Most often will attend a new restaurant or hotel based on reviews or word of mouth. Reviews, hunger and a little time on our hands; wife and I traveled to Wild Country Seafood based on reviews and our love for seafood. As we ventured closer to the restaurant, we were excited that we would be close to the ocean. As we neared the neighborhood the streets narrowed as we would allow an oncoming vehicle to pass as we stayed close to curb before continuing. Entering Bay Shore drive, we realized it was a dead-end-street and thought our GPS had gotten us lost. Traveling to the end of the street, my plan was to U-turn back out; looked to my left and there was Wild Country Seafood. There were a few tables with benches at the end of what seemed to be a park where you can area. We were the first to arrive, so I parked about 3 feet away from the tables. As we entered Wild Country, there was a long table and a few stools and a fresh seafood case displaying various shell fish items. The greeting by the gentlemen in the store was strained; however we were there for food and not friendship. I ordered onion rings, chicken tenders and french fries, my wife ordered the shrimp and french fries basket; we selected a table and waited until our food arrived. Once our food was received, the waiter never returned and we had to go back into the establishment to get extra items. The texture of the food was beautiful but had no special flavor or spices added. It was a beautiful day which added to the drive that was taken from our location to Wild Country; however that trip will not be taken again to this establishment. Visited in July 2014.

Fresh of the boat...never wrote that before and meant it in such a positive way. The prepared food is good and the fresh seafood is excellent. The place reminds me of a shack in the islands where actual fishermen sell their daily catch. I guess that is because these guys are actual watermen that sell their fresh catch every day. This weekend we had our brother in law in town and this is his favorite spot in Annapolis. The Rockfish bites were great as usual. Fresh and lightly breaded. When I say "light", I mean "Light" and the kids (who don't eat fish) had chicken strips that were pretty good despite being prepackaged. The Oysters were also a big hit We had more than one round as they were that good. Service is friendly if not sparse. But that is part of the charm. I am getting hungry writing this so we may have to go down there tonight as well? Something to be aware of is that they don't sell any alcohol. That could be a killer for us but as we knew in advance we brought our own cooler and enjoyed the picnic tables and served ourselves our favorite beverages.

Really not sure how this place gets such good reviews... we usually try these hole in the wall places as they are usually excellent... however, unfortunately not here... ;-) The fish was thin, dry and tasted like it was previously frozen... the oysters were OK (not great) and the fries were straight out of a frozen bag.... the fish we ordered was rockfish as it was the only one they had that was locally caught - so not sure where all the other fish comes from... if this is the best they can do, I'm glad we didn't try anything else! Needless to say, we don't recommend, nor will we be coming back...

Four and a half stars. This place is a small hole in the wall in Eastport about half a mile from downtown Annapolis. We were specifically looking for a low key, super casual eatery that had outdoor seating to accommodate our dog and Wild Country was it. The seafood is delicious and fresh. We ordered a dozen oysters, crab cake platter, and the fish and chips. So much food! The crab cakes were very rich and oysters super succulent and huge! I like that it's a no frills spot and you get what you want. Will definitely come back again.
(5)Jaime G.
NOT OPEN DURING WINTER! Closed until March! FYI mostly outdoor seating, but it looks like if you are in for Oysters this is the place.
(3)Matt R.
