About The Shrimp Boat Restaurant and Seafood Market

The Shrimp Boat Restaurant and Seafood Market is a popular spot with a great outdoor seating area that welcomes dogs. The food is fresh and excellent, with typical seafood prices. The shrimp tacos are a must-try, topped with a delicious green sauce available in spicy or regular options. The Eastern Shore platter is also popular, featuring crispy, house-made breading on the fish and shrimp. Customers are treated to two free steamed shrimp upon arrival, and the hush puppies are a delightful side that hits the spot. The restaurant provides RV parking and has a special weekend menu worth checking out. While the steamed crabs may not always meet size expectations, the steamed shrimp, salads, and desserts are highly recommended. The seafood menu also includes raw seafood for purchase to enjoy at home. Kid-friendly options are available, making it a great spot for families to enjoy a variety of dishes. Customers have praised the welcoming service, with staff like Miss Louise creating a friendly atmosphere that feels like family. The seafood is noted for being fresh and perfectly seasoned.

Worst meal in OC we have had. Over priced. Sign says hot steamed crabs and they were cold Our whole meal was cold!!! Left there still hungry and our bill was over 100 bucks. So so dissatisfied and disappointed. Won’t ever be back!

Ordered XLs and received mediums with several light crabs. Waitress said they go by weight now to avoid empty large crabs (which I get) BUT then they wouldn’t tell me how much a dozen XLs weigh for the cost of 109/dozen. Just doesn’t seem transparent. Additionally, they don’t use liquor in their mixed drinks. They use a wine based liquor alternative. Super pricey drinks for not being real liquor. I used to love this place. Sad about the changes to how they size their crabs.

The best crab cake I have ever had! Loved the half price shrimp meals and half price drinks during happy hour (3-5).
