Ok here's my first review of 2026!! Here we go! I'm so happy that I moved from Woodbridge because…read moreI'm so close to the Wharf and all the lovely seafood it has to offer. I was a little nervous to see what would be left as I went around 3pm, but when I got there it didn't disappoint. The workers are so friendly and welcoming to help out a seafood lover like me! I wanted some blue crabs and shrimp to eat so I opted for the X-Large males a dozen ($89) and some X-Large shrimp to be steamed. I also made sure I grabbed some snow crabs and shrimp to go in my freezer to save for later seafood cravings. When I tell you the fisherman hooked me up! Ba...by he hooked me up! I bought a dozen and the "extras" he threw in were about 8 extra! I was like wow this is what I'm talking about custmer service above and beyond! As I waited for my deliciousness to be steamed to perfection I grabbed some corn and shrimp and clam chowders. And they were so tasty I can't wait to go back to get more. My seafood took about 30 mins to steam and I just took in the ambience of all the scenery of the wharf which is even when cold a great as I waited. You already know I will be back! Seafood is LIFE!

He laughed but I found nothing funny about holding my money waiting to see if I forgot my change so you could pocket it . Do you think I wouldn't remember getting $30 back?! I haven't been back since. It rubbed me the WRONG WAY. It was literally the STRANGEST exchange ever. I also spoke about it on Instagram the management saw my post and never addressed it so I won't spend money there anymore.

On the drive back from Chincoteague, we passed by a crab shack advertising half a bushel of crabs…read morefor like $60. That seeded the thought that resulted in a stop at Cranky Crab. We stop by to see what the price were, but Cranky Crab is a very small operation so we felt obliged to order. They definitely weren't as cheap, but the proprietor, "Biscuit" explained that was probably the price for the smaller crabs. The ones here were 7 or 8 inches across (#1s or extra large and very meaty males). We decide to get only a dozen and it took about 20 mins to get them steamed. While we were waiting, my 8 yo asks if he could see the equipment to which Biscuit obliges. He even gives my son a little popsicle from the freezer, which was much appreciated on a hot 90F summer day. He's a grandpa, so maybe that's why he's good with kids. With a nickname like Biscuit and a clean crew cut, I thought for sure he was in the military, but he is/was a firefighter and adopted his the nickname in honor of his dad. Overall, I'm glad we stopped by. The prices might be a bit big for some people, but so are the crabs. Stretch your dollar and save all the crab shells, bits and pieces to make a crab stock. Then use that for your next soup or stew.

The extra large crabs were $109 a dozen, so I grabbed a half dozen... and BABY... when I tell you those crabs did NOT disappoint!! They were BIG, heavy, and FULL! Not the prettiest things either--rusty, ugly little shells--but don't let that fool you. Honeyyyy, they were sweet, juicy, and packed with meat! I absolutely indulged with zero regrets. And let's talk about that butter I ordered on the side... whew! That just took everything over the top. Shoutout to the guys at Jesse Taylor--they did their thing! Great crabs, great flavor, and always worth the stop when I'm in the area. I'll definitely be back... even if it's just once a year! If you're nearby, go ahead and check them out--they're worth it, for real.

It's a gloomy Saturday, and because of the rain I stopped at a spot I normally don't visit since it…read morewas the closest option. I went up to a vendor and spoke to a young guy working there, but he just looked at me and didn't respond. I even asked, "Did I do something to you? Do you know me?" He mumbled something and walked away. What made the moment even sadder to me was that he was the only brown-skinned worker there, and as another brown-skinned person, it hurt feeling ignored and unwelcome by someone who looked like me. I understand everyone has off days and there are times people may not feel like coming to work, but when working with the public, customer service should still matter. A simple greeting and basic respect can really change a customer's experience.

I've been eating fish in DC since I was a little kid, but this was my first time ask Yelp to direct me to a spot in my hood. OCS was the closest place with the best reviews, so with my mom's advice to "make sure the place doesn't smell fishy, I headed right on over. First of all, no fishy smell and clean clean. Secondly, Nicholas helps you select the fish, so no strange outside hands on the fish. Great selections, great prices, and they had EVERYTHING I needed, right on down to the fish heads. They made sure everything was skinned and filleted and I was out of there fast fast. Nicholas is charming and his staff is efficient. Next time I need a bunch of fish, I'm definitely coming here!
