Nicholas is the man! Great prices for some great local seafood. If you don’t like what you get from this place you just aren’t a good cook!
Nicolas is the best! Nice live Crabs at good prices. My new crab spot 💯💯💯
The owner has a very condescending and pretentious way of speaking to customers. My husband and I went in asking for a few live crabs. We were immediately met with “Sold out. Check the website. Call and order in advance.” I then asked how often they tend to get them. He stated, “ Don’t know. Check the website.” Very off putting. The week before I had come in without issue and easily got live crabs from his employee. The best time to go is when you don’t have to deal with the owner because he can just be rude. Business would probably be much better if he learned how to appropriately talk to people. Very poor customer service on his part.
Follow-Up Response to Owner: My experience is not a lie. If you worked on your own personal issues, the way you talk to people would significantly improve (tone, word choice, dismissive nature) and perhaps you’d get more business. You could’ve said, “Crabs are hit or miss with extreme heat these days” instead of “ you gotta check the website and call and order ahead.” There’s a difference in how the two phrases are received. Just a little lesson to help you out.
Great quality and friendly people
Nicholas gave great deals great service and great quality fish. However when I got home after a large purchase I found some fish was missing. I called thinking it would be an easy fix and was met with rude attitude and accusations of lying. I was going to make this my new spot as I always shop in bulk for fish but after being ripped off and talked to with hostility I will not be returning.
Great quality seafood. Staff was very helpful
We recently came in for the first time and the gentleman working was awesome. They had run out of crab cakes but he took our phone number and rushed to fill the order and called us to let us know it was ready just a bit later. The crab cakes were AMAZING and got rave reviews by everyone. We ordered 10 and all were gone in an instant! We'll definitely be going back for all our fish needs!
Great experience! Helped me pick out everything I needed for my paella.
Great fresh seafood! Love how fat the oysters are, and the soft shell crab is much larger than what I’ve seen around here!
We've visited this place several times and it's unquestionably the best seafood store in the area. The fresh lobster tasted incredible! I've purchased live lobster from other places like Wegmans and it was never as flavorful as the lobster from this place. Nick, the owner, is always in the store and clearly loves his job and knows a lot about seafood. He guided us to a jar of shucked oysters and they tasted great. Also, if you want to try something new, like monkfish, he's a great source of advice. We'll happily return here and recommend it to friends.

recommended! impressed with the quality of seafood
Friendly staff. My can of jumbo MD crabmeat made delicious cakes!
I recently moved close to Ocean City Seafood and decided a few weeks ago to try them out. First, EVERY sort of fish or crustacean you could ever want they have available. Quality and price cannot be matched. I treat myself to crab legs every weekend in the summer and three weeks ago I went to my usual Whole Foods to get King crab legs. They were good but pretty pricey. Fast forward the past two weekends I have been stopping by my new favorite seafood market ( Ocean City) where I was able to not only get great quality crab legs, the price was amazing and the customer service is exceptional!
If you are in the neighborhood or even if you aren't, Ocean City is where you should be shopping.
Best place for incredibly fresh fish! You can't beat the quality of this place.
Hard to articulate into words .. Best Seafood store by far…So the place isn’t real big, but I used AI to find it .. AI said freshest seafood around … well let me say their crab cakes are not real big for $10 bucks , but they are the tastiest (seriously) best ever by far!!! Huge Black Tiger shrimp top shelf 5 star Restaurant material. I just ate those and the crab cake 375 old bay and …15 minutes I will never buy seafood from anywhere but OCS ….this place is like a hidden gem…brilliant find for Seafood lovers.. $45 bucks for Male Blue Crab a dozen… 4th coming up
