Drive up, order fish or shrimp, get fresh fish or shrimp to cook at home . Have been there a half a dozen times over the last several years and it's always good fresh fish.

★★★★★ 5.0 Gretchen Campise · May 2025

Best place to get fresh gulf shrimp. We have been looking for a place to get fresh seafood in Crystal Beach since we began coming 4 years ago. We FINALLY found the Monster Shrimp Man and are glad we did. Seafood is fresh, not frozen, and you can tell it. Service is friendly too. We will go back for certain.

Looking for some fresh seafood to cook at home? This place is fresh, fast and easy. It's a house that has the bottom floor converted to a storefront. When we were there fourth of july weekend, he only took cash. Got 5# of head-on shrimp. Great size and price was $9.50, which was great for the quality. He will take off the head for no extra cost, but I wanted them on. You also get several scoops of ice with your purchase, so bring a cooler. They DO NOT sell cooked food here.

Easy in and out from a guy selling food right out of his home. Like others, we bought grouper + shrimp at a fair rate. Enjoyed cooking both and they turned out delicious

★★★★☆ 4.0 Dempsy · Jan 2022

I bought 6 beautiful Grouper filets that ended up weighing 5 lbs. These were large, beautiful pieces fish cooked up perfectly. The cost was very reasonable @ $9/lb for a total of $47 w/tax. We'll have 2 generous servings per meal, or 6 fresh Grouper dinners for 2 for less than $8/meal. Plus, we're helping a true American Mom-and-Pop operation to stay afloat during trying times.
