Definitely an out of the way stop if you're from the Seattle area like us, but this is a non negotiable stop for my boyfriend and I every time we come down to the coast. You cannot beat their oyster shooter prices. Gorgeous scenery overlooking Willipa bay. This trip we got some extra goodies, salmon candy and a salmon bagel spread. I'm still riding off the high from that delicious bagel (which by the way had a perfect caper ratio). Service was cozy, very casual and of course extremely nice. I definitely will be back! read more

I came here today with my friend because I heard so many wonderful things about this place. It is a beautiful blue building sitting on the tips edge of Tokeland with a beautiful background. Inside, they have a great little store with hand crafters items, crackers, different types of memorabilia and souvenirs. Definitely something for everyone! They have a shop and kitchen where they have a menu with delicious seafood items for different parts of the day such as breakfast, and lunch items. The two ladies working were so very kind and offering options so we could get our seafood home safely and they provided us with ice! I got Willapa Bay oyster shooter which was cold, sweet and delicious. I also got a small cup of their clam chowder which definitely hit the spot on a cold, wet day. I will definitely be back! read more

First time coming here! Fresh crab. We did a pound per day that we stayed in Tokeland. Nicely organized and well-kept building. Friendly ladies at the register. read more

What a lovely spot to grab fresh or canned Dungeness Crab, oyster, shrimp and more...right from our own WA shore. There are a few tables, so you can take advantage of their "Happy HOur," and take the load off. It's a lovely location in Tokeland, right next to the marina, so you know the seafood is fresh. Highly recommend read more

Been going here for years, the new shop is really nice, great FRESH seafood, canned salmon, crab etc and a cute gift shop to boot. Employees are always helpful and friendly, great all around service. Ambiance, right on willapa bay, literally feet from boat to to shop, can't get fresher than that. Must stop if traveling between Raymond and west port. read more

Please Note: Located one mile up road from their previous location (see sign on right side of road when driving). I used Maps for IPhone and encountered this error myself so just a heads up! Now let's get down to the claw of this: Nelson's crab doubles as a gift shop and a place to get fresh clam chowder (hot!). Simply put, what more could one want? Situated right off a beautiful marina overlooking the clear water which is bountiful of fish and other shellfish. The place has two levels (though I didn't venture up to the second floor this time). There are places to sit by the window if you want to overlook the marina or enjoy your food in the comfort of the establishment. The shirts have tribal influence and even have some really good ones, though I won't spoil it for you it's best to go their yourself. Overall a very enjoyable experience where I will be returning, though I just wished that the price per pound of crab ($28!) is a little expensive in my opinion. read more

Nelson Crab - as fresh as it gets, I love the bay shrimp & my wife loved the Dungeness Crab... - Seafood Markets Near Me - Tokeland, Washington

My wife and I stopped into Nelson's while road-tripping to Long Beach. Inside one will notice the abundance of natural light. Happy Hour is offered daily from 3pm-5pm. During happy hour espresso's are $1 off. Nelson's offers an espresso bar, a deli bar, gift shop with fun and unique wares and canned seafood, etc... My wife and I shared a cup of Clam Chowder for $2.99. The chowder was served in a Styrofoam bowl with plastic spoons (boo) even though we ate on site. Neither one of us cared for the chowder. The chowder was flavorless and thin. We did enjoy the view while eating our chowder though. We purchased some crab dip (about 1 cup) for $7.99. We both ate the crab dip on crackers once we arrived at our destination. The crab dip was tasty. We also purchased a can of Dungeness Crab (6oz) for $13.50 and a can of Habanero Hots Smoked Oysters (3oz) from Ekone Oyster for $5. We haven't tried either product yet. Overall, the staff was friendly and Nelson's is a nice place to stop into to peruse their fun wares and sample/purchase local fresh and/or canned seafood. read more

Love love love Nelson Crab! We get smoked salmon dip as well as crab dip when available. They can seafood too which is great so I'm often getting fresh crab (whole cooked or ready-to-eat sold by 1/2 and full pound) as well as a 6-pack of canned Dungeness Crab and Albacore tuna. Once you've had the good stuff, you won't want to go back to mass-produced store-brands. Service is always friendly and welcoming...and very helpful! Last time I got a couple fresh whole crab and they cleaned them for me. I also love that they feature local artists in their gift shop. I've found many unique items and there's always something new to see and appreciate! read more

Went back for coffee a few weeks ago, it was someone else who made it and it wasn't good at all, unfortunately. I ordered the same drink - Iced Americano with heavy cream read more

Hidden at the end of the road in Tokeland, this place doesn't even show up on GPS. Find it. Freshest crab,tako,shrimp and little dollar oyster shooters. A few outdoor tables, so there is somewhere to eat during covid. Absolutely first rate. read more

Very cute unexpected gift shop with local artists and fresh sea food. Totally worth the drive out

Some of the best canned tuna I've enjoyed. Single line pole caught, sustainable fish. Just delicious for all my winter casseroles and melts. P.s. the crab and smoked oysters are pretty darned good too. Love the new spot at the Tokeland marina. They were at the "porch" last time I was up here. read more

Cool place to grab some seafood if you're driving up or down the coast and passing by Tokeland. Selection of canned seafood was good, and they have crab cocktail, oysters, and other things in single servings or quantity for you to enjoy immediately or at a later time. Cool place to get some uniques products in their little shop. There's a nice rock breakwater along the road to sit on, eat your seafood, look at the ocean, and reflect on what in the heck you are doing in Tokeland. Happy travels! read more

Cute, well-stocked store with excellent service. Its seafood product selections are amazing!

