About

I've been around crabs my whole life, and I only sell what I'd put on my own table. Every crab we move is hand-graded for weight — if it ain't heavy and full, it don't go in your bushel. Live or hot steamed, seasoned to order, straight off the water. Call ahead, especially on weekends. We sell out.