Excellent! The definition of hole in the wall spot that has outstanding food. My family and I went in the early afternoon on a friday. There were 2 other couples eating at the outdoor only seating. We walked in, it's nothing special. A counter and some display fridges with shellfish and other goodies on show. We ordered a dozen of their HUGE oysters, fish (perch) n chips baskets, crab cake sammich and some homemade coleslaw. We went out and set up at a picnic table and the oysters arrived not 5 minutes later. These Fatties were just that. And tasty....oh man. These things were monstrous and so delectable. Mid way through the oysters our meals came out. Everything was fresh, made to order. The fried fish was off the chain. So fresh tasting. Perfectly cooked. Not greasy at all. And four nice chunks of perch was a good amount. The fries were fries. But they were done very well and tasted great. The crab cake sandwich was awesome. Rich, sweet, light, satisfying. It wasn't overdone with anything and fried lightly. It came on a kaiser roll with a couple of fresh, red ripe maters that played soooo well with the crab. The slaw I could've eaten a gallon of. Like nothing I've tasted before. Very tasty. I was putting it on everything we had and munchin it up. The ooooonly problem is the location. Literally stuck in a corner and it has space for 3-4 cars...which corresponds to the amount of tables they have. Its very tough navigate the old skinny eastport streets and this is no exception. I highly recommend this place, but try going off hours on a nice day. There doesn't need to be much excuse to go to Naptown on a nice day anyways.

We bought a 1/2 bushel of the medium crabs, and every single one was heavy, full and steamed to perfection. They had the best prices in town, $125, while other popular carry out establishments wanted upwards of $175 per bushel. The guys who run the place are super friendly and will give you their honest opinion on what size crabs to get. A few days later, I took my kids to have dinner outside and the guys who took care of us were very accommodating and nice. This little gem is an Eastport secret..... Great place overall!
(5)Brenda P.
Talk about your local dive! This is definitely a "locals" spot, which we found by searching Yelp! The food is sooooooo fresh, and quite tasty. There is no indoor seating, so if the weather is bad, you'll be eating in your car or back at the hotel. Hold your breath as you travel the extremely narrow roads to get back to this little gem by the bay, but it is definitely worth the fright! My favorite - the Crab Cake. WAYYYYY more crab than anything else. Absolutely divine!
(4)M. L.
The oysters were fantastic! Very meaty and very fresh. I had both the oysters on the half as well as the oyster sandwich. We also ordered a half dozen steamed crabs. Crabs were a bit small and all males, but fresh. FYI - they do add on an extra $10.00 fee if you dine-in. Basically they charge for steaming the crabs and adding old bay seasoning. I think the extra charge is a bit much, but if you are from out of town and you have nowhere else to eat the crabs, you really don't have much of a choice. The tables outside were comfortable - nice umbrella for shade. Service was good. The restaurant is kind of located in a neighborhood right by the water. I actually prefer a location like this because it's quiet. After your meal, you can take a stroll either along the dock or around the neighborhood. Can't wait to go back for more oysters!
(4)Yubing S.
Too much fried. And place is so small, outside table isn't nice expect the sunshine was good.
(1)Elana G.
The most ridiculous oysters I've eaten on the east coast. They're huge and delicious. Wow. They're the kind of oysters I would have dream about, if I ever dreamt of oysters. Everything is fresh. The crabs are really good, and the crab cake is even better, because you don't have to do the work to get the meat out of the crab. I love fried clams, and the ones here don't disappoint either. Overall excellent choice for seafood in Annapolis.
(5)Katie Y.
Hole-in-the-wall seafood shack with picnic benches outside to eat with incredibly good crab cakes! Jumbo lump, hearty portion, and deliciously fresh crab meat make these crab cakes superb. It's been a month since I've been here, and I still crave those crab cakes! I may have to make a special trip back up to Annapolis to eat them again soon.
(5)Kevin M.
The seafood is fresh, though fried is the preferred method of preparation, which I think is a shame for such nice seafood. Anyway, they do a good job frying the fish, scallops, shrimp, etc., so if that's your thing then this will hit the spot. The crab cakes are good - rich and almost all crab (if not 100%). not much seating - a few spots at a window bar inside and then some tiki-hut type things outside (odd for the mid-Atlantic; more a Florida thing?).
(3)Aaron R.
If you want fresh seafood in Annapolis this is about as fresh as it gets. There's a small ledge inside you can eat on, and several picnic tables outside. This is not a normal sit-down restaurant but a seafood shop that has a small menu. I ordered a dozen oysters harvested that morning and a Rock fish sandwich. I watched as they cut the fish fillet, breaded it, and fried it. The oysters were unbelievable and the Rock fish sandwich was awesome! You can also visit the maritime museum next door when you're done. I'll be back to try the fresh steamed crabs.
