That…read moresaid over the years it has been our go-to, our maybe? and a distant memory for a slew of reasons and change of ownership. In the summertime I practically live on blue crabs and have sourced many places in North Philly to get them. I returned to the Crab Shack yesterday after seeing a revamped operation on social media and their website. We got two dozen and they were cooked perfectly. They also offer an extensive menu of steamed platters with the ubiquitous veggie trio. You can order on line or outside at the store. You can call but I had no luck with that. The young man who worked with me was nice and pleasant. I was allowed inside to look in the cases that had crabs of all sizes already cooked that morning as well as others cooked seafood items. The staff behind the counter are loud and aloof but they care about what they are doing. Give em a try.

For the price I paid (35.00) This was such a disappointment, considering I was trying something new instead of my typical seafood spot. (Which is much cheaper) I have 0 plans to order from here again and this is a warning for anyone else whose looking for anyone.

I had the taste for some Salmon with some good sides. My Hubby wanted some Wings & Seafood Salad.. T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E !!! Chicken Wings, It was obvious that the grease was old, because the wings were so dark yet not over cooked. They were bland & hardly edible. Seafood Salad - Nothing but cut up imitation crab meat, mayo, with old bay season. Not horrible, but not what I would consider seafood salad. Salmon Platter - Small portion of Salmon, a bit bland but not over cooked. Potatoes cooked just right but absolutely no flavor. Big piece of broccoli drenched in minced garlic, butter, and a hint of lemon. Now that I think about it, the whole platter was covered in minced garlic.. (Shaking my head). The platter did come with 2 pieces of corn, but I didn't bother to eat them. My 1st & last experience with S&M Seafood....

Having spent most of my life here, a few familiar joys always come to mind. Now, I'll admit--shopping for fish wouldn't usually make that list. But Giuseppe's Market inside Samuels & Son has changed that entirely. This place is an absolute standout. The seafood selection is unmatched--ultra-fresh, incredibly diverse, and always beautifully displayed. But even more impressive than the product is the people. The team behind the counter is among the most professional, accommodating, knowledgeable, and all-around kind folks you'll ever encounter in a market. They're the kind of people who take pride in what they do and make you feel genuinely welcome every time you stop by. If you're not already shopping at Giuseppe's, let me just say--you're missing out. It's a hidden gem tucked inside a working seafood distribution hub, and it deserves your appreciation. John, the manager, is a master of hospitality and seems to make instant friends with just about everyone. The rest of the crew? Just as fantastic. Three words: Buy. Fish. Here. You'll be glad you did.

I looked at the menu for months but never ordered, afraid if they were not going to be fresh. Then branzino showed up on the list last week. I ordered right away! Along with the dry packed scallops.

Let me start by saying, I truly believe the negative reviews don't do this place justice. My…read moreexperience here was phenomenal. I called ahead and asked if they could hold off on cooking my meal since I wasn't nearby yet (it was going to take me about 50 minutes to get there). I wanted my food hot and fresh, and they delivered exactly that! By the time I arrived, my order was still piping hot and ready to go. I ordered the salmon nuggets and swai with broccoli and red potatoes. The portion sizes were HUGE, I shared it with my teenager and still had enough left over for lunch the next day. Everything was cooked perfectly. The salmon nuggets were moist, not overcooked (which is hard to get right when frying salmon), and the swai was clean and flavorful. Even after reheating the next day, the fish was still tender and juicy, not dry at all. On top of all that, the customer service was amazing; and let's be honest, that's not always the case at seafood spots. the place looked like a typical seafood spot. If you know you know. It's not a dine-in restaurant. Overall, I give this place a 10/10. I'll definitely be back!

I usually try not to judge with first impressions but sometimes you just need to follow your gut instincts. I had to stand in line for 15 minutes before the one person who was taking orders took mine. There were only three people working. Then I sat down to wait. The lady at the next table was quite upset saying she ordered over the phone 30 mintues ago and she still had to wait another 30 minutes for her food. Then two other ladies who had already gotten their food earlier came back to complain that their order was incomplete. By then I should have known that it wasnt looking to good. I had ordered the Tuesday special--1 crab cluster and 20 shrimp. Good thing I had gotten two orders because the platters were light!!! Got home and looked at what my $20 had gotten, and it was sad. The crab cluster was so small it was like they gave me a blue crab instead of a snow crab. The shrimp were small, flavorless and chewy. I ate a few shrimp and then just threw the rest away. My son picked over some of the shrimp and then stuck the rest of the platter in the fridge---which means he won't eat the rest of that. $20 wasted. I would have done better by buying my own shrimp and crab legs, if only I felt like cooking. Will scratch this place off my hidden gems list---it will just remain hidden for me. Sorry Hector's.
