It's been over 5 years since my wife & I went here, one of our favorite seafood places in Long Beach, WA, so on my own now finally able to check it out again. I usually have the deep fried shrimp but saw someone else's 5 Star rating on the batter dipped fried shrimp tacos, and WOW!!! Three delicious prawn tacos, so far only place I've found that does the batter dipped fried prawn tacos since having them when I visited my parents in Yuma, AZ & we would go to Los Algodones, Mexico. They were the greatest, along with the little serving of chips & salsa, even the water was crystal clear with no chlorine taste. Only one waitress plus a guy helping with everything, ran the whole floor and was very responsive to everyone, even checked on me for more water. The ambience was nothing exciting, but everything including restroom were clean, would have been a 3 to 4 star except the shrimp tacos blew it out of the water, will definitely be back again... read more

Crab Pot - Batter dipped deep fried shrimp tacos was amazing, even water tasted good... - Seafood Markets Near Me - Long Beach, Washington

An interesting place. One side is a store with live and fresh seafood options and the other is a restaurant with several booths and a few table option indoors and also a fetables outdoors Service is kindly but a bit slow. Had to wait to be seated and then told to pick a table. We prefer a slice of lemon in our water and had to remind the server. We ordered both a 1-piece and a 2-piece halibut and chips with a cup of chowder. The fish & chips came out quickly. Nice and hot. The slaw is more like a carrot and cabbage salad with a slight Mexican flavor accent. I believe portions are out of balance as there was way more slaw than fish on both platters. The chowder was thick and creamy and clam forward in flavor. A good mix of celery potato and clam. If there had not been oyster crackers I would say it needed more veg & clams to give texture to the chowder base. The fish was battered and came out hot and crispy. The portions were disappointingly small with a big price. The tarter was very chunky so not great for dipping. Overall, it was good food but I don't think I would go back. read more

We really enjoyed our dinner here. The crab was so dang fresh! Ate my crab cocktail before I barely got a picture of it. The oysters were just eh. It was our first time having them so maybe it was just these oysters? They were overloaded with cheese for sure so maybe next time I would try them without the cheese. Fish was good and the clam strips were as expected. This place was EXTREMELY busy. The servers were working their butts off, but it did take a long time to get water and our bill. read more

This place has the best clam chowder in the World! It was so good we secured a quart of this yummy goodness for our trip home!! The Crab Pot is an understated little place right off Pacific Avenue in Long Beach. Service staff of one was friendly. Ambiance was understated but clean. For a Monday afternoon meal we were blown away by the freshness of the food! Will definitely be back for more! read more

Shocked to see this spot have such low reviews - my family and I were in the area for a AirBnb beach trip weekend, and visited the Crab Pot for lunch. We looooved it! Like most beach towns, the restaurant was a little dingy, but nothing terrible. One thing we wish they did have was AC - it was so hot while we were in here, and we were seated pretty close together so it was uncomfortable. Service was decent, but the food was the true star of the entire experience. I wasn't in the mood for anything too heavy so I ordered a bowl of clam chowder - which was arguably some of the best I've had. So delicious. I also tried bites of my dad's Crab Queso, which was IMPECCABLE. Also absolutely delicious was their crab quesadilla. In all of these dishes, they didn't skimp on the seafood whatsoever. All the dishes were jam packed and so good! I'm not in Long Beach often (or ever, really) but if I were to return I'd definitely come back here for lunch. Definitely worth stopping if you're passing through town. read more

Food was not very good. The clam chowder they brag about was horrible. We definitely will not be back.

The server was very friendly and attentive. We got our orders placed quickly and received our food pretty fast. We ordered the salmon sandwich and cod sandwich. They both had nice size pieces of fish. They were lightly cooked and tasted great. There are a bunch of booths and a nice, clean bathroom. It's a little small but only about half full on a summer weekday at lunch. read more

It is a seafood place with a slight Mexican feel to the food. I got the fish tacos while my friend ordered the shrimp tacos, my other chose was crab cakes. The food came quickly and I think it was delicious My tacos were pretty much how I make the at home fish , cabbage, sauces and shell. That's it. That is really all I like in my fish tacos. It had a good atmosphere ( unlike the restaurant in the moon) A lot of people getting their food for the evening. Good average space to eat. read more

