If I could give six stars, I would! I had the best crab of my life today at Captain Mac's. Just the…read morenight before, we had a great crab dinner at another OC restaurant and gave them five stars--but this was on another level. We ordered steamed large crabs; it was juicy, and unbelievably sweet--you could taste the freshness. You break the claws and the juice literally drips out--so good. The oysters? Also insanely fresh. Just wow. The service was excellent as well. While it's not a full-service restaurant, the staff were incredibly friendly. They even welcomed my dog on the outdoor patio and brought him a bowl of ice water. The owner was kind and shared that everything is fresh, caught daily, and made to order--which explains the wait time for the steamed crabs and also what sets them apart from other places. I'll absolutely be back the next time I'm in the area and highly recommend it to anyone who truly appreciates top-quality seafood.

I was so excited for fresh fish to order at the beach. The selection is endless, the type of fish…read moreoffered is plentiful, and the kids menu is great! The casual seating and plenty of shaded outdoor space is a huge draw too! It's such a nice casual counter service, perfect for a family dinner after a beach day. However, I felt like the portions are cheap and the flavor is severely lacking. I think they cook everything and then add seasoning after cooking instead of cooking with it. I was chocking on tons of dry seasoning. With the amount of seasoning, it also lacked salt, so even though it had tons of seasoning, it still seemed bland. It was unreal. I won't be returning, but for cracking crabs and having something else to order for the non crab people at the table, it a good choice. I would not choose this place for getting a fish dish.

Don't get me wrong! You will get good crabs for $39 but not as sweet, meaty, and heavy big blue crabs like jumbo crabs! Don't forget to get some corns to go with that melted butter. Btw, crab deviled eggs are delicious! Service is great! Very welcoming. This place is a grab & go kind of place. You can sit outside. They have outdoor seating available.

You will need to be prepared to wait in the summer, and Fenwick Island is a little particular so you won't be able to enjoy a beverage outside while you're waiting, but none of that changes the fact it's worth the wait. I love oysters and this place does them right. Their SoDel Hot sauce is perfect for oysters with just the right amount of horseradish and hotness and flavor. They make excellent cocktails, which is always an important part of my dining experience. Decent selection of local beers doesn't hurt either. Even though I've only been there 4 to 5 times, we usually share entrées amongst the table so I probably had 10 to 15 items on the menu. While some of them rotate, none of them have disappointed. If you live there, are on vacation there, or just driving through, you need to stop and enjoy one of the best seafood meals ever
