My experience was pleasant. First time coming here to buy some live crabs. Got a dozen medium female crabs. The staff was nice, welcoming, location was clean, and a good selection for what we were looking for. **The picture shared does not show the full dozen crabs. They actually added two additional with our order. Thank you Returning customer! read more

Great people and seafood. Kinda off the radar but worth seeking. Wish their selection was bigger, but top quality.

Great Crabs! Juicy & Meaty I always get extra seasoning. It's a little out of the way from where I live but definitely worth the extra miles. A must to go to for crabs! read more

Chesapeake Seafood - Boyfriend - Seafood Near Me - Edgewater, Maryland

Chesapeake Seafood seems to be a local favorite - they offer a limited menu of baskets, platters, samplers, sandwiches, and appetizers, as well as other fresh seafood where you can place orders in advance for a pick-up. We came here for an early lunch, and we ordered: +Crab Balls +Hot Crab Dip with Box Crackers +Shrimp & Fries +Jumbo Lump Crabcakes +Seafood Sampler - came with coconut shrimp, fried shrimp, calamari, clams, and crab balls The hot crab dip was my absolute favorite - it was thick, creamy, cheesy, and chock-full of lump crab meat. The box of crackers that came with paired perfectly, and this was such a great appetizer or a snack! The rest of the items were freshly-made and crispy - the batter wasn't overbearing, and it was just enough to taste the fresh seafood. Staff were super welcoming and friendly. There are a couple of tables inside, but most patrons seem to do carry-outs. +Hot Crab Dip! +friendly staff! +parking in private lot read more

Regarding the 79th Rotary club crab feast. I attended this year's Crab fest and all the other fests that Rotary club has sponsored. I wasn't pleased with this year's Crab Fest that the club had selected your company to prepare the stream crabs. Alright let me began to call you down how the Crabs missed the point how they were prepared. Under seasons, I don't know why the crabs were overly cook, and if the crabs were cook on the site; when we received the crabs they were cold? I attended this year's Wegmans that's located off of St Joseph Church drive from Landover Road. Their crabs fest that occurred on October 6th how Harris Crab House prepared the crabs on site. When I pick-up my order they were piping hot, even when I arrived home they were still hot, and well season. I was pleased with the crabs from Harris Crab House. read more

No frills. You want crabs? You want shrimp? Scallops? Fresh. Your order is brought to your car. Good place to visit. read more

Someone recommended this spot for their crabs so we stopped by to check them out. We didn't have time for crabs but instead got their fish dinner. The wait was a little longer than expected because we didn't see many customers however the fish was worth the wait. Fried golden brown with a light batter. The sides were ok. They weren't nasty but they could have used some seasoning. I recommend and will be returning. read more

Excellent crabs! They were try to size, clean, fresh, and meaty, and cooked to perfection. We got their bushel sale and had enough to make crab soup the next day! The staff was helpful and cheerful on the phone and in person! read more

Excellent crabs and excellent customer service! This is our go to when we're in the area! Oh--and that hot crab dip is the bomb!!!!

Staff of younger employees shows signs of hope for tomorrow's leaders. While dealing with an overwhelming demand they remain calm, collected, and courteous in the face of adversity. As a new resident I've observed them deal with complicated customers in a professional manner and not let it affect others in wait. The food was top notch and left me extremely satisfied. The professionalism of their young staff will keep me coming back. Thank you. read more

Chesapeake Seafood - a pile of crabs on a plate - Seafood Near Me - Edgewater, Maryland

Oh my gosh - we have had some fantastic seafood from Chesapeake's-including great soft shells, scallops and cherry stone clams. But---they outdid themselves yesterday with "The Maine Event" -- One quart of delicious crab soup, one pound of super sweet steamed shrimp, two amazing whole Maine lobsters, broccoli, sliced red potatoes and lots of melted"buttah". Could have fed a family of four!! For only $65!! Delish! read more

We purchased a dozen extra large crabs and a couple pounds of king crabs legs. Everything was really good. Take out service was excellent and covid friendly. read more

Chesapeake Seafood - Out with summer and in with fall. Excellent Crabs and king crab legs. Pumpkin beer. - Seafood Near Me - Edgewater, Maryland

