Every other time I have gotten prepared food at a seafood market it was great. I drove 30 minutes out of my way based on the reviews of this place. Was surprised to find that they don’t have any tables inside or outside, despite having room for a few. But I went ahead and ordered anyway. I got a “basket “ with 5 fried shrimp and a large crab cake and fries. The staff was nice, and they prepared the food in a reasonable amount of time. I took it out and ate it in my van (as I was traveling). The shrimp and fries were just okay. The crab cake was mostly crab meat, and good sized. But somehow didn’t really taste good. I don’t know what was wrong. Maybe it wasn’t fresh, the oil it was cooked in needed changing? It definitely didn’t have any seasoning or good flavor at all. Very disappointing, and I threw most of it away. The crab cakes I got at the two restaurants I have been to since then were great, but not in this area.

I ordered the fish basket. It was fresh but not seasoned well at all. The fries didn't have one bit of salt on them. You have to add salt on them when they first come out of the fryer. The fish did taste better after I added old bay and salt.

Best MD vegetable crab soup I've ever tasted! Bought 2 more pints for a friend and relative. Both raved about it.
