Okay so this is going to be the first half of my experience. "0" stars after ordering a dozen and a half XL's this past Saturday we had the worst possible experience as we got some of the soggiest, unfresh crabs from any place that we've ever gotten them. They were a good size and warm when we picked them up. We were supposedly getting a good deal for them. On the drive home (30 min away), the brown paper bag they put them in was leaking from the bottom and I got a bad feeling. As we got home and began to chow down, basically every large, heavy crab was filled with water and the meat was soggy and grey in color. As you removed the claws there would be ounces of water dripping out. The body of the crab barely had any meat and it was grey and soggy, no sign of any yellow "mustard." Made me think these were a day or two old steamed crabs that were reheated. Either that or they were boiled, with all that water coming out.
So the other half of my review will be published next week as thankfully, the owners agreed to replace them all and we decided we'd get the replacements next weekend Saturday. Then I will be able re-review these guys. We've gotten crabs from these guys in the past and they usually are pretty good just once in a while a few might be smaller than what you order. They do sometimes put in some that are larger than you ordered. This particular time I was extremely disappointed because I feel that if these guys are experts at what they do, they should have known what kind of crabs they were giving us. Hopefully, they don't just unload a bad batch of crabs purposely, to unsuspecting customers thinking they won't get any complaints. This time it was impossible not to call them back and complain about them. Hopefully, they will redeem themselves and I will continue to come back. Otherwise, I will not. Will drive an hour to Captain White's as he does also have great deals on crabs and they steam them right in front of you and you see the whole process. Curbside folks will go to the back and bring out your order and you're left wondering how fresh are they and how long ago they were steamed.
EDIT: So after getting the replacements, all is well as we thoroughly enjoyed the crabs this 2nd time around. Thank you Curbside Crabs for making it right! read more
