Crab 73 - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

They are ok, I usually call before going I did this time too but wasn't told that they didn't have #1's so I settled for #2 & they were delicious 😋.

Best crabs ever!! Great prices even better quality.

Very disappointing. Bought 1 dozen #1's on the way back to NY from Ocean City. All the crabs were barely 1's, probably should be 2's, and very light.

Pleasant, hospitable and beautiful blue crabs

I'm one of those people who don't want to leave an excellent review because I'm being selfish with my favorite places. However, crab 73 deserves recognition and praise. We've tried other places around the area but nothing beats this place which probably explains why we're here 2-3 times a month. We've been buying crabs, clams, oysters, and whatever fresh produce they have available for over a year now and have never been disappointed.

Picked up a bushel of #1's crabs, all of them were alive and full. Definitely recommend.

Great service, awesome location, good quality seafood!

Great place and prices were pretty good!

Good price on crabs and very nice people.

Drove over an hour each way for crabs and will be doing it again soon!! Half a bushel of #1s were big, heavy and well worth the price. See you in a couple of weeks!

Great prices !! Extremely nice people.. excellent crabs !

Very friendly staff!!! Great prices and even better seafood 👌

Love to get crabs from here. The staff is SO NICE!!! One young lady even took the time out to entertain my two teens by explaining everything about the crabs, particularly the soft shell. She also took the time explaining the best way to cook them, so ever since... My husband far prefers to prepare them himself. I can't recommend Cream 73 enough!

Love love love the crabs very nice and respectful people and you get your money worth

Good choice fresh seafood. Not easily accessible

Love, beautiful scenery, clean organized and oh so friendly. Going next week, last week for the BLUES. So far ever other place already closed for the season.

Fresh crabs live crabs alwaise on point! Oysters as well!! Have my bizness all tha tym anytym

Best place in Delaware to get Seafood. Crabs 🦀 are very big and in my opinion the best prices in the whole state of Delaware.

They sell live and frozen seafood. As well as fresh corn, seasonings, etc. They always have a real bargain and deals you can find on their fb page. Staff are really pleasant people.

Came and picked up live crab’s for tonight and we were NOT disappointed🩵 very full and delicious. Will be back again !!

Very clean & friendly. EXCEPTIONAL LUMP CRAB MEAT!!

Crabs were huge, #1's and delicious!

Just bought 2 lb lump crab meat at 73. Got it home and see it us crab from Venezuela. Now I am afraid to eat it. Never again!

This is going to be my new crab house they're great

Always worth the hour drive up !!

Great crabs, good price, nice people

Amazing place just to look at. Great seafood. Live Crabs.

Hidden Gem right here! Love this place and the seafood is Amazing!

This place is the best. Sweet, full, fat crabs. Helpful and knowledgeable staff always willing to help you out. I can't recommend them enough I will never go anyplace else for live crabs that's for sure. Best place in the area for live crabs get you some. You won't regret it and you will be back for more.

Best crabs I've had in a long time. Fair price. But for that, you get very big and fresh #1s. Made their journey to the Poconos. Not one died. All of them full of meat. So sweet. Can't wait to get more. Our go to spot for crabs now!

Real nice and friendly staff. Price is right and the Crabs are very good.

Crab 73 sells amazingly fresh and delicious seafood. Once again, I just took a drive from Hockessin, DE to get some live crabs. It’s worth the drive to get Quality seafood and their #1 crabs are heavy and actually closer to extra large. I passed 5 seafood markets on my way to Crab 73 as I will on future seafood buys. Great honest people to buy from!!! Just a follow up as of 8/9/22! I stop by Crab 73 every Tuesday and the crabs continue to be heavy and very large for No. 1 size. Just amazing quality and nice people. A must try is you want crabs and I’ve tried them all from Hockessin to Longneck Rd in Millsboro, DE.

Absolutely a great place for seafood and the waitress was awesome, a must if your in the area.

This was my 1st time having crabs there, they were so delicious. They were so fresh and meaty, we will be purchasing again

Great place employees are awsome need blue claw crabs place to go live only

Good price and Full Crabs!...Will definitely return. They have a customer appreciation too...CHECK THEM OUT!!!!!

They are the best in Delaware - crabs - clams - oysters

Best place to go for live Crabs in Delaware by far. Biggest crabs you'll get and the Staff are super friendly!!

Ned is a great guy who went out of his way to make sure my order was available. I can't say enough good things about this place and their crew! Thanks again

By far the best crab prices I’ve came across so far!!! You guys have officially gained a life long customer ❤️

Crab 73 was amazing. The people there were polite and extremely helpful. I'm paralyzed due to a motorcycle accident and they accommodated me without any hesitation or issue. I would definitely recommend going there. I had brought 2 dozen of the number 1 blue crabs which is the biggest ones. A little advice, they are freshly caught so they are fiesty and fast. As soon as I dumped them out the bag. It was like a 100 yard dash. The first 5 immediately jumped out the sink somehow. Lol

Great place... Love my Crab 73 Peep's...... Ned, Amanda and the rest of the Crew.

Great prices and the staff were super nice! We bought Dungeness crabs, scallops, and swordfish, took them home and prepared them... delicious! My youngest literally ate all the crab before I was able to get a picture lol.

No place like it. I've purchased crabs from the lower Eastern shore MD. and VA.and Balt and the Wharf in DC and no one beats their prices or customer service. 🦀73 for life 👍😎💯

Great staff, prices are always amazing, and they have a great selection of different products. We drive from Wilmington, well worth the drive and time. Definitely a great place to get great blue crab.

Great place, good people. Always nice. And the#1 crabs are always heavy. Never have I ever gotten any dead crabs.

I love the place the people and the staff that work there

Absolutely loved the crabs, the price, and the hospitality!

