I gave them a one due to the fact it was my 1st getting seafood from them some of the crabs was empty and after you cooked the 🦀 the meat was a little mushy The shrimp from 16.00 was big frozen but when you cooked them it wasn't giving at all The medium and large Crabs looked the same. The prices that your paying They should be able to give you an extra crab or two like the other seafood places 🤧 I can eat a dozen by myself in one day✋ but not this place I purchase my seafood from here 07-22-25 and I have like 8 -10 Crabs left out of a dozen and a half still in my refrigerator🤦 Tuesday night me and my family has been on the toilet 🚽 shh 🤫 up a storm. Instead of me picking the meat out like the other Crabs I buy from others McAllister crabs what is dry when you try to suck the juice out no

Great crabs for the price. Maybe come early to get female crabs. All we got were males.

We ordered four bags of stone crab claws, large, and they were incredibly delicious! Also, the pink gulf shrimp was delicious and fresh. No fishy smell. The crab cakes were pretty darn.Good as well. If you like to cook your own seafood, this is where you go get it. No frills, just seafood.

Stumbled upon McAlister crab while on a quick visit to Punta Gorda and must I say this is a hidden gem! I had the live blue crabs stemmed they were delicious, and the fried shrimp and crab cake platter was to perfection. Fried light not greasy like some of the other fried food platter I've experienced. 10/10 if you are in the area go for it!