Great place to stop if you're traveling the 105. It's all the way at the end of the road, at the marina, which is very small and scenic, much different than the huge marina in Westport. It's both a gift shop and seafood counter, with both cold and hot items. Staff was very friendly but things really got slowed down with orders for espresso. Could use another person to help out. Waited 15 minutes for the folks in front of me to get a half dozen different coffee drinks. Everything is just out of Willapa Bay. Tried a couple oyster shooters and the Dungeness crab cocktail. Both were fresh and delicious. Got a jar of clam chowder to take home. read more

This was EXACTLY what we wanted for lunch! FRESH crabmeat with their Secret Sauce and a couple of bowls of chowder. The chowder was a little thin but flavorful. The crab meat was wonderful! Sweet and firm and ready to eat! There are two picnic tables out front for your dining pleasure! read more

We stopped into Nelson Crab on July 14th and purchased two crabs for $24.60 to have for dinner at home that evening. When we started cracking crab we noticed a pungent smell coming from the crabs. Upon opening the crabs we found the meat was rotten and has the consistency of gelatin. We were sold something completely inedible. On Monday I called and explained it to the clerk. She stated they would replace the crab if we drove back , about 3 hours. I politely asked for a refund and she appeared to take down my information on my credit card. She assured me I would get a refund. That was three weeks ago and nothing.I wrote the business again and mentioned I hated to write a bad review but again no response. So if you are ever in Tokeland and want rotten crab with bad service, you know where to go. My next letter is going to the health department. read more

Salmon chowder was yummy! Loved the spices but didn't overwhelm the taste of the smoked salmon. Chef Edwin you rock and I'm going to see if I can order more!! read more

Nelson crab keeps a little seafood stand open on the Tokeland peninsula, it's farmers-market style, with fresh crab, canned seafoods, and whatever else happens to be fresh that weekend. The facilities are very minimal, just a shack outside of the crab processing plant. But great for a quick crab cocktail or to pick up some fresh shellfish for dinner. They also ship shelled and unshelled crab anywhere in the US. I have sent crab off to family and its always a welcome gift. If you're making crab cakes, come here to pick up shelled crab, its much easier than trying to buy crab whole and shell them. read more

My daughter and I make an effort to spend a few days every year in the Grayland/Tokeland area, and we ALWAYS make a stop or 2 at the Nelson Crab place. We buy a little tub of fresh crab to dump into the chowder and we sit out on the picnic table and enjoy! We love this area for the peace and quiet, and the beautiful beach area that is nearly deserted most of the time. If you DO go to Tokeland, make sure you stop in here! read more

Great seafood at a fair price. My husband loved the razor clam pepperoni. Nice lady in the store to answer all our questions. read more

In the Westport area to fish albacore. Wanted seafood and looked at a few than heard of Nelson crab. New facilities. Long time family operation. Excellent crab. Also got fresh oysters, probably the plumpest I have ever had and this is in July. They have canned and smoked fish also. The weather has been bad so the commercial fishing boats didn't go out so few fresh salmon anywhere. So be aware the weather may alter what is available. Will be back for more read more

Oh, delicious crab, smoked salmon, clam chowder, and jalapeño tuna... you so crazy...

Great fresh seafood. Maybe the best in the entire area (it was during my visit to the greater Westport area). Worth the short trip from Westport. We got fresh cod fillets and Dungeness crab which was caught and cook just hours before we bought and we opted to have the crab cleaned at no extra charge. read more

I worked , well played while my Aunt Artice Hadden worked at the Cannery way back when. She sat me in a seat tied it to a beam and cracked crab for the Nelsons. So you could say I have been a fan of this amazing company from my early youth. I attended Ocosta High School with Vickie and my parents were friends with the Nelsons. How times, the business and landscape have changed in Tokeland, but this amazing cannery still produces the best seafood that one can buy. In person or to be shipped, well now I just sound like a salesperson, but seriously folks, Nelson's of old or Nelson's of a new location can only keep rocking on. My Mother ordered canned goods for us every year for Christmas and being from now Sacramento, California, we Cherish every can as if it were gold. Dave Travis read more

So disappointed with this place and having to leave such a negative review. We were looking for a place to get some fresh cooked whole Dungeness crab. We were staying near Westport but made the drive down to Tokeland because we thought we might get the crabs here. Boy were we wrong. We bought two crabs. I did not ask them to clean it as I like the stuff in the shell. The crab meat had no flavor whatsoever. The meat had a mushy consistency that suggests either the crab was not cooked immediately after being caught or had been cooked and sitting around awhile. One of the claws even had a spoiled odor. We didn't even eat all of it and had to discard it. Such a shame. The shop itself has a nice and charming interior. But we came for the seafood and in this respect they did not deliver. read more

Please note that we had a terrible experience at Nelson Crab on 2/20/18. Even though we were the only patrons in the store at the time we were unfortunately visiting, the staff were inattentive and unpleasant. After we left to return to our camping trailer in Westport, we discovered that the woman behind the cash register had hidden the fact that she sold us two small crabs, one of which had completely withered and inedible claws and legs. We would recommend careful inspection of any seafood purchase at this store. It was very, very disappointing and upsetting to be so blatantly cheated during what we had hoped would be a great part of our trek to the Washington coast! We have been buying and enjoying crab for almost 70 years and have never before had an experience as negative as this! Carolyn H read more