(5)M C.
Little local hideaway. 4 outside picnic tables. FRESH seafood. Go for the food, no fancy furnishing or fixtures. Our crabs were good.
(3)Julian A.
Stopped here randomly after looking for good local seafood during a road trip. It is a little out of the way in a residential neighborhood, but it was worth seeking out. We tried the combo platter and shrimp platter. All the seafood was super fresh and fried a perfect golden brown. No overcooked fish here just perfectly fried and moist shrimp, scallops, clams, fish etc. The cole slaw was delicious and a different recipe than what I've had before. I only regret not trying the whole crabs, but the crab cake was large and full of lump meat.
(5)Regina S.
Only outside seating in this tiny storefront that is located in a dead end alley in Eastport. No problem with that though. I really love places like this and we definitely enjoyed our meal here. Be advised winter hours are very restricted - Saturday and Sunday only. Make sense since Rockfish and oysters are about the only thing being fished now. We split the fried shrimp platter. They didn't have any coleslaw so the owner added 50% more shrimp to accompany the fistful of fries. I was definitely ok with that, but it sure would have been nice to have some creamy, crispy cabbage to round out the meal. My only disappointment was that the one description of this particular menu item was incorrect. I know most people probably don't care if their shrimp are butterflied or not, but I do. They are easier to eat, and there is more surface area for the crunchy coating. Nevertheless, they were delicious - fresh, lightly coated and amply sized. The fries were good too. Of course, in season, they offer local crab and their platters and baskets utilize calamari, chicken, shrimp, oysters, clams and fish. I definitely will come back when I am yearning for that seafood shack experience. Having lived in Boston, I miss those numerous hole-in-the-wall places that served fried clams and lobster rolls. Besides, we are always looking to support the local folks and local products.

Best crabs I've ever had in Annapolis hands down. I'm a resident who has been to cantlers and mikes 1,000 times and these crabs were the freshest largest and meatiest I've ever had. Pick these up and take them to your house for a crab picking party- also the clams were larger and fresher than anything you can get at cantlers, go here!
(5)Jake B.
The most amazing Oysters. The oysters were huge and delicious... the crab cakes were on point... not on the water.. but right around the corner... family spot. Bring kids and be ready to make a mess and dig in.
(5)Karen K.
A MUST eat at restaurant in Annapolis! I'm from the coast of NC and went to Annapolis on business. Of coarse I was looking for a taste of home. The first night I went to Mike's....a huge disappointment and tourist trap. Heavily breaded seafood that tasted like it was frozen and baked. However I'll give it an A+ for the view. Wild Country doesn't have the view but boy do they have the great food...and the water is just across the street so if you want to see it walk down before or after dinner. Wild Country Seafood is a "hole in the wall" restaurant/market so if you're looking for something fancy or to be served it's not for you. The seafood is lightly breaded, fried to perfection and tastes very fresh (probably because their own boats catch what they serve). The hushpuppy balls are crunchy but tender and the cole slaw has a little bit of a horseradish kick to it. Tables are outside with umbrellas which lend to the casual and homey feel. Don't miss this authentic seafood restaurant!
(5)Anita P.
Found this using yelp. Lots of locals walking in a out with large bags of what seemed like crabs. Super no frills but the freshest and tastiest. Meatiest crab cakes I've ever had. A real gem.
(5)Thomas A.
OUTSTANDING steamed crabs. Best in Annapolis. They use JO instead of Old Bay and they really make the crabs. These owners are Eastport Waterman. The go out and catch the crabs and then cook them for you. It does not get any better then that.
(5)A L.
