I just want to see how big the crabs are while you're bagging and counting them.

I recently ordered the sautéed crab in their special sauce for $18 per pound. When I placed my order, I inquired about the size and condition of the crab, and the server mentioned it would be a variety of sizes. Unfortunately, the quality was disappointing. Two out of the four crabs had only one claw each, and one had just a single small leg. The rest were in poor condition and heavily coated in the sauce. The sauce itself was excessively salty, and even after rinsing off the excess, it remained too salty to eat. Ultimately, I had to discard them. The crabs were in the worst condition and inedible due to the saltiness.

Well. This is supposedly “the spot” for take out seafood. I got a #10 (I think). 1 piece of fish, 2 shrimp, 2 scallops and a crab cake and I think 2 slices of bread (maybe) for 21.99.

It didn’t wow me. In fact I wished I had spent my $20 elsewhere. It wasn’t bad, I just think my expectations were too high. lol. As soon as I pulled up…I was like well, this is either gonna be really good or really bad. It was neither.

The service was good. They have that place running like a well oiled ship. You can see all the seafood on the table in the back - crabs just sitting there waiting to be eaten. There was definitely a lot to choose from. They have like some sort of assembly line going on back there and the place was pretty busy.

So, if you like hood seafood joints, this place is perfect!

A very popular spot in this area, often with a line inside. There are no tables, only takeout. The food is prepared quickly, within 15 minutes. They also offer a lot of ready-made items like crabs. If you want to cook at home, they have marinated chicken, shrimp, and more. We bought different assorted ready meals here a couple of times, and they included free sauces, pasta salad, and soda, which was a nice touch. However, there's a downside — we stopped buying food here a long time ago because even from outside, the smell of overused frying oil is overwhelming. It’s more of a stench than a smell at this point. I don’t think such food can be healthy or safe anymore.
