We picked up steamed blue crabs for my birthday. They are absolutely one of my favorite things in the world. Picking blue crab is a labor of love. You either understand or not. These were very reasonably priced. All of them were heavy fat crabs. And all males. I'll be back. Over and over and over again. read more

I have visited this place many times over the years. My crabs were very mushy and full of water although the owner mentioned they were "just steamed" they appeared to be frozen and thawed! Very disappointing after traveling over an hour to purchase. Ended up getting a refund ! read more

Fresh, fresh seafood from the market or kitchen (when it is open). Great, honest people

Crunchy grouper was really tasty, large portion of fish and fried well so it was still flakey and moist, and our server was very nice although very busy. We had a nice lunch here though was a little pricey. For two sandwiches, some sodas, and two extra sides it was $72 which is a bit more than we'd usually spend for lunch. I think we'll try out more places in the area before trying here again for lunch. We didn't buy any fresh seafood while we were here but the inside seemed clean and well kept with a wide selection. read more

Basin Seafood and More is a go-to spot for my mom, who loves their crabs in a bag that they cook fresh for you. This time, I stopped by to pick up a box of oysters for my grandfather--they sell them by the box, with 100 oysters included. The service was good and efficient, making the whole process smooth. There's plenty of parking available, and I noticed they even have outdoor seating, which is a nice option. read more

Hello fellow yelpers, I was in Stuart this week and decided I would pick up some seafood before I went home. I am so glad I found this gem. Not only did they have great seafood items for purchase, but they are also a restaurant. I had an absolutely delicious lunch. It's been a long time since I had found a place that served whole belly fried clams. They have picnic tables outside or a few inside the store. The waiter, server and counter staff were all polite and attentive to me and the other customers. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for great seafood items. read more

Went for the 1st time. Looks like a fav for those wanting blue crabs! The peep r nice. Ord a Floridian basket which is grouper & mahi w/fries and coleslaw. It was ok, some fish pieces didnt seem to be cooked completely, fries the size of Micky D's had potential if they were crisp, coleslaw was good. Husb had the crunchy grouper sandwich he liked it, same on fries. Flo was great!! It's a small lil place also sells fish, most seating outside; today they had blue grass live music. read more

We went there and I had the most delicious whole belly clams fried that I've had in Florida.

Great fish and chips. Very good lobster roll with hot butter. Our first time there. Very satisfied and will definitely go again. Large menu selection. Owner took our order and waited our table. He was from New Bedford MA.Very friendly and knowledgeable. We ate inside a small area, but plenty of room outside . read more

Well the first thing we can say about Basin Seafood is Wow!! Everything was Amazing, we started with a dozen steamed Ipswich clams so fresh and juicy. We also had a stuffed quahog for starters. We went on Friday night which is fish and chips for $14.95 night. The fish was delicious. Fresh and light. We also ordered a side of full belly fried clams that was incredible. The tartar sauce reminded my wife of New Bedford. Even the hush puppies were great. We recommend this restaurant Big Time. Look for Flo she was great. read more

The food is amazing $35 all you can eat blue crab! This was my first time here and eating blue crab I'm from detroit we do not get fresh seafood like this. The waitress was amazing she threw on some gloves to help her girl out and show me how to crack them without destroying my hands, the service was impeccable!! My sweet tea stayed full and the out door seating was amazing they even put up a fan for you to keep the bugs away. I even met a amazing couple that lives an hour away that comes for the all you can eat crab and a bucket of corona. I'll definitely be back to try more on the menu , i was stalking everyone else's dish and everything looked amazing! read more

I don't like to eat alone, so I order my fish dinner to go. I love the fried fish at Basin Seafood. My order is always ready when I get there, fresh and delicious. read more

Probably some of the best fish and chips I have ever eaten! Large portions and the prices are just right highly highly recommend