The seafood platter was mediocre. If you are going to have fried seafood, the fries should be good. I guess I missed the boat by not ordering crabs. read more

Always a great experience - nice people, great seafood! Crabs and shrimp are perfectly seasoned and steamed every time. Go there a lot when the crab craving hits! read more

My wife and I were in Annapolis this weekend and decided to take some fresh steamed blue crabs home for us and other family. These folks at Chesapeake are amazing. This is our second visit over the past 12 months. The crabs are always fresh, hot and delicious. No bad ones and no issues, ever. They source quality crabs for a reasonable price. Not cheap but reasonable. I will keep coming back as long as they are in business!! read more

First time there today. Food was down within 15 mins. Staff was polite. Crab cakes were amazing soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. They were a good size, very filling. Fried fish was good too. Decent prices. Will be back! read more

Yelp, y'all need to allow people to put 0 stars. Seriously. First and last time unfortunately. Ordered 2lbs of Alaskan crab legs...why in the world were there only TWO clusters in my bag when I got home? My mom and I were pissed. Paid $51 for 2lbs of crab legs, 2 ears of corn, and coleslaw...even left a tip...just to be given 2 clusters. I know what 2lbs of crab legs look like. Been eating them since I was 4 and that was NOT it. The weight of the corn is what threw me off. Maybe that's what they weighed lmao..Chhhhh....Also, I don't think that teenage girl wants to works there she doesn't know how to speak to customers. You're suppose to engage with your customers, not stand at the register and look uninterested, then not speak after spoken to (5 times my mother tried to talk to her and she wouldn't say nothing..just stand and stare) anyway, them 2 clusters we got is what really got me heated. I see why this woman stormed in there without a mask Miss Mamas was pissed about customer service and one of them hung the phone up on her. Glad I stood out her way cus she probably would've cursed me out. read more

Cheapest creeps in town! Reheated craps and tried to push them off as fresh--to a Maryland native. Ah not!! Wait staff seem kind and nice but management blows. Poor people. Food was - not what I expected. Will never go there again. Beware! Will ensure locals are made aware of azz hat management and self centered arrogant management team are. Go to Edgewater restaurant instead. You'll be glad you did!!! read more

An hour waiting in the parking lot for one crab cake. Would have been so much better if you told me when I ordered.

Stumbled upon this place driving home. The only place that had soft shell crabs available the day I was near Annapolis. I got steamed crabs (excellent), a raw lump crab cake to cook at home (yum) and a fried soft shell crab that was really good. If I didn't live so far away from Chesapeake Seafood I'd be here every week. They were really nice to me and the other customers as well. Can't ask for more than good customer service except they kinda made you feel like Kin. read more

My husband would buy steamed crabs here before he went back home from work. Every time the crabs are fresh and delicious. We tried their steamed shrimp once and I have to say they made great cocktail sauce also. Not the cheapest seafood, but of solid quality. Service is ok, not too welcoming, but won't ask too much for service since we do take out all the time. Allow them 20 minutes to prepare the food. read more

Excellent place to get crabs, you got to try it you will like it, I was riding around looking for a place to buy some crabs, somebody told me about this place,.. a half a bushel for $50 steamed hot and ready to go so I've been coming here ever since. read more

Wow havent had crabs as good and heavy as this in a long time. Def worth the drive. But imma tell u one thing i will Neva Neva Neva get from here, hush puppies. Omg they were too sweet n mushy inside. read more

Love love love love love this place. I've lived in Maryland now for two years and have been truly disappointed in every single seafood place I've visited. THEN I FOUND MY LITTLE SLICE OF JUMBO SHRIMP HEAVEN! The clams and the mussels are cleaned and steamed perfectly. read more

MASKS not worn properly - The woman at the register refused to cover her nose with her gaping mask. When i asked her very nicely explains she ended up screaming and telling me to F-off. The teenager also not wearing bandana over nose but .. he's a teenager. Crazy times but just cover your nose and mouth. Not rocket science. read more

Hands down the best crabs we have ever gotten in Annapolis. The seafood is fresh and the crab dip is fantastic.

