This place was pretty great. I haven't been up north in over 2 decades and this was a good reminder of what I'm missing. They let my family stay after they closed and eat. Great crew and very kind. Highly recommend

CHEAP

Crawfish from a local seafood outlet who knew what I was looking for. Shout outs to Jason and Sid at Alex's Seafood Restaurant and Clam Bar in The New Castle Farmers Market.    For as far as they travelled, they were in good shape when they arrived. They purged in a couple hours and cooked up delicious!  Minimal straight tails.    I’m cooking down some of the best heads from the batch for soup and gumbo stock.

It's busy because it's inside of the farmers market. They always have a line but move quick. Also the prices are reasonable.

Stopped here in search of crab soup while visiting Wilmington. I must say it was amazing! The raw oysters were very good as well. I also had their fried clams which were also good. But the soup was so good I stopped back in for more to bring home from my visit to Delaware. Sadly I left it but I will for sure stop in on my next visit to Wilmington

Great place to get live crabs they also steam them for you as well reasonable prices and the crabs are very heavy lots of meat. The mediums are actually a nice size they cook up very good and their crab seasoning is also a must have. Will be returning next week to get my weekly fix of crabs 🦀 #crablover

What a hidden gem!!! This place was amazing from the minute we walked in, to the service, the food, our waitress and the environment. It's It's casual sports bar type feel, nothing fancy but don't let it fool you. Food is delicious. Some unique items on the menu as well such as fried frog legs and gator bites (cooked fried or blackened). The loaded crab fries are delicious! The value for all this food is just outstanding. Definitely will go back. Worth the stop.
