My go-to place for deep fried low tide! Best seafood take out in the area! Fish and chips are always good and fresh and their coleslaw is so good my kids love. Po-boys are good but a little light on the shrimp compared to ones I've had in NOLA but still very tasty and satisfy the craving. read more

We stopped by on our way from DC to CT and we're glad we did! The crab cakes, soft shell crabs, and Asian seaweed salad were delicious. If we didn't live 5 hours away, we'd be back every week. All the seafood looked beautiful and the place was super clean. And the owner was so nice, packing up our purchase on ice to be sure it made the trip. Thank you again, Bay Shore Steam Pot! We'll be back. read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Bay Shore Steam Pot! This little gem of a place offer steam pots, fresh seafood, weekly specials, and even hot items from their carryout menu (note that there's no dining in and it's only a carry-out type of a place!). The hubs and I were in the area, and we ordered: +Crab Balls - homemade crab balls with mostly all lumps, no filler! These were perfectly fried mini crabcakes that were so addicting! +Beer-Battered Cod - sold by the piece - this was literally one of the best cod I've had! The batter is perfectly golden brown, light, crispy, and the cod itself was super fresh and flaky - YUM! +Macaroni Salad - made in-house daily; it was creamy and the pasta was dressed well +Potato Salad - potatoes were cooked perfectly; this was creamy and everything was dressed well +Coleslaw - also made in-house daily; this was creamy and had a nice tang; perfect with the fried seafood I would have loved to try their to-go steam pots, but we don't live close by; maybe if we had some type of an overnight trip nearby! They also have catering options. Staff were kind and welcoming. All items are made-to-order, so there is a bit of a wait, but not too long! Can't wait to go back! +Crab Balls! +Beer-Battered Cod! +friendly and kind staff! +to-go only +parking across the street read more

I needed to come back here to make an important point: After buying grocery-store salmon for months, I purchased salmon from Bay Shore last week. It practically melted in my mouth! I can't stress enough how incredibly good the salmon was! I am ruined now from buying seafood at a regular store! read more

Stopped here on a whim while passing through the area and was not disappointed. We got the fried shrimp platter with french fries and coleslaw - everything was great. The shrimp (6) have a very light batter and tasted fresh. The fries were fantastic - hand cut, and not greasy and the coleslaw was tasty - something my husband never enjoys but raved about from here. All in all - a great experience and I would 100% come back again or recommend it if you're passing through. read more

Amazing seafood shop. You won't be sorry! The staff is friendly and accommodating. The quality of seafood is above any in the area. Keep up the great work! read more

Great family owned. Carry out is brisk. Pricey, however, fresh! I recommend their crab cakes. I broiled thy and delicious! The homemade tuna salad is fantastic. Prices justified by product read more

I had a quick idea to get seafood for dinner tonight. BEST idea in a long time .. I ordered a quart of Cream of Crab and a container of Shrimp salad. Well didn't get a chance to get a picture of the soup it was so good !! The shrimp salad is so very tasty !!! I added extra Old Bay to my items as I like extra spice !!! Delicious!!! 5 plus stars ... read more

Can't beat the freshness and quality of their fish! I avoid buying fish at the grocery store now unless this place is closed.

Best crab cakes on the shore, hands down. So much jumbo lump meat stuffed into them, and almost no filler- if any. They even sell the mixture so that you can make your own at home. My other fav is their tuna salad but they only have it sometimes so you have to ask for it. FYI, this isn't a sit-down restaurant, it's a fish market so it's grab-n-go. read more

Excellent food. Everything so far has been excellent. Very sweet caring people. Willing to custom prepare if there is something one cannot have or simply doesn't want. Rapid delivery. Just wish they had seating. Highly recommend. read more

We've been regulars (meaning every month or two) for the last 3 years. They have some of the best tasting snow crab legs imaginable and generally they legs are large enough to get at the crab meat easily. We don't go anywhere else for crab legs. read more

Heading down to visit friends in Maryland and wanted a quick bite to eat. Quaint little seafood market set-up for carry out only. The crab cake was spectacular. All meat, seasoned to perfection. Tried their homemade vegetable crab soup made with a very flavorful broth. To finish it off an order of clam strips. Very tasty. Will definitely stop back in on our way back up to New Jersey. Update: second visit in 3 days. Just as as good as the first time. Tried the special of the day, a crab melt...delicious. read more

We found them through Yelp. The fried fish was pretty good, the soups were good. The crab cakes were pretty good, some of the best. The corn and potato salad were good too. So, why 4 and not 5? The price is a bit high, but the quality is there. Getting the food was a bit slow, they prepare fresh I guess. We would definitely go back. It is nice to see that several people with very few reviews bother to provide such nice reviews. I also slightly resent and I think it does this business (and all) a disservice to not show the distribution of ratings. read more

We ordered popcorn shrimp platter, fish and chips platter, and a cup of cream of crab soup. We loved every bite of the entire meal. Great serving sizes, delicious taste, etc. read more