Terrible. Overpriced, crab dip with no crab - all filler and one piece is crab (I am not overstating). Ordered it for a party. Gave 5 of my guests diarrhea. As I was walking out of the shop - kid wheeling in seafood smoking a cigarette blowing smoke. I wanted to like this place - I make it a practice to support our local folks - so disappointing. read more

We just drove an hour to pick up our first crabs of the season. We paid 180 for a half bushel of medium crabs only to get home and find 29 crabs in the box so that's not even 2.5 dozen for 180 bucks. Total ripoff don't go here. Terrible customer service when we called to ask them about it. They were running a special 2 dozen for 90 dollars and they didn't see an issue when I asked how that math works out. I could have gotten four dozen for the same price. That will be my last time going here. read more

Drove here from Alexandria to visit Mayo Beach but it reached capacity so we decided to stop for food. I could tell this place was good because the phone was busy when we tried to call ahead and when we got there, there was a line outside to order. The place was super busy but they still offered beyond excellent customer service and even brought the food out to the car! Because of COVID, they only allowed two people inside. Warning!! It was a long wait, close to an hour, BUT it was totally worth it! We ordered the fried calamari appetizer, fried white fish platter, and a seafood combo platter. Everything was perfectly seasoned and had us munching all the way back home. Even our 1.5 year old enjoyed the food and he's at the picky eater stage. I usually take pictures but none of the food made it home. My husband (not even close to a yelper) told me to make sure I give them a good review so that says A LOT! read more

The BEST place to get crabs shrimp and any fish! Helpful and friendly staff! My new go-to place!! Must go!

The best place in the area to get steamed or live crabs to-go. These fellas (locally owned/operated) used to have a truck business out by Lee Airport and with enough patronage from folks like myself they managed to get a storefront. They also boast great seafood including ONLY Gulf caught shrimp (none of those asian farmed critters). I've only had fried oysters (which were very good actually) off their general menu and would venture to guess that most of their items (nearly all go in and out of a fryer) are unremarkable as cooking isn't really their gig. Fresh seafood and crabs are the deal with this place and they treat regulars very well - I've had an extra dozen crabs dropped on me more than once. One of my very few five star reviews - they're listed under CRABS on my cell... ;) read more

I am born and raised in Edgewater so for me to buy crabs goes against the boy in me with chicken necks and a net. Now that I am older (and less patient) I buy my crabs from here. I only buy live crabs but I can honestly say not once have I steamed the crabs from here and been disappointed. Definitely not the cheapest place but great quality every time. The post about being a vegetarian and not liking the mozzarella sticks here....too funny....hello it's a crab shack. read more

Ordered crabs and shrimp for a 91 year old's birthday. I asked for only 6 crabs to be cooked without spice for her. When we picked up the crabs, I asked if that was done, was told yes. I was so happy! I asked if the other crabs were spiced, as told yes. Still happy! I should have checked. So disappointed to get home and find ALL the crabs were without spices. I had family in from three other states, all looking forward to a Maryland Crab party. We ate them, but it was not the same. It would have been so easy for them to check, or to just tell me the truth. Shrimp were delicious, and prices were fair. But customer service was disappointing. read more

After the Edgewater location of Annapolis Seafood closed down, this was and is the only local place in town for fish and shellfish (besides the big grocery stores) And I'm glad that they are here. Little neck clams that I have been buying recently are excellent. All open when I saute them in clam stock and wine to add to my chowder. Open = fresh. Gulf shrimp are always available and are very good. Lump crab cakes are quite good as well. All in all a great local establishment. read more

We have not bought crabs, but have bought crab meat, fish, seaweed salad and fresh clams here. They do not have the largest selection, but what they have is reasonably priced and fresh and delicious. And the staff is SO friendly! We love this place! read more

Lived in Edgewater area all my life and have eaten crabs at many different places. Without question Chesapeake Seafood tops them all! I love crabs but have never been a fan of crab cakes until I tried one of theirs. It was absolutely delicious. You won't find better seafood anywhere. read more

Best crab cake around. Consider myself a crab cake afficienado and it's ranks no. 1 ahead of my other top-rated favorites, Kentmorr Marina in Stevensville and South County Cafe in Deale. Can be broiled in the oven or pan fried. read more

They have a great collection of local seafood, I love the crab dip and I can get a fresh Rockfish. Everything was fresh, the only thing that I did not like the place has a funky smell. read more
