Seasoned perfectly, in their words.

Two reviews about the crabs, word for word.

“I called late in the afternoon in a Friday not expecting them to have anymore crabs. To my surprise, not only did they have some, they had a variety of sizes to pick from at reasonable prices. Service was amazing as well. They took my bushel to the truck for me. Very friendly staff and my crabs were seasoned perfectly.”
