Awesome, We got a half a bushel of jumbo males, clams and shrimp and it was awesome. Highly recommended

The spot maybe small, but it more than makes up for that in flavor. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the oysters, but don't sleep on the sides or other entree options either... The crab cornbread was really tasty, the fries were cooked perfectly, and the blackened shrimp tacos were excellent (and abundant- I couldn't finish it all.)

+++ Chesapeake Bay raw oysters (various sizes but not too small, some are big and fat, very fresh and taste very good, super deal for $1 buck-a-shuck, but too bad only available for one weekend) ++ Fish & chips (3 large fish fillets, taste good, fries in chip shape, very good) ++ Bowl of New England clam chowder (a little pricey, but a lot of clam pieces, very good) + Double flash fried soft shell crab, lettuce, tomato, onion on brioche with garlic lime aioli, served with chips and pickles on the side (very soft shell, taste good, chips with sweet Maui seasoning, good) -- Located inconspicuously on the side of Mr. Bill's Seafood store. Not many seats and very plain appearance. Most items are a little overpriced.

The fat crab has the best seafood! Amazingly fresh and always delicious. Their cod fish and chips are hands down the best! What are you waiting for GO!!

Looks like a fish market but that is the beauty of it. Fish counter when you walk in and tables to the left. Fish could not be any fresher. Great meal! Give it a try

I asked if they had lump crabcakes and they said, yes, jumbo. So I ordered one. It was NOT a lump crabcake. There were a few pieces of lump, but it was mostly claw. I enjoyed the crab corn bread. Husband enjoyed the oyster Po Boy. The tomato fish bisque was mediocre. I will not return. Mostly because they lied.
Had the blackened shrimp tacos and they were delicious! I can’t believe I’ve lived in Lancaster for 6 years and have never been! It is a nice casual spot to dine in or sit outside. Will definitely be back soon!

Overpriced. 2 dozen oysters at half price special (somewhat small oysters), 3 fish tacos with $5 extra to upgrade to cod, bowl of Tomato Bisque, Total $81

We just ate there for the first time today. All our food was delicious and plentiful. My husband said his fries were amazing. Will definitely dine there again.

What a wonderful place to eat. Our waitress was so nice and helpful. We really enjoyed our chat with her. This is in a small place with a small parking lot. But there is free parking on the street. There are not a lot of tables but it is so worth going. The seafood is fresh as it is a seafood market as well. The Fat Crab is inside of the market. Go up to the counter and order and pay for your food. They bring it to your table. We got the Shrimp Po'boy sandwiches with fat plumb shrimp with wonderful seasoning. Also got crab cornbread, new london crab soup. Oh the chips have a season on them that is so so good! And the cornbread is scrumptious. I asked what they put in the cornbread and our waitress gave me the secret to it that I will try to make myself. Oh and the tarter sauce was very good too. We had the best meal of our trip here! You can buy the special season that they use and I did get some. Thank you for such a wonderful meal!
Parking: Very small parking lot with only a few spaces. Hard for a large pick up to get in here. We had to go around the corner to find free parking on the street.
