I reached out to crab depot 3 times so they could make the order right before I left a bad review. I ordered a bushel of blue steamed crabs for $202.00. The claws were mostly dried and over seasoned. Seasoning needed brushed off. Was no the best of quality. The same day they ran a special for $169.00 and I also ordered a bushel to be delivered on September 25 2025. I was sent an email saying not sure of day and I confirmed it in the email and by phone and was told it would be delivered on September 25th. Order was sent on August 9th and the bushel I picked up, which I drove from Pittsburgh pa to pick up was on August 7, 2025. So I had to clean out freezer to fit delivered order in and sent email on mistake. Plus this crabs were very dry over seasoned most of the crabs were garbage and inedible. Not one crab was sweet. Not one claw could be eaten. Terrible! I reached out in email 3 times and no one responded except girl I talk to saying crabs would not be sent until 9/25/25 that were sent 08/09/25 and inedible. I've ordered from crab depot in the past and received good service and quality. This time service was horrible and quality was worse. They can not be eaten. I still have them frozen in freezer for evidence if it made me sick. Some crabs tasted spoiled. I would never order from crab depot ever again. I don't recommend anyone order from this company. They certainly don't care if you received spoil product and don't try to make it right.

DO NOT EAT HERE. They serve you SPOILED and OLD seafood. I should’ve listened to the guy at dollar tree who told me he got sick eating here. I ordered 2 and 1/2 pounds of crab claws. Took them home and EVERY. SINGLE. Claw was dried and shriveled up like SpongeBob when he needed water. I saved one container to take back because the other was tossed. The manager gave me a redo of the amount i brought back but said I couldn’t get my full amount back because I didn’t bring the claws I tossed out -_-. He was overall all rude. I take the crab claws home and YALL. THE MEAT SMELLS LIKE A MALE FERAL CATS PISS. STRAIGHT AMMONIA. That means the crab was spoiled and decomposing. Needless to say do not come here. The seafood is grade F and I’m reporting them to the health department.
Has very good mussels but crabs are not so good.

Yes, the legs had meat in them however, that was all of the meat. The body portion was empty. To be clear I was not complaining about the price my issue was that I paid for five crabs and only three were edible. - Yesterday was my first time visiting this establishment. I chose to go here because of the great reviews. I purchased five super males. Out of the five, two were hollow. I called to inform the staff and was told that I could bring them back for a refund or replacement. I respect the return policy however, it is not always feasible. I live an hour away from the location and am not going to waste my gas money. The crabs were good but very overpriced for only three that were edible. I will drive for crabs but I will not drive to return them.
