Call first and order if you want to get in and out quickly as they have a good amount of business. Fresh CrabsI picked up a bushel. Very friendly and great customer service. Family owned business. 50 years in business this year. I would recommend this business to anyone looking for fresh seafood as they sell more than just crabs.

Crab 73 never disappoints! Crabs were good size for #2,s and nice and heavy. Smoked a few and steamed the rest. So good!

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.

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.

FINALLY!!! Found Dungeness crabs we can buy to cook at home and not pay a fortune. Very reasonably priced and worth what we paid. And they were GREAT TASTING TOO!!!
