My rule when talking about seafood is that, first of all, we haven't been able to go to seafood places as often as we would like. Now that the nest is empty, seafood is back on the menu!!!! 1. The shrimp was good. We got coconut shrimp and the fried jumbo shrimp. 2. The cocktail and coconut shrimp dipping sauces were excellent! The coleslaw was good. It was a solid mix of veg and mayo! Finally, the only thing that really wasn't epic was the fries. They weren't horrible, just not the best I've had. Overall, a place that is now on our places we are going to go to again list. read more

My hubby and ordered takeout from this place and it wasn't great! We likely would not return.

I would give them zero stars if I could! Called in an order for a bushel of #1 males on Monday before Father's Day. Went to pick up my order and they were OUT of crabs!! Now my family,who were all waiting for our traditional Father's Day crab feast has no crabs. Don't depend on these people. And they did not try to do anything to make it right! They just said "tough." read more

Mehhh. Everything I get is just ok and I don't like a sweet crab cake lol the three stars is for pricing .... I'm going to try again read more

The cashier was pleasant and polite. Crab cake is so so. There is some type of sweet taste no bueno for me. They no longer make homemade Tatar sauce instead I was given a ketchup type packet of tartar sauce. Wtf! I just paid 20.00 for a single crab cake and u give me that! The cc has too much sweet breadcrumb filler for me. Looking for the ultimate crab cake out there. read more

food is amazing, customer service too i got a crab cake platter and it was to die for u will definitely come again

This place has been my go to for so long i'm not sure why i haven't raved about this place yet! They have quiet a selection of seafood, my go to plate is the spiced shrimp platter. We decided to switch it up for dinner and chose a special of the day and to split a platter. Just the right amount to split down the middle with my partner, and they add scallops what a steal for $20. The only IF considered complaint i had was that in the crab sub i had a tad too much mayo for my liking. The roll was delicious as well help it all in without getting soggy which is a MAJOR plus. If you haven't please go check it out! read more

Cameron's Seafood - Frederick - 14. Seafood Platter - Seafood Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

Today I purchased one dozen #1 male crabs from Cameron's Seafood in Frederick, MD. Since I am staying in a nearby hotel, I had them cook the crabs while I waited. After getting the bag of steaming crabs I was so excited to drive back to the hotel and dive in. Unfortunately, when I pulled the first crab and started opening it up to eat the meat was mushy and the flavor was bad. The crab was clearly WAY overcooked which is unfortunate because it had density and size. After that first crab there was no way I was going to start opening others because then I have no grounds to ask for a return on my invested funds. I called the store to inform them of what I experienced, and the owner argued a moment and then said to bring the crabs back and he will give me my money back. That was followed by a sharp disconnect via him hanging up the phone. Great, I was going to let things end there but when I bring the crabs in, the owner proceeded to open another crab and give me a lecture on how to eat crabs, he's been in business 27 years and he gives a good product, blah, blah, blah. SIR, I was born and raised in Maryland, so I've been eating crabs since I was 2! When I purchase food and you cook the food, I expect to be able to eat 100% of the food I purchased. Not 50%, not 60%, I expect to be able to eat 100% of what I purchase from your establishment. If you can't provide a quality product, then ONLY sell the seafood live. I wouldn't even be writing this review if you had not been so antagonistic and insulting. You are a business owner so act appropriately and produce the quality product you claim to provide. Good Day, Sir! read more

