This is one of those classic family-owned, caught-that-day, roadside seafood shacks that are much better than most restaurants. We only ordered ready to eat... shrimp, flounder, scallops... it was all fantastic. And of course, the prices are much better than any restaurant. No place to eat inside or out, so plan on taking it with you.I didn't see a menu anywhere here, so I added a menu photo.

I called the same day and was able to reserve 3 dozen crabs for later in the day. Price was great, $99. Crabs were perfectly seasoned and we ate every single one of them.

Thanks to all the great Yelp reviews, I made sure to stop by Ricky's during a recent vacation to Chincoteague. Thanks to our great experience, I know I'll be back next time I'm in town!It's a very simple storefront - some fresh produce outside, right by the parking area, and then just an open façade for walking in to purchase the seafood. It's a bit tight inside, but the folks are friendly and welcoming and there was never really much of a line to order seafood.If you want crabs, order ahead of time so you can tell them exactly when you're going to want them ready. When I arrived to pick up my dozen male crabs, they were steaming hot. They were reasonably priced.Some of the seafood is super local, others they get from the mainland. I opted for some Chincoteague oysters which were so deliciously briny and fresh. The crabs were also locally and recently caught. Sometimes you gotta be ready to buy what's been caught, you know? That being said, I also enjoyed our rockfish that they had purchase for selling. Maybe next time I'll get some of the clams too.While the main draw is the local fresh seafood, they do sell a few other items like local hot sauces, seasonings, and even equipment like crab mallets and oyster knives (which was good, because my rental property didn't have one and I didn't want to shell out $20 extra to have my oysters pre-shucked).Next time I'm staying on Chincoteague, I will be ordering from Ricky's. Highly recommended!

We stopped by Ricky's after going to another seafood market that was closed. Since we stopped late in the day, we ended up ordering the crabs the next day. The person working the counter said to call at 11 so they know they can fulfill your order, and they sell out very quickly most days. We were also really surprised to learn about how cheap the crabs are here. At this time, Ricky's has a mixed dozen of #1 and #2 males for roughly twenty dollars. We ended up getting five dozen and decided to steam them ourselves at our rental house. The crabs were tasty, and there was a lot of meat in most of them.Overall, we were really happy with the blue crabs we purchased and thought they were a good value for the money. We definitely would recommend purchasing from Ricky's.

Delicious local oysters, freshly shucked! One of few places open during the off season.

We picked up four dozen oysters, which were shucked for us so easy for us to eat! We broiled some. A most delicious dinner with absolutely the best oysters.

Great produce and seafood options to bring home for a yummy dinner. We got 100 steamers and some corn on the cob for dinner and definitely enjoyed our meal better than any restaurants we have tried on our vacation so far!!

Went here because Little Bay was closed. Ricky's is a little produce and seafood shop run out of the garage of the owner's home. They have a large selection of fresh fruits and veggies for a reasonable price and little trinkets available for sale as well. We called in to see what the deal was for a lb of shrimp. It was reasonably priced as well but the lady who answered the phone was very brash and sounded annoyed to be receiving a call... Well... It's not like there is a website. Shrimp was ok but some were overcooked and they weren't deveined so eating them were a bit gritty.

Love this little piece of Chincoteague! People are happy and friendly. The crab cake sandwich is so delicious. Ricky's is a treasure. Must go and grab a crab cake sandwich to enjoy at the beach. It was $10.
