Great seafood at a fair price. Friendly and helpful staff. The Cajun crab dip is absolutely fantastic! read more

Went in with high expectations and to have an oyster cocktail for dinner later in the day- my wife had never had one of these delectable meals!Investigated our choices and found that there were unshucked oysters from the Pacific Northwest and Gulf oysters in an open bin in the refrigerated showcase. I asked where on the Gulf Coast and the reply was that the clerk did not know. Purchased several pieces of fish and then ordered the Gulf Coast oysters as I did not feel like shucking any!! I grew up in Galveston Texas and have eaten a lot of seafood- these oysters were inedible and could have severely injured an individual! Sad to say but I could have gotten better oysters from the Houston ship channel than these! The young man that waited on us should have trashed these oysters earlier. This is a business that has no regards for its customers safety!! read more

Best crab meat prices in town. This place is on par price wise for most of the seafood. I was shocked by their crab meat prices. Pricess have been skyrocketing since 2020. They have a good selection of lump types too. read more

The guy running the place was awesome, personable and really helpful when helping me out with some advice and selecting some seafood. Of the 2 lbs of snow crabs I purchased one of those pounds had literally no meat in them. It was the strangest things I've ever seen. Was like a tiny string in the eggs and claws. The Captain should talk to Mother Nature or their suppliers about that one. read more

Been going there for 20'ish years and am always pleased, whether it's tuna steaks, fresh or smoked salmon, scallops, or cajun delicacies I'm a happy camper. I've tried saving a couple bucks at Sam's/Costco/grocery stores but it's false economy for pale meat with lesser flavor. Dave's is legit! read more

Captain Dave's Seafood Market - Alaskan King Crab - Seafood Markets Near Me - Plano, Texas

I do about 2-3 boils a year, and for the last 5 years I have used Dave's. Always satisfied. They offer market pricing, and I always recommend them to anyone wanting live crawfish. The owner is super nice, and is very helpful. Love this small business! When picking up, remember to grab some Gulf shrimp and (of course) the crab dip. read more

Friendly service. Horrible live crawfish. I was told by the guy that took my order that they have fresh crawfish coming in every day. The crawfish that I was given wasn't fresh. I paid over $150 for a sack of crawfish that was half dead. UNACCEPTABLE. I had to go to Fiesta to get fresh, live crawfish that was caught the day before. If you want fresh crawfish go to Fiesta. read more

Wouldn't even give a star if that was an option. Ordered my sack of crawfish days in advance and now I'm sitting outside 40 minutes before they close to pick up my order. Lights and signs on, but the door is locked and no one is inside. I really don't understand and hope I don't get charged anything. read more

I have been coming to Captain Dave's for a few years now for my crawfish orders. They always tell you how this years crop is before ordering. I ordered 50 lbs this year and they were large and very tasty. Please remember to bring in or have your order number to expedite your check out time and those behind you. They do charge a bit more than you grocery store but the quality is worth it. I also bought a pound of crab dip that was so good with just enough spice. Will go back for my next party to buy some more of that. read more

Captain Dave's Seafood Market - The crawfish are large and tasty! - Seafood Markets Near Me - Plano, Texas

Great seafood and great service!! We will most def be ordering from them again...the oysters were really fresh.. the crab dip is the BEST!! Stuffed crab was delish. read more

Always get my live crawfish from here! They were a great large size and fresh! Highly recommend

Two men working the store were unmasked and had no sense of social distancing. A customer came in also unmasked. The store is really pretty small so there is no safe way to protect against COVID transmission in this environment. It was scary to see a food provider consider pathogen prevention so carelessly. I would love to return and support this business if they make some changes in their protocols. read more

We donated 95.00 to this so-called seafood market. He said fresh oysters are brought in weekly. These were not fresh. They were old and smelled rotten. Didn't take the chance for fear of food poisoning. DO NOT buy oysters from this place. read more

Such a great shop! Every fish you can imagine! And the crew is always so friendly, helpful, and joyful!

I'm originally from Louisiana and been in Texas since 2003, Captain Dave's is a great place to get fresh Seafood. They have a huge variety of seafood items. The catfish filets are always so good. The crabmeat dip is delightful! They also have seasonings and other South Louisiana boxed entree items (jambalaya, red beans) that are easy to cook. GEAUX check it out! read more

Very rude and not intellectually articulate. These ignorant employers tried to sale me squid and pass it as octopus then and laughed when I said octopi... like are you inarticulate I guess so if you are trying to sell me the wrong product. read more

Stopped in on way out of town on a road trip to a cabin. Grabbed a couple of lobsters, shrimp and crab dip. OMG everything was fresh and amazingly delicious. Super friendly and helpful people working there! Will definitely be back for more crab dip that I can't quit eating. Lol Glad we found this little seafood market gem! read more

Purchased somewhat live crawfish on June 26, 2021 that were supposed to be washed and graded for $148.00 but the crawfish were neither washed or graded. The crawfish had a thick build up of sand and mud they would not come off so we could not eat them. Spoke with Captain Dave the following Monday regarding the crawfish I purchased and he basically admitted that he knew that 2 or 3 sacks of the crawfish were not washed but still charged me the washed price. He also stated that there was nothing he could do after the fact. Don't waste your time or money at this place. read more

Captain Dave's Seafood Market - Dirty Crawfish - Seafood Markets Near Me - Plano, Texas

We do several boils per season, the captain always has fresh crawfish, fresh fish and shell fish. Really a great spot! You might find cheaper but never better imo. read more

The service here is bad, several of the employees are smartass and the boiled crawfish are really bad. I won't be bac.