I have visited this store in person a few times over the past 17 years, since it has been located in the shopping center at 5731 Buckeystown Pike, but have not been into the shop in at least 5 years. Late PM this afternoon, I sat down at my PC with my wife to place a DoorDash order for dinner, and we decided to check out the menu for Cameron's Seafood. The menu looked great, and so we I placed an order. Since I rely upon my inner guidance (also known as gut sense or intuition), a lot in my day-to-day life, I decided to trust this inner guidance and order several items so that I could try them all (they were fresh fish sandwich, fried fish sub sandwich, crab cake sandwich, and fried clams, while my wife ordered the softshell crab sandwich, jumbo lump crabcake sandwich, broiled stuffed flounder, coconut shrimp, and raw oysters on the half shell. And, again trusting my inner guidance, and somehow being CERTAIN that the quality and the serving size would be great, I made the decision to order multiples of each item, ordering from two to four of each item, and I suggested to my wife that she do the same for her part of the order, so that we would have plenty of food items left uneaten that we could put in the fridge and in the freezer for future meals (since we live way out in the wilderness in the mountains, on a forested mountainside. Since we have several deep freezers, we do this a lot when we order restaurant food. In fact, we live in such a remote wilderness area that when my wife hikes down to the base of our long steep driveway to wait for the meal delivery driver, she is often joined by Iocal raccoons and/or bears, who are hoping for free samples!). The DoorDash driver delivered the order just about one hour later (I live far from the shop, way out in the mountains), at exactly the time that DoorDash had predicted. Well, the food turned out to be AMAZING in every way! The quality was great, all of the seafood was very fresh, as were the other ingredients, the frying oil that had been used was obviously very high quality and very fresh (among other hats that I wear, I am a food scientist, and I could not detect any peroxidized oils nor any other undesirable tastes in the cooking oil used for frying....!) and the serving quantities for each item were huge! The items were all packed very well, mostly in "green" waterproof cardboard clamshell boxes, and we found that everything had been packed very carefully by the store staff. Largely due to the pandemic, I have ordered meals from DoorDash and other meal delivery services from a number of local restaurants over the past 2+ years, and with only one exception (Red Lobster, which does not meet the mark for quality or purity of food), I have always ended up receiving high-quality meals in all of my orders. However, this particular kitchen (Cameron's) stands out as even far better than all the rest of the local restaurants from which I have ordered meals over the past 2.5 years. I feel that the food that my wife and I ordered this afternoon from Cameron's is the highest quality restaurant/kitchen food that I have eaten in years, and that is REALLY saying something, given that a lot of the menu items that we had ordered were fried foods, and due to the nature of frying, it is very hard to achieve high quality in fried foods. However, this kitchen pulled it off for VERY SINGLE item that we ordered. I am still astonished at how fresh ALL of the seafood items were, as well as all of the accompanying items, and at their extremely high quality. So, I ate as much as I could of one of the fried fish subs, tried the fish sandwich (it turned out to be over-filled with large slabs of fried fish), and also ate about half of the fried clams. The leftover items, along with everything else that still remained untouched, either went in the fridge for consumption over the next 2-3 days, or was carefully re-packaged and labeled and placed lovingly in one of our deep freezers for use over the next few months; this came to at least 12 pounds of wonderful food that was repackaged and placed in the freezer, and another 3 or more pounds of food that went into the fridge! Okay, now let's talk about quantity, that is, serving size: The serving size of all of the meal items was extremely large, and, particularly when viewed in light of the very low prices for the items, was almost unbelievable. ALL of the menu items that we ordered, despite the fact that the restaurant needs to raise the price over in-house-purchase prices to recover delivery service fees, were ridiculously low-priced. You can be sure that as soon as our reserves of the items that we ordered that are stored in the fridge and in the deep freezer grow low, I will be placing another large order with this kitchen for my wife and myself! In closing, all that I can say about this kitchen and all of the meal items that we ordered is WOW! read more

Large Crab Gumbo...not one shred of Crab, very disappointing for 12 bucks...they should remove this gruel from the menu or rename it. This is NOT gumbo, I'm not going to point out all the ways its not but as you can see from the picture its basically veggie soup/stew and should be advertised as such. read more

Crabs were good but 2 major issues: 1- I paid for 2 doz at $40 each = $80. Then I realized I forgot Crab paper. Asked for a roll and he said it's $1.99. Asked if I could add $8 to my receipt and give the extra $6 to the staff. Answer was no- fail. 2- Got the crabs home and he only gave me 14. So he gave me someone else's order. I called and he did make it right by refunding $40. All in all this guy is a bit of a joker. Get crabs elsewhere.. read more

Pre-ordered the fried shrimp basket....it comes with fries and coleslaw. Fries were excellent, coleslaw okay, shrimp was good but not excellent (too much breading for me, and appeared to me to be frozen and pre-breaded not fresh and battered/breaded. Quantities of shrimp and coleslaw were very good. read more

Strictly carryout. Fried cod platter was lightly breaded and crisp. Average flavor. They would have earned better marks if they had removed the skin first though. Fresh fish and live lobsters and crabs. Prices here ate high compared to area grocery stores. Not sure I will return. read more

Delicious, delicious, delicious! Always love Cameron's variety of wonderful food. Favorites are crab cakes and hush puppies.

