shrimp to my liking. You can still spot the poop !"
"Absolutely the best fish in Portsmouth ive had. Very reasonably priced too. I highly recommend the cat fish and the deviled crabs."
"Hey everyone, there's a local seafood market on Tidewater!Call to order for pick up or place your order at the walk up window. No dining inside just amazing carry out!If you're from the Maryland area and haven't found your taste by the sea yet... look no further and just pay Tidewater Seafood a visit."

Ordered the Buffalo City (added 2 lbs shrimp) and a 1/2 bushel of crabs. Easily fed 15 people and had leftovers. Food was great. Place was very clean and the staff was very friendly. Order was ready in-time. Will return next visit to the OBX!

This place is great! The team was very nice and the shop was clean and inviting. Everything we had was amazing. We stopped in to have a club sub. The sandwich was perfect. We took pork chops and chicken salad to-go. All three items were perfect! Thank you and we will be back!

One of my favorites!!! I frequent both sides of the establishment often. Love the scallops and shrimp. Seasoned perfectly. Family members love the oysters.

This is my go to spot when I want steamed crabs. I've also had the fried shrimp here which are very very good. I love their prices and they are very affordable. Quality of crabs out when every crab spot in the area. I am specifically talking about blue crabs. You can get a dozen of females easy for under $15. I do love their jimmys and enjoy them very much but they rarely have them. This is not a eat and seafood place. Here's a tip call ahead for going to get your crabs. They can get full pretty fast with my walk in customers. I prefer Wickers for eat in crabs, but Kings Seafood is by far the best for takeout. Crabs are always very clean. Another tip, when you ask for heavy seasoning, they really don't put it on like you want. I just buy the container of seasoning from them for about $3.

One of the best seafood spots in Portsmouth. If you have been, you need to go. The food is always on point, and they give you a lot. I never finish my food because they give you so much.

I had the Catfish dinner, I substituted the coleslaw for the collard greens (mistake). My husband had the 10 piece shrimp. The seasoning on the fish and shrimp were amazing.

Stopped here to get food before visiting my relatives . Fried seafood was mediocre including fried scallops , fried whitings and fried shrimp . They give you lots of fries with obay seasoning on it. It's so weird because the fried wings here are slamming ....... shiiiiiiiid I was kicking my fingers and all. Now that some well seasoned chicken

"Great service, and the whiting for fixed to perfection. I had to attend an event at the last minute, so I had Stuart's to do the fish and hush puppies. Everything was fresh and packed nicely .Family enjoyed the fish and hush puppies tremendously.Thanks guys for doing such an awesome job!!"
"When I use to live in Virginia. I use to go pick up carry out for me and my two co-workers and we would eat it M-F because the food was so fresh delicious ! I will be on vacation this coming week and I'm definitely going to stop by because I've been craving it since I left Virginia."
"Thinking I was going to a MD type seafood place and hungry and tired I stayed there to order and eat it.I had the seafood special scallops (2) shrimp fish and fries and it was delicious. Got to go to again"
"Ocean is killing it on delivering the seafood, mainly crabs and spiced shrimp for me. Love the owner and her son. They're a wonderful duo. We no longer have to look for good fresh tasty steamed blue crabs. Everyone wears masks in her establishment. They will even bring your food outside if inside has more folks than you prefer."
"Always fresh seafood. Prepared to order. A good quantity. I like the dinners... Carry out only"
"Was looking for a fast local spot to hit our craving for seafood. We called in our order and was told 10 mins. This place is located in a very run down possibly questionable strip mall as many of the storefronts were empty, glad I just went with calling them first then determining actual location. Walked in, no noticeable smell of the fryer or seafood inside - which is a huge plus. Lady at the counter was also making orders - was super friendly. We got home and our boxes were OVERFLOWING with fried goodness. We got 10 jumbo shrimp combo, 2 whiting/crab cake/shrimp/scallops/oyster combos, side of fried okra, and side of clam strips. We went all out thinking portions will be skimpy- we were soo wrong - we had plenty for a second dinner. Breading was light and mildly seasoned which compliments the seafood it incased. Whiting and shrimp were our favorite - word of caution- there were minimal micro bones, which didn't bother us, but did give me pause before letting my kids have some. The crab cake was a bit mushy in the middle and overly fried- but it has promise, it was full of crab meat and seasoned well to keep the crab profile. The hush puppies were on the sweet side and in general not my favorite thing ever - anywhere. The fries were the generic and not seasoned - if I had a choice to pass on these I would. I would however get their fried okra, these taste so fresh and not your standard fried okra you find out there prebreaded and fried."
"Eddie's Crab House is a fixture in this part of SoNo. They have been a part of the community for many years and seem to have a pretty decent following. The crabs seem a bit smaller than they used to be but they've always been delicious. The breading is just right and they're fried and seasoned beautifully with just the right amount of spiciness. You are given a choice of spicy or plain, if you choose spicy they will douse the crabs with their own sauce when they come out of the fryer. Over the years, I've only bought crabs here. The soft-shells are spectacular but kind of expensive at $10 for a pair of pretty small crabs.As I said, I've only bought crabs here (fried, steamed, soft-shell) but they do offer a lot of other fish and seafood as well. Shrimp, oysters, crab cakes, deviled crab, spot, whiting, flounder, etc... They sell sandwiches and full dinners. Available sides include fries, coleslaw, collards, baked beans, dirty rice, potato salad, rolls and cornbread. Besides the store menu they also have a full catering menu if you need to feed a crowd.This is strictly a take out restaurant, there are no tables or chairs inside or out. You just walk in, place your order (the menu is on the wall), pay and wait until it's ready. It's all business, don't expect a lot of small talk or warm fuzzies here. The only payment method Eddie's accepts is cash, they have an ATM on site if you need it. The building is old and could use a refresh, the private parking lot is pretty small but is generally adequate. If the lot is full there is usually plenty of parking at the church across the street. Ingress and egress is easy with access points in the front and rear of the parking lot. 3.5 stars rounding up to 4 for food quality and consistency."
"Good prices.. love the kickers and most of seasoned down male crabs.. in addition they are always very polite!"