The seafood is okay but the help is awful, surly. We've been customers for a couple years. I always want to support local business when possible.I went in today and they just acted like buttholes. I really only wanted some shrimp. Not sure why they would let their business be run this way. read more

This has to be the best seafood market in Dallas, and I have been to most. The selection is outstanding and everything I have bought here has been as fresh as if it were swimming the same day. The prices are extremely fair and much cheaper than several fish markets in town. My only complaint is that it's a 30 minute drive from my house and 30 minutes back, so I always buy as much will fit in my freezer. For me, this is the only place in Dallas, ok the Dallas area since it is in Plano. read more

I don't mind paying more, but when your quality drops on a particular item yet the price increases dramatically....there's a problem. Your settling on what your supplier is offering you and passing it onto your customers and saying they are to blame. This is not a market that's so small your limited on vendors. That is not good business! I recommended you before my order was picked up...I'm having to warn the people I referred your business to for their events/parties now. read more

Captain Dave's Seafood Market - fish on display - Seafood Markets Near Me - Plano, Texas

Got a lobster tail-(be warned that prices have gone up significantly from website) but the recommended tail was what I wanted and I appreciated the good advice..tried the gumbo-not spicy enough for me(no surprise) but too much okra(not a fan) too little shrimp,and could only find 1 piece of cod-o well next time I'll make my own...good selection of seafood and open 7 days so when the craving hits ya like it did me-go for it! read more

What a gem! I've been looking everywhere for a market that sells fresh oysters in bulk. They happen to sell it by the dozen or by the case (100 oysters/case) at a very reasonable price. They also sell them year-round. I feel like I hit the jackpot on this one! It's a very small little shop, but they do have a variety of fish and other seafoods. They had Louisiana sausage as well. The scallops here looked humongous, so I might snag a few of those for a dinner one of these nights. read more

Captain Dave's Seafood Market is amazing. The Staff is very friendly and helpful. Sharing Recipe secrets. Big selection of Seafood otherwise hard to find. I am from Houston, so I am use to going to Kemah or Clear Lake or Galveston. So this place is a treasure with a pretty good Selection. I have been there 3 times and every experience was wonderful. read more

I have been coming here for years and everyone has always been very friendly but to have to make a phone call today and get someone very rude on the phone is ridiculous. We always come here for crawfish and oysters but not anymore. It only takes one time for bad customer service. read more

Bought two sacks of crawfish for a premium price and 10% were dead and rotten. Fresh?! Highly unlikely. Probably bought it from Fiesta for $2.49 and jacked it up to $3.75. Horrible!! GO TO ANOTHER SEAFOOD MARKETS AROUND TOWN. read more

I bought some wild caught shrimp (50-60/lb) from Dave last time I was in town to make my mom's fave: "Aw Shucks Shrimp Cocktail". When I bought it, Dave said he could get me the smaller shrimp similar to what Aw Shucks uses (over 90/lb, except that it wouln't be farm raised) if I called ahead. When I came to pick it up, it was not the fresh, smaller shrimp expected, but the frozen, Asian farm raised shrimp bags I generally avoid and can find at any supermarket. (I ended up buying the frozen, small gulf shrimp at Kroger and all was well.) I will try again on my next visit, as I really prefer to frequent the individual businessperson for seafood rather than the large supermarkets. Dave does have a lot of good seafood (outside of the farm raised shrimp) at his store. read more

Woah nelly, prices are high! I really do not see what people are talking about this place being fresh--and eating fish as sashimi from here? I wouldn't feel comfortable trying it. When I walked in, there was a definitely smell of fish in the air. Fresh fish does not smell. Now, I'm not saying there wasn't some fresh fish there, there was, but most of it wasn't as fresh as it could be, and some looked downright off. I got some crazy expensive clams, $14 for one meal's worth, for one person, to put on the grill. Those were good, but I could have gotten clams for two at the local Asian market for much less, and been equally good. Guy behind the counter, (Dave?), had a bit of a snide attitude. I would not come back. read more

Cap'n Daves is a seafood specialty market just west of Hwy 75 off of Plano Pkwy in Plano. This smallish store with limited display casing has a pretty comprehensive frozen stock in the back. I like to get the flash frozen shrimp there (9-12ish count) and their fish is usually very fresh. This is also a good place to order sacks of crawfish- they only get the top quality varieties. Their prices are much better on average than Central Market or Whole Foods, but they're pricier than the Asian markets. I give four stars instead of five because their selection is somewhat limited and once, about seven years ago, I got some tuna steaks that weren't spoiled but they got mealy on the grill (probably frozen/thawed too many times). read more

Love the product.. Only thing that occasionally gets at my goat is that they definitely want to get you in and out ... Its basically a closet... read more

Great customer service!!! Thank you all so much for the crawfish 101! Your expertise helped make our first boil a huge success!! Thank you!!

I recently visited Captain Daves for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I was so excited to find a wide variety of fish. Being from New England we were really craving fish. However, I was disappointed to find that most of the fish was frozen. We decided to purchase the fish. What a bad choice. This was the most fishy, off putting fish I had ever had. This unfortunatley was a one and done trip. Stay away from the frozen counter. read more

Hands down the best live crawfish we've ever purchased. Great size and quality sold by an extremely friendly and knowledgable staff. We have purchased many times before with equal results. I also purchase their crab dip, unfortunately it never makes it home for the rest of the family. Keep up the good work. read more

I needed blue shell crabs they have them frozen pre-packaged they said 5-6 come per bag, our bag had 4 full crabs but I made the gumbo so all was well read more