It was so so very excellent with its food and cheaper prices, me and everyone else loves it

So far, so goooood! Have started with the ol' Soft Shelled Platter. The crab were soft, meaty, and yum-yum yummy. What's nice about this game place is, whatever you see in the display windows, they will broil, steam, bake, or fry. THAT'S what ima talking about. Then and there, kid!. One and done! Ready for Freddy! Start your engines to eat, what you have actually seen beforehand. Interesting? Anywho, next, the Broiled Ultimate Seafood Platter tonight. Oink-oink! Just kidding. I totally over-imbibed with those soft shell crabs. Usually-always, I'd have one, and be happy. Obviously, not... read more

Just visited Cameron's for the first time. I purchased 2 red snapper. I like making it at home. I usually get it from H Mart. I chose to support them today. I ordered the fish from one guy. He was pleasant to talk to. He asked if I would like it cleaned. I said yes, cut the fins, and remove the scales, thank you. He weighed the fish, gave me the total, and I paid. He started cleaning the fish then the other guy (not sure who he was, but seemed like the manager/owner etc) stopped him from cleaning the fish. I saw it happen but I didn't think he was stopping him from cleaning the fish. I thought he was finished and the fish were clean when he gave them to me. Anyway, I just returned home and took the fish out of the plastic to find that half of one fish was cleaned and the other was untouched. I was charged $28.77 for the two fish. I guess I'll stick to purchasing at H Mart. I won't return. read more

Omg, I have driven by this place more than 100x and never stopped in because I thought it looked "shady". I finally went in on Friday evening for some seafood. The Lobster Bisque was SOLD OUT but the Cream of Crab Soup made up for it. It was amazing! The Jumbo Shrimp as equally outstanding as well, filled with crabmeat and no fillings. The service was great as well. read more

Cameron's Seafood - Frederick - Jumbo Shrimp stuffed with Crabmeat - Seafood Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

Why do restauranteurs hold themselves out to be something they're not? I cruised by Cameron's because I saw them from across the street at Walmart. I was like, cool.. a Seafood House.. I spent a lot of time in the Coastal Carolinas and Lowcountry Georgia, and Long Island so I know and crave GOOD seafood. I walked in, and saw the fresh display of "Fruits de Mer"... COOL.. I grabbed a menu to order pick up for later. I didn't think I should've asked if the fish and shellfish were THE SAME products they ACTUALLY cooked when people ordered cooked food. The platters.. (which now I know why the prices are so cheap). I ordered 4 combo platters for me and my kids.. a myriad of Tilapia, Shrimp, Oysters, Calamari and sides of CoC and FF's.. well, the shrimp, calamari, were straight out of the Frozen food section of the grocery store. The oysters (which you really can't fake) were breaded and fried properly.. and fresh. I must admit, I am a Chef and I know the difference between freshly caught, battered, and house "prepared".. and the crap you can buy at the Walmart. The Corn on the Cob was ICE COLD!! The FF WERE ICE COLD!..it also had a weird taste.. I ordered this stuff at 8pm, and NOBODY was in the place. So, why am I getting cold food?? Because they're more concerned with closing the place down for the night than giving their customers Hot Fresh Food. If I wanted 2nd rate Flash frozen, Prebreaded shellfish, I would've just gone to Red Lobster it Captain D's. For $80+ i won't be back.. I see why it's empty on a Thursday night at dinner time. read more

Ordered a Bushel of crabs for $300, they told me they were medium to large crabs. Got to my destination and opened the box to be very disappointed. Worst tasting crabs I've ever tasted. There were no larges in the box either. Under the top layer was just legs and claws that looked like they were just thrown in their. Will never go here again or refer them to anyone. If there was an option to give no stars I would. read more

This placed satisfied a quick steamed crab craving. I ordered a half dozen male crabs when I walked in. While I don't doubt the seafood was fresh, I doubt the freshness of the steaming. I barely sat a minute after paying for the order when they brought out the bag to me. I like them fresh out of the steamer still moist inside and out. :) Regardless, they weren't cold and were still delicious when I got home. I would return again to satisfy a quick craving and when I'm not in the mood to sit in and have them at May's. read more