I don't like to give this place 5 stars because it will just increase the traffic and make it more difficult to get a place to park. But the oysters are just excellent. large and juicy they fill up the entire shell. I've never had any small oysters here or under size. After a dozen of these I can hardly eat the delicious fried calamari. Also, the price is reasonable. Only down side is - they don't serve alcohol.
(5)Wendy M.
Wonderful place to get rockfish and crabs. The seafood is excellent and extremely reasonably priced. The best part is, it is local fisherman!
(5)Daniel O.
Friendly, laid-back staff and delicious, fresh seafood. Their hours change seasonally, and they are often not open past 7pm even in season, so be sure and go early. Also, be sure and BYOB if you so choose.
(5)Jaime H.
Best crabs I've had anywhere! We love this little hidden gem. The owners catch what they sell in the morning and everything is so fresh!
(5)Jen K.
This is a no frills seafood place tucked away in Annapolis. The broiled crab cakes--which have no filler and are gluten free--are probably the best I've ever had!!! The oysters and steamed crabs I got to try were just average, but I still had a great time. There is some counter seating inside and four picnic tables outside. Get there early because they don't keep too much in stock and sell out quickly!
(4)N P.
Cheap and delicious eats! A dozen huge, tasty oysters for $11.95. The crab cake was awesome too. Casual, hole-in-the-wall place that's perfect for lunch.
(5)Sally and Ralph T.
Best crab cakes we've eaten in Annapolis in 4 years of coming here. Big fat juicy oysters, too!! We will definitely come here again!
(5)Fiona E.
The food here is good...but the service is so bad..I waited for almost 2 hours for the crab!!!!!!
(1)William C.
The seafood is fresh from the boats and laid out for you to see in this no frills restaurant. There is something special about ordering your food as you see the cook grabbing a fresh rockfish from the display and realizing he is filleting it just for you. You can then take your food out to their parking lot picnic tables or even better walk half a block to a park and sit on a bench facing the chesapeake. Crabs when in season or shrimp are available with a very light, non-spicy batter or steamed. Rockfish and oyster are also similarly prepared crispy and hot. Prepared food is no frills in a foam clamshell but the draw is the freshness and taste. You can also pick up larger quantities raw and properly packed in ice.
(4)Sar B.
I really like this place. It's neat that the owners are out catching the crabs in the morning, and serve them to you right after-- it doesn't get any fresher! And sitting outside on a nice day is awesome, even if there's not much of a view. Overall though, if you want some awesome, fresh Old Bay crabs and an old-school crab shack ambiance, this place is great.
(4)Jeanna B.
These are the last commercial fishermen (I think) located in Eastport. They catch their own crabs, rockfish, oysters, grouper, and perch and serve it to you. Awesome food. Even though they have mostly fried choices, it's worth the indulgence.
(5)Matt C.
This place is great!!! Not only do they have the freshest seafood in town but they also make some killer sandwiches! I love getting their rockfish sandwich and walking around the corner to sit at a picnic table on the dock of the maritime museum.
(4)Kara H.
The food here is everything. Like, it's everything you're reading about and then some. The oysters tasted like the ocean, so fresh there almost was no taste. The crab cake was awesome and worth a try. The scallops, fresh and tender. The fish and chips had my husband in a dreamland, I had to force him to try anything else. The jumbo shrimp were so sweet and fresh they tasted like butter but I'm pretty sure there was no butter on them. This is not really a dine in establishment. We dined in but we arrived around opening and sat at the only two available bars tools. There is outdoor seating and we tried that at first. The tables are covered with umbrellas but given the location right off the water (no view but it's only stifled by homes in the waterfront) the flies were overbearing. Totally not the establishment's fault but worth noting.
(5)Amanda R.
