Our recent visit to Annapolis and Rehoboth Beach turned out to be primarily a crabfest of steamed blue crabs wherever we went. The absolute highlight of the experience was the stop at Copp's Seafood in Lewes, Delaware, just outside Rehoboth. We were looking to buy fresh crabs to take home and we found the right place. Copp's is a 50 year old red shack off the beaten path, with gravel parking lot and antique signs. The shop has a large refrigerated display case and lots of accessories for a fish oriented meal. The atmosphere was enough to make the time there worthwhile. We were introduced to Lisa Olivieri, an owner of the business and sales impresario extraordinaire. She and her fiancée were new owners, but had worked with the Copp family for years. Committed to maintaining the authenticity of the enterprise, they continued to purvey the best available inventory and carry forward with the rich ethos of dealing in only premium wares. We asked about the blue crabs in the house, and Lisa went to the back of the building to see what she had. She informed us there were a dozen and a half "Super" sized Blues, and she showed us one hanging by a claw to her thick red rubber glove. Lively fellow, Mr. Blue. She surprised us by offering to steam our purchase for no extra charge. Impressed by the catch and the generosity, we bought 12 initially, but came back minutes later to secure the last half dozen. All the while Lisa kept smiling and educating us about life as a fish monger after success in high tech sales. As she modestly said, "I can sell anything, why not crabs?" And, so, her new career commenced. Part of the buy included identify the spices and spice level we desired. She had many options and selected the right one for us - somewhat spicy, but not too salty. We waited outside while the beautiful blue beasts were turned rusted red by the steam heat. These were the best crabs we have eaten in a long time. The price, while cher, was less than any restaurant we visited around the Chesapeake. Thoroughly enjoyable. Noble sacrifice. Two and a half hour drive from Bucks, we agree that a return trip when crabs were desired was the only way to assure apex experience and flavor. This joint is a keeper! Five Happy Blue Crab Stars for Lisa and Copp's. None better.

Best sea scallops and salmon that we had in a long time. My 6 year grandson is now in love with salmon.

We were planning a family gathering in Lewes over the Labor Day weekend, so we ordered a bushel of…read moreextra-large crabs online on Thursday and also called to confirm our order. Since we weren't arriving until Saturday afternoon, we were a little worried about whether the crabs would still be alive when we picked them up. The sellers went above and beyond. They kept the crabs in their truck for us and carefully made sure that every crab we received was alive and the right size. We were so impressed by their service! These were, without a doubt, the freshest and most delicious crabs we've ever had. We will definitely be back next time we're in Lewes!

We were in Rehoboth Beach for a few days of R&R. We looked everywhere for blue crabs, but found out…read morethat the local Maryland blue crab season was over at the end of November and most of the crab shacks were either closed or only open a short time each week to sell whatever local fish were available. We saw a "Crabs" sign on the Coastal Highway in the parking lot of a BP gas station and called the phone number. I spoke with a gentleman who said he would be selling North Carolina Blues the next day. We decided to check it out. We drove over in the late morning to see what was what. The trucks were open and there were bushels of blue crab available for purchase. They were all smaller than what we had been able to get last year out of the Chesapeake, but we expected that. They were mostly large/medium sized or smaller, but looked healthy. Prices were negotiable, starting at $50 for a dozen, but quickly dropping to $80 for 40 steamed on site in about 20 minutes. We struck that deal and settled into our car to await the finished product. It was cold and lightly snowing, but these folks got the job done and were bagging the crabs as we went over to complete the transaction. Smelled good and their warmth was a comfort to our hands. Apparently, we should have counted how many we actually received because when we arrived home, the count was 37, not forty. I recalled seeing a few crabs on the ground, but didn't think they were ours. I'm still not sure, but we were short three and somewhat annoyed. Yet, the Blues had good taste both cracked open eaten by hand, and in our homemade crab soup. It was still a good price and I can accepted that a few fell out as the large shopping bags were being filled. Lesson learned - Come to Delaware/Maryland crab world during Blues Season and not have to worry about any of this. Three Blue Claws for the tasty adventure.

An Absolute Gem in Lewes! Lloyd's Market is the ultimate old-school, neighborhood grocery store. It…read morehas a wonderful, small-town charm that you just cannot find at big-box chains. Despite its compact size, the store is incredibly well-stocked with surprising specialty items like high-quality farmer's kefir, fresh buttermilk, and a great yogurt selection. Their produce section is fantastic, and I picked up some of the biggest, perfectly ripe avocados.You also cannot miss their deli counter--their rotisserie chicken and homemade side salads are top-tier. What truly makes this place special is the staff. They always hire great local high school kids who are exceptionally polite, hardworking, and helpful. It is wonderful to see a local business supporting the community's youth. Supporting this family-owned store is always a pleasure! I have a 14 y.o., if you ever need help!

Plus some fresh produce for grilling and it was all wonderful. It is a great little store, very small but pretty much has about anything you could need. The store was very well stocked and had lots of small containers of different types of salads and sides at decent prices. I like that they were small so I could choose a few to see which ones I like the best. They also take Apple Pay which is always a plus for me. They only have two check out lines but they have two people working both registers so it moved pretty quickly. Great store and worth a visit.