So I like this place, but there are a few things you need to know when you are eating the All You Can Eat Crabs. 1) Gratuity is included, don't add an another tip unless your service was excellent. 2) If you order the jumbo crabs they come with 4 crabs. 3) If you order the medium you get 6-8 at a time. 4) Jumbo crabs are good, but it is cheaper to order from the market directly, especially if you are not going to eat more than four.The service is great. They try to explain their process, but review your receipt. It's small indoors 6 tables. They also have outdoor seating as well. Not upscale, comfortable in a dive bar way. read more

Called in for a pick up order of the fried oyster plate with plantains, hush puppies and a bowl of lobster bisque. It was delicious super fresh and Micheal was super nice and had all utensils and sauces in the bag! Highly recommended! Also very clean and chill atmosphere! read more

Very friendly service and tables inside and out were very clean, crabs were good even though not any of the bigger sizes. For a fish market my rule is if it smells fishy leave, this did not smell at all Reasonable prices read more

My steamed shrimp were large and delicious. The oysters were excellent . Our waitress was adequate and " Elvis" the entertainer was fun .

I was so disappointed 09/08/2024- we order the all you can eat crabs and we could only get one good crabs out of all the ones we ate. They were disgusting no meat and mushy at the same time. All the waiter could say is I am sorry, she saw that every crab that was open was rotten. and did not offered any solutions, but the manager is not around to refund you the money for the crabs. I should have followed the last review that was on their page about the crabs, I was willing to give the benefit of the doubt, but I should have went with the person review. Stay away, until they do better with the crabs and customer. I was so disappointed 09/08/2024- we order the all you can eat crabs and we could only get one good crabs out of all the ones we ate.

We ate lunch there, it was fresh and delicious. We had the lobster bisque, steamed Ipswich clams and also the clam basket with fries and coleslaw. Best clam basket I ever had!!! Waitress couldn't have been more pleasant and helpful and the owner behind the counter was so friendly too.

went yesterday had all you can eat blue crab for $40 each plus tip. They were advertised as large but were not. my wife ate 4 and stopped because she said they were too small and too much work. We asked them to bag our leftovers. They said it would cost another $4 per crab to take them. I asked what were they going to do with our crabs? The waiter said "throw them out". (throw them out verses letting your customer take his leftovers???) Really has me wondering whose leftover crabs had I just eaten? read more

Kitchen is closed several days during the week this time of year. Call first. Market has modified hours.

Good food, maybe a little to blacken on the shrimp and great service and atmosphere. We will be coming back.

Just ordered the crab cake plate. What disappointment. The cakes were mostly filler and had crab shells throughout. I have never had anything this disappointing from the basin. I hope this isn't the way things will be heading. I really like the food normally. This was my 1st time having their crab cakes, and last read more

I recently visited Basin Seafood based on recommendations on Facebook. Prices were very reasonable and the service and food were excellent. We had lunch and purchased a bag of crabs to take home. The crabs were a good size but for me a little under seasoned. Personal preference and I fully understand they are appealing to a wide audience who may not like lots of spices. I will definitely go back and try again and purchase live crabs when available to make at home. Highly recommend this place! read more

This was just okay.... I mean, it has an easy going atmosphere but food was very normal... nothing to rave about. Fresh oysters were very plain, sauce was not good and no horseradish. Also had the oyster sandwich and that was freshly fried but lacked seasoning. Live music was fun, the guy was very entertaining and pleasant. Probably a place that I will not return to. read more

It is rare for my wife and I to write a bad review; however, in this case we are making an exception. We just got off the phone with one of the nastiest "managers" of a business that I have ever experienced - absolutely no effort to address a legitimate concern. Customer service much? NOT AT ALL! We ordered two orders of the all-you-can-eat blue crabs. My God! They were so mushy that the wait staff brought out more in an attempt to get one good tray of crabs. She was apologetic, but said that the manager was not available to address the issue. So, we called while on our way home. The condescending tone of this so-called manager was defensive, ultimately turning nasty as we attempted to share our concern. He sounded angry. We didn't ask for our money back, just wanted to share our disappointment with the meals. BUYERS BE ADVISED! read more