The food was good, but several factors made the experience underwhelming. First, the restaurant is very difficult to find. It's tucked in a little side street near the maritime museum. We missed the turn at least twice. The restaurant itself is tiny. There is limited bar-type seating inside. Four or five large picnic tables are available outside. We visited on a mild day. There was a cool breeze coming of the Bay, so it was nice to sit outside. If it had been a typical hot and humid summer day, we probably would have skipped it entirely. The flies were ridiculous, but you really can't blame the restaurant for them. My husband and I both had the crab cake platter. The crab cakes were great. There was little to no filler in them. However, the portions were tiny and not worth the $48 we spent on the entire meal. Finally, the people who run the restaurant are not very friendly. The young girl who took our order barely made eye contact. When our food arrived, she left the baskets on the table without uttering a single word. It was off-putting, to say the very least. Although the food was good, the atmosphere and tiny portions keep me from visiting again. There are better places in Annapolis.
(2)Cherrelle L.
Nice quiet place to grab a quick bite after spending the day at Sandy Point or touring around Annapolis. The location is hidden, but don't let it fool you - The food is very good! Crab Cake Sandwich was good and came at a good price! The soft shell crab sandwich was also very good and CRUNCHY! Take advantage of the parking outside of the restaurant (if its not full) - not many spots are available.
(4)Gary H.
This place is awesome. I cannot believe we didn't find it until last weekend! It isn't a big place and the seats are outside but we found a nice shady bench. The food is freaking awesome and they seem to under charge their customers but I'm not going to complain! The area reminds me of being at the beach in Fenwick Island and it is steps from the Maritime museum. You can see the creek from the parking lot. There are not a lot of parking spots so don't be afraid to park on the street and walk a block. Carry out is a great option. Maybe we'll go there tonight and get some more fried oysters. Yum!!
(4)Tina H.
This place is pretty great, I had the crab cakes and, although I don't have much to compare them too, I thought they were pretty delicious. Nice and crispy on the outside. They came with coleslaw and fries which were also very good. The downside is the size of the place, there is very limited seating and if you want to sit inside it is very warm. Parking is also quite limited. However, even with these two small inconveniences I would highly recommend this place! Oh one last thing, it's very clean and the staff is very friendly and you can get uncooked fresh oysters and crabs to go if you want to cool at home!
(4)Kevin C.
I stopped in here one hot summer afternoon and picked up a plate of a dozen oysters. The outdoor area is on the side of a parking lot so there is not much to look at but if you're looking for a nice place to taken in the summer vibe in Annapolis while enjoying some fresh, reasonably priced seafood this is a good place. I knocked off one star because the guy at the counter was a little bit unfriendly.

Crab cake crawl championship finalist. It's my own competition really, but I think it'll catch on. I woke up this morning and said to my wife, "wife, load up the wagon and get the dog. We're going crab hunting!" Being as she gets sea-sick and I don't actually like to remove shells this clearly meant a more efficient type of hunt would take place. Yes, the first annual crab cake crawl championship. Armed with a score of Maryland top 10 lists we have set out to dominate the poly-legged crustaceans in their cup shaped form. Rolling into the tranquil spot just past the canoe launch we snagged a spot out front and the dog was quickly in the bay confusing the current challenge with duck hunting. Once we got her out of the water it was easy to get a spot at one of their outdoor picnic tables where her wet coat didn't bother anyone. Lightly crisp, delicate and delicious. The crab cakes are number 1 on the list so far. As an accessory we also had the soft shell crab which turned out to be an entire crab, fried...cool photos, unless you're a crab. And those ridiculously sized oysters, a solid sampler. Great spot; if definitely send people by to try it out.
(5)Sean H.
Went to this rest. over the Labor Day weekend, tried many dishes people recommended... Oysters (Patty's fatty), crab cake platter, fish & chips, fried clams and jumbo shrimps. Every food was so good, esp. the oysters! I usually don't like oysters but I fell in love with it immediately. Crab cakes were great as well, perhaps the best I've had in my life. Fish & chips were my wife's favorite. I'd give it 4.5 stars but no such an option (because we felt clams had too much flour and not much clams). They also gave us a piece of bread when we asked for it instead of fries, going the extra mile. We plan to go back soon.
(5)Zhen Y.