Very friendly staff very reasonable prices and 🦀 sizes for a half bushel of live females ($45) and every one of them was alive by the time I got them back to Dover to cook them. This place is definitely a diamond in the rough

Awesome crabs.. reasonable price.. narural setting..love the place

The young lady who waited on us (I believe her name was Emma) was the bee's knee's along w/ her delightful daughter & playful puppy! OH, I guess U want to know how the food was,well from someone who was kitchen manager & head cook in a steak & seafood restaurant down state for about 10 yrs.I can honestly say the crabs can't get any fresher bc they have tanks filled w/live crabs hard & soft shell right there on the premises & they were really full crabs,the softshells were the cheapest I've seen in awhile & don't get me started on the scallops...(okay u talked me into it)they were some of the freshest I've ever tasted! Sorry no pics of the food bc I was hungry but here is one of that playful puppy! Enjoy!🦀🦞🦐🦀🍻

The crabs are reasonable and the customer service is phenomenal

Fresh local crabs in tanks. Friendly staff will clean them for you. They sell to restaurants but will sell to individuals also.

Always a fan of this place. Very honest people! Clean and you can tell all seafood is fresh there!

Love this place never disappointed when I go get crabs !!!

Great quality and customer service. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

Hands down best crab joint in Delaware and I've lived here my whole life can't beat the price freshness or service great people recommend them to everyone

Almost always have hard and soft crabs when I call.

By far best priced crabs in the area, never had a bad experience here!

Crab 73 has the Best Customer Service! Everyone is Always Super-Friendly. They cater to their customers! I order from them almost Every Week!!! They are like Family! Their Seafood is Always Fresh. Crab seasoning are always available. My order is Always Ready upon arrival. I Highly Recommend Crab 73!

Purchased half bushel of number one crabs for 40th wedding anniversary in late August . First time at Crab 73, large heavy crabs, no light ones. Be back this week for more. 👍👍👍👍👍

Crab 73 wonderful great prices the crabs were delicious oh my God I enjoy them nice full heavy

The best crabs staff is very friendly

First time stopping at Crab 73 and we loved everything we ordered! Nice drive-thru set up was quick and easy, too. We got #1 crabs at a great price and they were full and delicious! Sea scallops were fresh and very tasty! The shrimp salad was great and so flavorful. The lady who served us was very friendly and helpful! Quality, fresh seafood, worth the drive from upstate!! We will be back, thank you!

Love this place! Never a bad experience and always the best crabs!

Will be returning soon.Highly recommended ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆.They get double fives,the octopus was excellent.Wish I would of bought from them sooner.

For the past 3 years, I've stopped at Crab 73 on my bicycle ride from Lancaster, PA to Lewes, DE. The location is perfect for getting some hydration and nutrition in the seeming middle of nowhere. Cold water bottles. Caramel popcorn. I suppose you can get decent crab there, as well, but I've never ventured in that direction in the middle of a bicycle ride.

Epic crab busting party with their product. No shorts. 3 even almost escaped!

Awesome place to buy seafood ...fast friendly service

Never had an issue with anything I have purchased here, sometimes the price is a little higher than other locations but I prefer quality and the attention to the product that the staff shows.

Cash only. Order ahead of time.

First time getting crabs, decent price for the time on the year & season. Crabs were decent size and full of meat. We ordered live and we steamed them.

Been going here for years. What a great little place to pick up shellfish!

I agree with every good comment on here ! It was my first experience was getting 2 bushels late in the season for a 5 hour trip to west PA for a family cookout . Crab 73 was awesome from the great price , customer service and all you'll need to get the job done ! I'll be seeing them for 4 bushel next year for 2 family cookouts I hope they are ready lol

Everything is good with the exception that they do not answer the phone like they should, when they finally did answer, I was put on hold for a long time, until I had to hang up! I called back several times, but couldn't get an answer, besides the answering machine! Sorry I had to post this and hopefully they will improve!

Awesome prices. Full , heavy crabs.

Love that place. Fair prices and very fresh product. Clams were great and crabs were fighting like crazy to get out of the pot.

Great prices, crabs are really nice

Best live crab prices around....bar none.

Prices are great, customer service is very good and the seafood is fresh!! Great experience. Although we live closer to other seafood stores, the extra distance we have to travel to go here is worth it!

My go to place for all of my seafood needs. The crabs are delicious! The prices and amazing. The staff is one of a kind. Thanks Crab 73, I'll continue to support you and share your wonderful business with my family and friends.

This is our second time buying from them and we’ve never had a problem. The staff I had always been friendly whether on the phone or in person. The price is always in our range and they NEVER disappoint. We usually order 4-5 dozen and both times we only had a few dead ones due to the other crabs in transit back to the house. Heavy and big!! We won’t be using another crab supplier. Thanks y’all!!

Visited yesterday was amazed I had ordered afull bushel on Monday but because of the weather people canceled So I only needed a 1/2 bushel This was no problem Very courteous also took some corn on the cob the sweetest we've had all year.This is definitely my .new crab house Thank you 73 Crab

Bought a bushel of #1's tonight! They were packed full of meat, sweet and delicious! If Pop approves.. They must be good!

Great crabs, every one good sized and meaty.

The best place in Delaware to get crabs the prices are great and the people are excellent

Only place I know in Delaware you can get alligator

Great place guys know there business great Prices only place to buy Crabs and all types of sea food A5+Place in and out.

Love the staff , the prices and crabs are heavy!

Crabs had such potential but they were half empty and tasted like mud. Guess you have to wait until mid summer for Delaware crabs. Crab sauce was awesome as usual...we will go back once summer starts

They always have fresh seafood at great prices! We love crab 73!

Very knowledgeable of product and great customer service.

Our go-to crab place. Nice people selling good crabs.
