Lobster tail, and they give points for discounts.
Adelphia is a very old seafood purveyor to restaurants, grocery stores, and the public. Buy from the source and get it first! You may have to rob a bank on the way over though.
These were probably the worst steamed crabs I’ve ever had. Almost all of them I managed to have were absolute mush- like eating crab flavored wallpaper paste. In addition, I was scheduled for a 3pm pickup and thought I would be receiving hot steamed crabs but no- they were cold and I have no idea when they were actually steamed. The fact that they were so mushy made them inedible and they ended up going in the dumpster. There’s no way I would recommend buying steamed crabs here and I will not be back.
Never had a bad experience at Adelphia going back 25+ years. Seafood is always fresh and tasty and the people are super friendly, helpful and knowledgable regarding their products.
I have no issue with the price as with most things in life, you get what you pay for at Adelphia as far as I’m concerned.
I had an awesome experience with Emily over the phone recently for a big crab and clam order. Not only was she super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable but I got disconnected from her while on hold waiting to talk to someone and dam if she didn’t take the time to call me back which really impressed me which led to this favorable post.
It’s a joy to have people who want to help you and who care to make a difference and leave you feeling good.
Thanks Emily for making my day and letting me know all what I want will be readily available this weekend.
We walk in at the counter , only one customer in front of us, 4 employees and not one of them said anything to us, live in the area been there often, never again,

Adelphia is THE BEST local seafood store in our area!

3.30.24. Stopped by for some fresh packed crabmeat from the bay. They only had meat from Argentina. If you don't know good crab meat you might like it. Talked to Josh a really nice fellow and he said they get the good meat in April. They have the good bay lump meat fresh packed on the eastern shore as I bought some last week. Va. has been crabbing and Md starts 4/1. Just have to make some runs to Grasonville.I did buy a good brand of Key Lime pie for $23. They had Kermit's. It was a lot easier than bringing one back from Key West.Now they just need to sell Smith Island cakes like some seafood restaurants and distributors do.They had a nice array of other seafood. Prices were higher than Md. but transportation costs have to be factored in. Customer traffic was good.
Was in their West Lawn store Saturday, 12/17/2023 to buy sushi grade salmon. The woman manager stated their Norwegian salmon is what they consider “sushi grade.” It appeared to never have been frozen. All of the “sushi grade” salmon I have purchased previously in NYC had met the frozen requirements. Known parasitic fish, such as salmon, should be frozen at 0°F for 7 days or flash-frozen at -35°F for 15 hours. This will kill any parasites, making the fish safe for consumption. We will not buy “sushi grade” anything in their store ever again.
