Blue crab with Jo spice

They have great prices, heavy crabs and they use JO spice which is a must for me. Really love this place!

Seafood boil!
Tina W.

We saw a TikTok video about this place and we love seafood so we thought we drive to ETown and check it out and we are so glad that we did. The girl that waited on us was very helpful and helped us decide on what we wanted. The King Crab legs are so big and cooked to perfection but my favorite part of the meal was the royal red shrimp. They taste just like sweet crab to me. The staff is super friendly and the food is excellent! We will definitely be back!

Outstanding seafood and great prices! The staffs very knowledgeable, friendly and beyond helpful. Whenever I have an event this is my go to source for nice seafood.

Yummy steamed crawfish

My wife and I have shopped here before as we readied ourselves for an Italian Christmas Eve Feast of the Seven Fish. We got squid, fish and shrimp from AB. All great. I was looking this weekend for jumbo shrimp and canned crab. Sadly they didn't have either. BUT they did have fresh steamed crawfish so I bought a couple of pounds for the heck of it. They came cold so I put them in a steamer for a few minutes and dang, they were so good! They were really clean and well seasoned. The crawfish were large and meaty and so spicy! The store had people shuttling the orders it the car, with this corona virus the only suggestion I have to wear a mask and gloves. Loved them!

I absolutely LOVE ABSeafood! It's a company owned and operated by fishermen from the Gulf Coast. They come up to N. KY with fresh seafood once a month. They deliver to 10-12 locations throughout KY, plus TN and S. IN. They also have restaurant/store locations in Elizabethtown and Paducah, KY. The royal red shrimp have to be some of the best shrimp we've ever had. They're large and sweet. The pint of oysters were fresh shucked and clean tasting, and the BIGGEST we've ever encountered. They were seriously the size of the palm of my hand! The oysters were also gigantic, and so delicious. You can definitely tell that the seafood was fresh caught, and shipped up within a couple days. It's like you're actually eating on the Gulf itself when you buy from ABSeafood. I've had too many bad experiences with grocery store seafood. If you're able to buy from ABSeafood, I HIGHLY recommend it!!! They sell a variety of items. Fish, crab, gator, crawfish, and special requets.

Fried grouper plate with crinkle cut fries. I'm not a fan of coleslaw, so I didn't try it.

A taste from hundreds of miles away is just minutes down I-65. The drive to Elizabethtown from Louisville for fresh seafood from the Gulf is soooo worth it. The building is very unassuming, but it's so clean and the fishermen behind the counter are very knowledgeable, helpful, and patient. I got the fried grouper plate, which comes with two hush puppies (small and sweet with bits of actual corn) and well-seasoned, crinkle-cut fries. My husband got the boiled shrimp plate, which comes with a corn-on-the-cob, sausage, and potato-- spiced with a subtle kick. And to make the mini-road trip really worth it, we also got fried jumbo shrimp, fried gator, and seafood gumbo. We basically made our own sample platters! All of that for under $40, which I think is more than reasonable for fresh seafood. I honestly cannot tell you which was best between the fried shrimp and the boiled shrimp-- both were fantastic! And it even came down to rock-paper-scissors between my husband and me when it got down to the last few bites of our feast. This was also my first time trying gator chunks, and I was pleasantly surprised! No-- I don't think it tastes like chicken but a more meaty squid? Either way, good seasoning on their batter definitely helped me get past the alligator meat thing! There is also housemade "seafood sauce" and other condiments to eat with your meal, but honestly you won't need it. And the best part about the gumbo is the crab claws in it! This meal was definitely a treat, and I already can't wait to go back. We took 2lbs of jumbo shrimp to take home with us, at $13.99 a pound. I can't wait to put it in the pot. It's like having Alabama in your backyard. They take pre-orders, too. When it gets warm, I have grand plans to grab a lot of live blue crab from AB Seafood!

All I can say is OOMMGGG!!! We were in town for the local soccer tournament and decided to give…read morethis place a try. It was so dang delicious that I can't wait for the next tournament to go back!! We had the crawfish dip, crab leg boil and shrimp boil. It was all so good but lemme tell you about these crab legs!!!! Insanely good! Better than the ones we get in Florida!! They were so well seasoned. The Royal Reds & fried shrimp were delicious. The sausage was perfectly cooked!! Those potatoes cut like butter. The crawfish dip was plentiful with crawfish tails!! Not a single complaint!! Prices are good. Bathrooms clean. Friendly staff. Highly recommend!!

A little "hole in the wall" seafood joint. The food is good and the service was polite, and prices…read morewere reasonable given that it's seafood (which isn't cheap to get fresh in Kentucky). I had the fried shrimp, and they clearly were NOT just frozen shrimp they'd bought somewhere and fried, these seemed homemade. . .definitely NOT typical mass-production shrimp. The food was pretty good. There's two things I would list as downsides, however. The first is that the wait for service was pretty long. It was quite a long wait from when I ordered until I got my food. That's a minor downside, given the quality. I got the picture they might not have a robust back-of-house staff. The second, and bigger downside is. . .I didn't go there expecting a seafood place! The well-worn sign out front still says "Deez Butts" BBQ, and I'd followed signs from the freeway exit thinking I was going to a barbecue joint. When I stepped inside, I pieced together as I was standing in line that the BBQ had closed and this was now a seafood place. It was good food, but I was expecting barbecue and was too hungry to bother hunting for another place to eat. I was left wondering if they couldn't afford to change the (well worn) sign out front. It just seemed a little odd that the sign out front is for a barbecue joint, but it's a seafood place inside.