The restaurant closes at 7:00 pm, we arrived at 6:50, only fried staff left. Fried scallop, fried shrimp, and fries.And also, don't have expectation about customer service.
(3)Jenny C.
So happy to have found our go-to local seafood place in Annapolis! We had a delicious and fresh seafood dinner at Wild Country Seafood this past weekend. There is only seating outside the restaurant so I suggest coming on a good weather day. Order the fresh oysters when they are in season (which is summer time)! These were the biggest and juiciest oysters I have ever had and I have eaten oysters all over (New Orleans, Key West, etc). The oyster meat were so big they were falling off the shell. The fish tacos were also good. The fish was fresh and the salsa had a good flavor. The only reason I didn't give the place 5 stars is because of the rockfish sandwich. The fish patty itself was thin and too fishy. The bread was too thick. There will definitely be a next time. We will probably cater our seafood party from this place as well.
(4)Helen Z.
Delicious. We found this little gem while staying at a friend'a place off the Chesapeake Bay. There's very little seating (indoors and outdoors) so be prepared to wait a little if you want to dine in. We arrived around 3 PM which apparently was a bad idea after a holiday weekend because they were out of a lot of seafood, including their crabs. Instead, we ordered oysters and crab cakes. The oysters were of proper size and flavorful - and tasted great with a little lemon and cocktail sauce. (1 dozen for $12.) The crab cakes were about the 3" wide and 1" thick and delicious. A fantastic, high crab meat to filler ratio and with a side of surprisingly amazing fries. I only wish the service had been a little better (the cashier wasn't very talkative) and that they had more seafood in stock. A worthwhile place to check out if you're in the mood for seafood.
(4)Christina T.
Thanks Yelp for helping us locate a great seafood place on our way home from Sandy Point State Park (25 minutes). The owners catch fresh seafood everyday. If you like good, local food this is it! We'll be back. The crab cake had lots of crab. I'm giving 4 stars because Hubby wasn't a fan of the Rockfish Nuggets. It was his first Rockfish experience so he doesn't have a frame of reference but at least the breading was light.

Can you get absolutely gigantic and fresh oysters for less than a dollar each anywhere else? Yeah, thought so. Wild Country Seafood will fulfill your fantasy and fill your stomach until it's full and content. A true Annapolitan hidden gem behind the Maritime Museum and at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay into Back Creek, Wild Country serves a dozen oysters for $11.95; and they also come with fries and slaw. Other specialties include giant scallops, shrimp, clams, and fish. They also have chicken; but who wants chicken at such an excellent seafood place? You order inside and take your food outside to eat. You also get a peek at how they process the foods onsite and attest to their freshness as you go to the bathroom in the back through the kitchen. My only suggestion for improvement would be to serve more fresh items; as many of them are fried - but still delicious. The place also closes at 7 so you have to come and put your order in before then (afterward you can stay and eat outside until whenever). All in all, excellent value-added lunch and dinner choice. In addition to dining in, you can also call ahead and order crabs or fish for pickup and cook them at home.
(5)Davis T.
I came here last year and I was surprised where it was located at. The crabs are really fresh and good. Gonna come back again
(5)Felicia G.
Rude and not helpful. Didn't eat there because when I asked if they offered anything gluten free he says, "I don't even know what that is" ,"And there was no one else that could help me" in the restaurant. So this establishment does not offer any gf options as previously mentioned by another persons review and they need to improve their customer service.