Bought medium stone crab to go because the place stunk like fish and was filthy to eat there. Brought home and the flesh was grey, frozen and was rancid. If I lived closer would had asked for my money back. read more

Basin says it's a seafood market but it's a definitely a restaurant also and it's very good. We sat outside on an evening at a picnic'y table for two. Our waitress was sweet and efficient. Tonight they had an AYCE steamed blue crab special, but we weren't ready for pick in' and ordered off the regular menu. My Grouper Reuben w/ fries was great as was the cod, shrimp and crab cake platter /w fries and coleslaw very good for my companion. Prices are solid for seafood. Parking is free and decent enough, might get tricky on a busy weekend. I'll definitely return and be eyeing those blue crabs for next time. Thanks! read more

If you are in the area, looking for crab, this is the place! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about everything they sell. Adding tidbits of information about when and where their stock comes from. Reasonable prices and large variety of seafood here! Places to sit and eat as well as carry out available. Cannot wait to visit again soon! Thank you Basin! read more

Crabs were fresh and very reasonably priced. Will travel there again. While it was a long drive from SLW, it was well worth it.

Great place for steamed crabs if you're from Maryland! Go on Tuesdays and Fridays when they get their deliveries. A dive joint that's really cool read more

It was a beautiful afternoon so we chose to eat outside for our first time here. We had both the Fried Shrimp plate and Blackened Shrimp Basin Island Bowl...both were very good and plenty to eat! The hush puppies were delicious...especially with the sauce served with them. And live entertainment on a Saturday afternoon was a nice added touch too. Our server, Flo, made sure that we were enjoying our meals and we assured her that we would be back. read more

Always super fresh and the staff are very kind and knowledgeable. I decided on the sheepshead. They filleted it. I asked about making a fish stock from the remains so they shared how to make it. I looked up a recipe to be more precise and found the results were worth the effort! My husband added it to a shrimp risotto the next night and it was marvelous. The sheepshead smelled like the ocean. It's white, delicate meat was delicious! Such a gem to be right here in town and offering the freshest seafood around, The cute building offers limited inside seating and several outside picnic tables covered from the sun. It was clean and our waitperson was knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly. read more

Excellent crabs, big & heavy. Outdoor seating is hot in the summer, suggest taking home till the weather cools down.

The hours here on Yelp are wrong. They now close at 7:00 pm. I got there at 10 minutes to 7 thinking I had a good hour to enjoy the place, but they were about to close. I was seated outside and never got to see the interior, but I was fine with that. It's a rustic place, not for romantic dinners. They were out of Fish Dip which I was looking forward to trying. I ordered their combination platter: excellent fresh fish. The Calamari are simply devine, the rest is good. The shrimps are the only thing that I believe had been frozen, but they still tasted excellent. They offered me three sauces: tartar, ketchup, and horseradish. I also got a little cup of coke slaw. Nothing disappointed. Overall it was a pleasant experience, but I will go back to try their other dishes (I love Fish Dip) and with more time. read more

We found this little gem a few days before we left Stuart, we ended up eating there two nights in a row. We live on the coast of North Carolina so we know good seafood, the fried oysters were as good as I've ever had, the shrimp was amazing, and the steamed crab was just too good. It's not the fanciest place, you're literally eating in a seafood market, but there is also seating outside, it's quite quaint... Our server, Amanda was the best, I felt like I'd known her for years! If you just want good food down to the slaw, this is your spot. read more

Great place. Glad I found it. Went in for blue crabs and was happy to find they had big ones. Even let you pick your own. I mean big. Too often, at other places, they say big and they are not. Not at Basin's. Also very pleasant staff. Will be going back. Again and again. read more

Very reasonably priced fish market, their blue crab is excellent! Very good oysters and stone crab claws. On recaches is on crab so you know it's fresh. Favorite local fish market read more