Here is what I experienced...It was much worse in person I'm so disturbed I'm in tears. It was awful Cameron's Seafood Manager and the Assistant Manager were just rude to me. The owner tried to embarrass me in front of the other customers. I ordered online, went to pick up the order, the identical order was ready when I arrived, but when it was time to get my food, the owner said he never received payment. I showed him the confirmation of payment and the receipt and he practically called me a LIAR and said the food belonged to someone else! I said "okay" I'll wait here for 30 minutes to see if someone else picks up the exact order I just placed. He then said he was too busy to deal with me. I said my parents come here practically every weekend. The owner is Indian and the Asian man is there daily. I left quietly and will never return of course. Emotions are high and unless Black folk pay and leave quietly they get verbally assaulted. A black man was in there and agreed that he didn't like the OWNERS tone. But I was practically in there by myself. SHAME ON THEM BOTH read more

Disappointed on a few levels. The crab cake in the display appeared to be a nice crab cake of lumpy thick crab. In reality it was like the smaller ball of mostly bread crumbed crab rolled in lumpy crab... very misleading. It was undercooked and the stuffed shrimp was over cooked and rubbery. Bummed and feel ripped off I spent 24.90 with tip with no sides. Buyer beware. read more

Horrible seafood: shrimp had an unfresh frozen & tainted taste, crab cakes were under cooked, oysters were okay, and fish was alright at best. The vegetables and rice were bland and was overloaded on the plate to make it seem fuller. My entire family complained. We spent close to $80 dollars and was very disappointed. This was our second time Purchasing from them. The first time wasn't good either ,but we wanted to be fair thinking they just had an off night. This place is horrible do not waste your money‼‼ read more

This is Indian tasting seafood. Enough said. It's just not worth it. Drive to lighthouse in new market if you want fresh seafood. Drive to J&T's in woodbine or Avery's in Frederick if you want crabs. read more

I don't understand why there are so many bad reviews! My family and I love this place. Super affordable for seafood, always hot and fresh, always on time, and it's always busy. (That's how you know it's good.) The seafood platter has SO much included and it's less than $30. Feeds 3-4 people. 10/10 recommend! read more

Cameron's sets itself out to be a purveyor of fresh seafood but I suspect it's anything but. For one, you have NO IDEA if the seafood is either fresh NOR do you know where it comes from. I bought a few pounds of shrimp from them and figured out later I could at least have been confident WHERE my shrimp came from if I had bought at Giant. Cameron's gives no such guarantee. read more

Tonight is the 1st time we ordered from them. The shrimp were very good and their cocktail sauce is delicious. The crab soup was decent...very thick but not a lot of crab. Their crabcake was terrible. Don't believe the pictures you see on the website. It was almost all filler and just didn't taste good. I had 2 small pieces of lump crab in my crabcake. I am really disappointed because I had heard they were really good. We love to support small businesses and local restaurants, but I don't know that we would order from here again. read more

Picked up 3 dozen steamed blue crabs which were just over $100. Called to order but was told it was first come first serve so we drove there to order and the man at the register had to get someone else to ring us up. Customer service was very unfriendly. As a customer I felt like I was inconveniencing them. Crabs were decent but several were mushy inside. Will give our business to someone else next time. read more

Bought a broiled sampler platter which included scallops, shrimp, crab cake and tilapia (tilapia which I wasn't expecting and don't care for)To my disappointment the flavor of the meal was very bland. The crab cake that Came with the meal was loaded with fillers. I though there was bread in it at one point. The steamed vegetables were tasteless and I couldn't even stomach the food to finish it. Yes...I almost threw up and needed to stop eating it. A few months back I ate here and had a totally opposite experience and enjoyed the food back then. Obviously, somethings changed or I just ordered on a bad "cooks" day. $22+ for a "healthy" meal when you're on a budget is huge for this Uber driver! Guess I'll have cereal tonight. read more

We got some to-go from here last Friday---it is Lent, after all---and overall we enjoyed the food. I had the fried catfish, which to this Southern Louisiana gal was surprisingly good. Not the best, not even close, but it tasted fresh, didn't have too much breading, and was definitely something I would order again. My husband got the platter, which included a variety of things. The fish in the platter (I'm not sure what it was) did not taste as good as the catfish. The crab cake was very blah and tasteless. The scallops we're too gooey for my liking (although my husband said he didn't mind). The fried shrimp looked ridiculous (like pancakes with tails, I've never seen a fried shrimp like that before). But, the spiced shrimp was very good. It reminded me of a good New Orleans shrimp boil. Very tasty. We called and ordered ahead, which ended up being a very good idea, considering the line of people waiting for their food was rather long and we just walked up, paid, and left. I can see myself ordering from Cameron's again (catfish and spiced shrimp!) and would recommend it to anyone who has a seafood craving but would rather eat at home. read more