Stopped on a trip up north. Just off rt 301. Great little place. Staff was very friendly. Service was quick and the food was awesome. I had the fried crab cake sandwich no filler, nicely seasoned. Nice big pieces of crab. My wife had fried shrimp and fries, also very good. Fresh seafood cooked perfect. The place was busy while we were there. Lots of locals. They knew many customers by name. They sell fresh seafood and the case was super organized and everything looked very fresh. Only thing to note is there is no seating it is take out. Don't let that stop you. We ate in the car and will definitely be back! Well worth the stop. Nice job all around. read more

Always fresh seafood to go, raw or cooked. Incredibly friendly staff. If they don't have it (it's a small space), they will order it for you. I did this with pulpo (octopus) and it was in perfect shape. Highly recommended read more

Pre breaded clam strips were terrible. The fish was okay and the fish sandwich was so small it only took about 4 bites to eat. Definitely won't go back. Maybe they're fresh crab is good but I will never find out. read more

Great food and love the small town customer service! Crab cakes and cream of crab soup is always my go-to!

Hurrah for perfectly fried cod on a fresh baguette-like roll! However to me, "fish and chips" connotes what we Americans call "french fries" rather than the bag o'chips provided. If I'd had more time in Centreville, I'd have definitely gone back to pick up some of the lovely looking raw fish for dinner. O La! My request to Bay Shore is to keep up to keep up the good work, and please change take out containers to a recyclable type. read more

This place is so darn cute! It's in this quaint little town that's reminiscent of Mayberry. Bay Shore is a tiny shop on a tiny little street with a couple other shops. It's very clean and decorated in a modern way. The staff are super friendly and most importantly, the food is wonderful. The crab cakes are to die for! But be warned, one will not be enough. The prices are great, especially when compared with quality of the seafood that you get. If you ever cross the bay bridge don't even think about it, just map your way to Bay Shore and thank me later. read more

We had the Sampler combo and the shrimp salad wrap, along with Cole slaw. Everything was very fresh! Would go back again anytime.

To be honest, we came across this place by accident, as the other places to eat in the area were closed on Sunday. However, we were not disappointed. I had the shrimp salad wrap and my wife had the crab cake (fried) sandwich. The shrimp salad was very fresh and you could really taste the shrimp. The crab cake was very, very good. One of the better ones my wife has eaten. We hope to stop by again in the future and try some of their other items. read more

Best fresh seafood in and around Centreville, Md. Great & super friendly service with very reasonable prices. Be sure to check out their steam pot concept it's 2nd to none! read more

This local seafood shop not only has very fresh seafood in stock, in impressive variety, but they will prepare a take-home steam pot, with your choice. The we ordered a Chesapeake pot, for our first visit, and the experience was fantastic! Everything was ready when we arrived, and the directions were clear. Definitely check it out! read more

Great seafood. Take out dinners are excellent. The steamed shrimp have great flavor. You must try it.

I always tout this place as having the best fish and chips I ever ate, but when a friend recommended them for the crab cakes, just had to try. Picked them up and cooked at home for dinner with 7 others, and the crab cakes were a unanimous hit! Even the kids gave unsolicited raves about it. Gulf shrimp is always a hit also!! read more

Cannot say enough good things about Bay Shore Steam Pot. We order multiple steam pots per year. They are a staple at our Nascar camping events. Bay Shore even went out of there way to hand deliver the snow crab legs to Dover, DE when they were left out of our order! They will ALWAYS have our business! read more

Been buying here for 5 years or more. Great seafood, prices and service. Bay Shore Steam Pot is a great family owned spot in Centreville. They also have great Maple Turkeys for Thanksgiving. Another local business that is wonderful to have in the community. :-) read more

Tried this place on a trip to Maryland. Everything was delicious and well prepared. Definitely worth making a trip!

Great place to great fresh seafood at a good price. I love their steam pots, and all of the fresh fish. Always a great selection of fresh fish and seafood. read more

Great little take out seafood place. I had a crab cake sandwich that was phenomenal! My coworker had the shrimp salad sandwich that was also amazing! I will defiantly be back when I am in the area. read more

We stopped on a whim, it's a seafood store that also serves take out. The crab cakes I had were as good as any I have ever had, they were delicate, and loosely made with just the right seasoning to accent the local fresh caught crab. Finally they had the largest pieces of lump crab I have ever seen in a crab cake, luscious and delicious. read more

Best oyster I've ever had and I've had a lot. Definitely be back. Husband got clam strips and said they were just as good. You won't be disappointed however bear in mind take out only. read more

Best fresh seafood on the shore. The owners are very friendly and go out of their way to ensure great customer service. Highly recommend.

This place is a gem. The best crab cakes, great fresh fish, charming storefront. The people who work there are really nice too.

The best crab cakes around! I don't even make my own anymore since theirs are so good and reasonably priced!
