We went to Seaside Fish House on New Year's Eve for a casual dinner, and we had a great experience…read more We were seated right away, and the staff gave us a heads-up early on that the food might take slightly longer because they were so busy. I always appreciate when a business gives me insight like this. We promptly received our drinks and were informed of the specials, which all sounded delicious. We put in our order, and we barely noticed a delay in our food coming out. (But nonetheless we appreciated the heads-up!) I had the short ribs, and they were incredible. They were falling off of my fork because they were so tender! The mashed potatoes served with them were also great. The rest of our party ordered seafood, and everyone in the group raved about how good their dishes were. My only regret was that none of us saved room for dessert! Something that also truly stuck out to me: one of the managers noticed my grandma was cold and adjusted the temperature in the room in which we were seated. I know this isn't standard practice at restaurants, but I can't say enough how much it meant to us that the staff paid so much attention to us. Seaside Fish House is DEFINITELY on my permanent list of favorite places in Delaware now.

It's hard sometimes being the non-crab person at an AYCE crab feast. At some places, the menu…read moreincludes only fried apps or fried or highly sauced entrees. But I was able to find an entree here that was delicious, filling and fairly (depending on your choice of sides) healthful. First, the crabs. The place is crowded. We waited about 30 minutes outside (alternative is the inside bar) and got a table. We ordered our meals and within three minutes, my partner had a tray of 6 nice-size blue crabs in front of them. The sides (the AYCE comes with fries, hush puppies and cole slaw) came a few minutes later. My entree - grilled chicken breast with 2 sides - came a few minutes later. Two large moist breasts, fries, veggies (veggies add $2) and I ordered a third side - cole slaw for extra $2.95. If you are a non AYCE crab person like me, you understand the need to pace yourself during your meal - hence, the extra side. : ) I really enjoyed my meal and my partner the crabs. The service was exceptional - both water glasses and refilling those crab orders. My partner didn't have to ask for crab refills. Before they were done with one order, the server was ready with more to add to the platter. The server was very pleasant and seemed to know most of the customers in the place. There's an enthusiasm and positive vibe here that is really great. An excellent meal and overall good experience. And that's speaking as a non-crab person!

Tried Surfing Crab for the first time today. We got there at 3:45 on Sunday. The bar was completely…read moreempty so we sat there. I prefer bar sitting so I was very happy about it As soon as we sat down our server, Kyle, almost immediately came over and attended to us. He was great offered appropriate suggestions and gave helpful hints. One thing we learned was that it's better to reserve/order your crab beforehand. Especially during summer peak season. Since we didn't know (and therefore didn't order in advance, we had to settle the select size (12 ) of crab. Select is the smallest size, then medium, large and extra large. Next time we go there we'll order ahead. The 12 crab was MORE than enough for two people. We had deviled eggs and a half poumd of shrimp for appetizers. We had 4 beers, 2 cocktails and a dozen select size (small) crab. The bill was under 200 before tip. All in all I would recommend Surfing Crab. It's super crowded during the tourist season so be ready for a wait depending on the time you get there. Once you're in, you'll totally enjoy yourself. Very laid back and chill. You might even see the owners working with everyone else..

Before gratuity, the total came out to $102, which was lowered to $52 after using my $50 gift card letter. Chandra gave us great service once again. We returned once more with my son and his wife for happy hour at the bar. For this trip, my lobster roll came with a noticeably smaller portion of lobster compared to previous times. The bill prior to tip was $109. Applying my $50 gift letter brought the balance down to $59. As usual, Chandra took great care of us. We all agreed that we'll definitely keep returning for lunch, happy hour, or dinner.

Big Fish does take limited reservations, but if you're going without -- at peak hours -- during peak season -- be prepared to wait! I love coming here for a big lunch on a weekday when the scene is much quieter. The quality of the food is excellent. However, the portions can be mercurial. I know that not every swordfish steak or scallop is the same size, but sometimes I'm stuffed and other times I'm left a little hungry. But I'm never disappointed by the peanut butter pie! Make sure to save room and plan to share with your fellow diners because this slice of pie packs a punch! Ambiance is casual with paper on the tables where the servers write their names and large marine life models hanging from the ceilings and walls. Service could be a bit more attentive on the multiple times I've been there -- I've frequently been left needing a refill on my water or cola -- especially after a dehydrating day at the beach.

They texted us and the text provided a wait list showing what place we were in the queue, and much was pretty nice. For the appetizer, we got the Crab Spinach Dip, which was odd in and of itself because the menu says it has artichokes but doesn't mention spinach. It came with chips and was very tasty. I must admit I was a little disappointed in the portion. The bowl of dip was not full and while the chips did cover the amount of dip, it wasn't very much. For dinner, I got the Fish & Chips, Fries and Cole Slaw. It wasn't bad. Not the best I've ever had, but not bad. I'd probably try something else next time. My wife got the Crab Imperial, which was very good. She also got a Bloody Mary to go with her meal. My son got the Big Shrimp with Saffron rice and broccoli, which was very good. Our friend got the Big Chicken with what looked like pureed Yams. He thought it was decent. The highlight was the dessert, which was the Double Chocolate Cake and a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream. We really enjoyed it. Our wait staff did a decent job as well. We will definitely be back.

From the limp "greeting" at the host stand to the waitress's freestyle interpretation of service, the evening never rose above mediocrity, despite the luxury‑pricing suggesting it might. I ordered the crab spaghetti, lured in by the promise of "whole crabs." What arrived was a thin red broth with a small quartered crab perched on top like a sad garnish. The dissolved, overcooked crab remnants floating in the bowl had all the flavor of warm tap water. And without proper utensils, the "whole crab" was more of a decorative warning than an edible component. My wife had the seafood stew. She enjoyed the toast. For the most expensive bad meal I've ever had, Bluecoast certainly delivered -- just not in the way anyone would hope.