About a 3.5: I was craving for some seafood, so I decided to bug my husband to drive us to Wild Country Seafood in Annapolis for an early dinner. Pat Mahoney is the owner of this eatery, located behind the Maritime Museum, on Bay Shore Avenue. They supposedly go out every morning to catch crabs, oysters, rockfish, and perch, so the hours of operations might be adjusted a bit. Most of the locals seems to come by to do a carry-out, but you can also order from their menu and dine in their limited counter space inside, or go out to their cute little tiki-hut tables outside by the parking lot. Their menu offers crabs, shrimp, clams, oysters, mussels, sandwiches (MD crab cake, flounder, beer-battered cod, rockfish, soft crab, oyster, or chicken), platters (crab cakes, soft crab, oysters, jumbo shrimp, rockfish nuggets, scallops, stuffed shrimp, broiled rockfish, and a combo), and baskets (fish & chips, clam strips, chicken teners, chicken and shrimp, and calamari). They also offer party platters (crab ball platter, peel and eat shrimp platters, peeled shrimp, shucked raw oysters, and combos). I tried a dozen of their 'Patty's Fattys' raw oysters, shucked. They were monstrous! Very big and so juicy! It comes with a side of fresh horseradish (yum!) and a cup of cocktail sauce - it was quite enjoyable! Their Stuffed Shrimp (came with 6 jumbo shrimp, stuffed with crab imperial), which came with fries and slaw, was okay. It is usually battered and fried golden brown, but I requested it to be broiled. The shrimp and the crab was very filling and it was very fresh; however, there wasn't much seasoning to it. I also tried their Scallops, also broiled; not as big as I thought they would be, and they were also on the bland side. My husband had the Combo platter, which came with 1 crab cake, 4 shrimp, 4 bay scallops, fish fillet, and clams. He was a fan of the clams, but that was pretty much it. I thought the clams were delicious as well, as they were battered and quite crunchy and lovely. The crabcake had no fillers, and I've read that it was gluten-free; I was also surprised that the fish fillet was monstrous, literally taking all of the bottom surface area of the basket. However, the shrimp, the scallops, as well as the fish fillet were also on the bland side. I wasn't a fan of the fries, but their slaw was pretty tasty, as it was a sweet/tangy mixture that was dressed quite well. I highly suggest to get the following: +Patty's Fattys raw and shucked oysters +fried clams I would love to come back for their crabs and snow crab clusters. This place was quite cute, and I think they were going for a no-nonsense, no-frills, straight from the ocean to being battered and then being served type of a deal. I just wish there was more seasoning either in the batter or on the seafood itself before being prepared, but I can't complain about the freshness. The cashier who took our order was very professional and efficient; you just at the tables if you're dining there, and they'll bring the food out for you. Once you're done, just bring your plates/baskets inside and lay it on the counter (no waste bins around). Parking is very limited, so you might have to park along the fence or on the street. Also, getting here is kind of a squeeze, as the Bay Shore Avenue is very tight, with one side with parked cars, and just enough to have one car drive up and down (you have to take turns).

I didn't expect the food to be good here especially because of the way the place looked like, but don't judge a book by its cover...right? When I went, the crabs were all sold out which seemed to be the case with majority of the restaurants in the area. I ordered the combo platter which had one crab cake, 4 shrimps, 4 scallops, fish fillet, and clams. Everything was battered and fried except for the crab cake because I asked for that to be broiled. Fries and slaw came with the platter. Everything was decent, but I would say that the shrimp tasted the best. All in all, the food wasn't mind blowing amazing or whatever. It was a good meal. Thankfully there weren't many people so there was seating available outside. They had 4 tables outside, which could seat up to 8 people I'd say per table.
(3)Annie L.
We went to this place last weekend and loved it. Very casual, very tasty and BYOB. What more do I have to say? We stuffed our faces with crabs (XL Males), hush puppies (yes, please), french fries (yum), shrimp, fish sticks and oysters. Yeah, we went a little crazy... but you know what? IT WAS DELICIOUS. We had to wait for a table, since there are only 4 available. It took maybe 15 minutes for one to open up and our food had not been prepared yet so it was no big deal. This place has a great, hidden location. That said, parking is not so fun and your oversized vehicle should stay at home. There is a little path to a dock and some ships in the harbor. While this is a nice setting, it may not be ideal for small children. Overall, we will definitely return and loved this unique and reasonably priced gem!
