3.65 lbs of wild salmon from The Shellfish Co seafood market! YUM!
Ellen D.

The building that houses The Shellfish Co (a seafood market) also contains The Back Deck (a restaurant / bar out on the back deck of the market). FYI: Bubba's Seafood Restaurant & Crabhouse is NEXT DOOR to The Shellfish Co / The Back Deck. They all have the same owner, but Bubba's has a different menu than The Back Deck and The Shellfish Co is a seafood market. Just to clarify! This review is about The Shellfish Co. The market has an array of fresh seafood available for purchase in large or small quantities. Recently we've started buying a lot of their wild salmon. We used to buy our salmon from a market in Hilltop, but we've found that the salmon from The Shellfish Co is noticeably tastier & ridiculously fresh. Salmon has a tendency to be a bit fishy (in my opinion), but NOT this salmon! The Shellfish Co seafood market also sells wine & other gifty items. You can buy wine from the market & take it out on the deck to drink/dine at The Back Deck restaurant for a $10 corking fee.

I picked this place for my B-Day cause it's like a family to us! You can never go wrong- ocean, boats and great food! Stuff and super friendly and very attentive, place just has this great vibe and we come here every weekend! I was happy to share my B-Day with this crowd! It's very picturesque place if you like water and boats I love their Oysters- always fresh and sooo good! It think it's the best place for fresh seafood in Virginia Beach!

My view^_*

It's a shame this place has zero customer service. I totally understand the busy scenario but to be ignored by the server and waiting for 10 minutes is not a joke at all. What a waste of time...the view is absolutely stunning though!!!

Sorting fish
Q L.

Come in the morning and watch them sort the fish from the boat. Buy fish at wholesale prices. Today I got croacker, spot, butterfish and red snapper.

Comparison between a bad crab and a fresh one, both of which the shellfish company insisted were fresh catch of the day.

Terrible customer service, even worse crabs. While visiting a family friend at Virginia Beach, I was introduced this place. We called ahead and examined the fish and crabs before purchasing. I trusted the Shellfish Company to sell fresh catch of the day, as they say so. HOWEVER, while I was inside paying for $60 worth of crabs, they mixed in rotten, stinky crabs. Because I live 3 hours away, I even purchased a styrofoam box and ice, only to find out at home that approximately 2/3 of the crabs were rotten bad. I opened every crab and most of them were terrible to the point of being inedible. I called The Shellfish company and after talking to 5 people, they insisted that the car ride is what must have made them go bad. Then how come 1/3 of the crabs were super fresh and alive?? Shouldn't they have all gone bad then?? In their styrofoam iced box in an AC'ed car?? The person I talked to, even after seeing pictures, insisted that everything was fresh catch of the day. He said they didn't look right, but that he could not do anything because the crabs are final sale. Shouldn't FRESH produce be final sale? The Shellfish Company sold rotten, inedible crabs to a customer that trusted their word for fresh seafood. I will not be returning.

Got a bushel of crabs and some squid, fresh off the boat! Make sure you walk over to the side to get the catch of the day!

If you want fresh off of the boat, heavy blue crab at a great price, then look no further.
