Dungeness Crabs
Carla R.

I've been to this place a few times previously and have had steamed crabs and steamed shrimp here before. This is not a place you visit to soak in the ambiance and the wonderful aroma of seafood. It's smelly, cold and ugly inside. In all fairness, this review is primarily based on the seafood - the prices and the appearance/taste/freshness as it's considered to be a seafood market and most seafood markets aren't very pretty. Fortunately with this place, it's basically in and out - thanks to their quick service. I've ordered steamed crabs from them before. The employees tend to be heavy-handed on the seasoning so I found the crabs to be way too salty for that reason. After that, I've asked that the seasoning be light and I've found it's still a bit over seasoned. Last time I was there I got steamed shrimp and asked for them to be lightly seasoned. The shrimp was way over seasoned AND it was tough because it was overcooked. I decided to give them another try. This time I decided I don't want them seasoning my shrimp at all so I asked for no seasoning on the jumbo shrimp I ordered and hoped the shrimp wouldn't be overcooked. After tasting the shrimp, I must say it was very good. Even though it had no seasoning as I requested, the shrimp was plump, juicy and full of flavor. I noticed that most of the shrimp appeared to be "large" in size, certainly an issue when I ordered jumbo. Only a few pieces were actually jumbo though...very disappointing when I paid extra to have the largest size shrimp. The shrimp was not over steamed (overcooked) this time and for that I'm grateful although steaming seafood should not be hit or miss every time I come here. I would definitely come back and order more shrimp and crab legs - lightly steamed and no seasoning as I can always add my own seasoning when I get home. The seafood prices appeared to be pretty good. The seafood was fresh and tasty. I would come back and I would certainly recommend.

Easy pickup and very knowledgeable about crabs. The crabs were pretty good, not large. A bit pricey at$30 a dozen. They do steam them after you order and wait. Pretty quick.

Not med crabs!

Yesterday I paid $30 a dozen and I brought 2 dozen for what was supposed to be medium female crabs but what I got was one medium crab and the rest were baby crabs! What a disappointment!

Bushel  *10 Dozen* medium sized crab, dzn steamed clams on the half shell and a pd of steamed crawfish.

Been going here ever since I can remember. Good quick service, decent prices, knowledgeable and helpful staff. The crab are always just right. The seasoning is right on point for myself. A bit spicy and salty, nothing that a good beer, water or juice can't handle. Especially if you are having quite a few at a time. Enjoy! Oh and they are also excellent if you have a seafood party, thank me later ;)

I had to go check out The Crab Shack. They steam the seafood for you and season it. I prefer to have no old bay season on my crablegs as someone hand is real heavy. Their prices are reasonable and it makes for a quick meal when you can pick up, crablegs, crawfish, blue crabs and seafood salad and steam corn. OMG!! Dont forget to purchase some garlic butter its banging. You have a choice of clusters and legs and they have big bundles that can run you $ 60.00 . Overall I will definately return to The Crab Shack to get my crablegs fix so when your in downtown Newark check out The Crab Shack.

This is not female crabs ... what I ordered.... It's male not what I ordered!!!!!!!

At this place you have to double check your order. What you ask for seems is not what you going to get. I prefer live I don't like their seasoning it's to spicy.

See all

The seasoning, which I suspect has some cinnamon is an absolute delicious combination with their blue crabs.