I was expecting some nice grilled oysters, in garlic butter sauce, but.. I got something totally different, no butter, no garlic, but some cheese creations. Fishy taste, with some sand as well. The service was fantastic, the waitress was excellent, attentive, quick, friendly. read more

Was a bit slow to get seated but only 1 waitress fo lunch service so that made sense. After that service was good. We enjoyed our food - had cod sandwich and salmon burger. Both were every good. I would come again. read more

The food was okay at best. Clam chowder is good, the bread bowl is something else... Seafood boil is so oily the only good thing in it was the crab. Fish and chips/ chicken strips are mediocre at best. The fettuccine is watery, a very sorry excuse for Italian cuisine. I called ahead to see if they had a table for 7, got told yes, as soon as we arrived they sat us at 2 different tables, we asked to push them together being that another table had done that, got told NO by the server in a very rude manner. Took 40+ minutes to get our food, tables around us got water refills we got one in a 2 hour time period. Very poor service and horrible food. Pretty expensive for quality of food as well, restaurant its self looks decent. 10/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

We saw the Crab Pot on the side of the road and decided to give it a try because it looked like it would be a good seafood spot. There were people waiting outside to get in so we went to the the "take-out" side of the restaurant to avoid the crowd. We ordered the Halibut Fish and Chips (3 pieces) because the server recommended it. She stressed that it was not a standard menu item and asked us to confirm how many pieces we wanted. She even counted the pieces with her fingers and we thought it was a bit odd. It turns out we didn't take the hint (that maybe it was too much) and confirmed our order. The server took our order and then I realized that the 3 piece Halibut Fish and Chips meal cost me almost $40 (including tip). To be honest with ya'll, I was shocked at the price when she rang me up. This was going to be the most expensive Fish and Chips I would ever have! She told us they would bring the food to the car, so I waited in the passenger seat, still in shock. Maybe 10 minutes later, a gentleman delivered a neatly packed order to our car. I opened the box and realized that they gave us three large filets of Halibut. Each piece was probably big enough for one person on their own. When I bit into the Fish, the batter was light and crispy and the fish itself was moist. The fries were good too! I am really picky and passionate about fries and I think they are excellent! After we finished the meal, it dawned on me that despite the sticker shock, we got a lot of high quality fish for the money. I just wish the server would have have communicated the portions and price better because we could have ordered a smaller amount or been prepared for the big bill. Overall, I'd recommend the place IF you know what you are getting yourself into to avoid some frustration, or in my case, sticker shock! read more

Service was good. But if you are looking for really good Seafood, skip it. Was just okay.

We moved to the peninsula five months ago and have tried this place three times. Last Saturday evening we went to give it another try. My wife ordered a fresh crab dinner from the specials board and I had a grilled cod sandwich. The crab was small and lacked flavor, the small portion of mashed potatoes was so salty it wasn't even edible, and the vegetables were overcooked. My sandwich was "just okay." Service was only average. The staff looked frumpy and were uninspiring. The layout and ambiance of this place are a bit weird. From the parking lot, you walk in past a virtually empty, sterile-looking seafood market room. Inside, while seated at a booth, you sit under a bright, harsh, bluish light that's very distracting. After three tries we decided we wouldn't go back here. Not a good value. There's a reason why, on a Saturday night, when other good places in town are packed--they were only half full. read more

Always been curious about this place and just got a chance to try it with the new owners. Service was friendly & knowledgeable. Menu options were plentiful & reasonably priced. The bar area looked inviting although we couldn't partake as we had our teenage daughter with us but we will be back. Recommend stopping by & giving it a shot. read more

Food was YUM YUM. We had the crab queso and crab enchiladas. Both were amazing. And for the price we couldn't believe the mass amount of lump crabmeat we got it was terrific and well worth the price. We were sad to see the place empty besides us. The waitress was nice but kept going in and out to smake and made the place smell like cigaretts a bit. read more

I visited Long Beach yesterday after a 2.5 hr drive and decided to stop here. Ordered the shrimp tempura tacos and let me tell you, they DID NOT DISAPPOINT! They were up there with some of the best tacos I've ever had. There were 2 gigantic shrimp that completely filled the taco and delish slaw on top. They were huge and tasty! I knew I had to come back here and leave a review and let me tell you I was shocked to see the low rating. I'm glad I gave this place a shot without looking at the yelp reviews because I will definitely be back the next time I visit. The server was so sweet and the food came out quick! I will say, it was pretty empty when we first arrived and then it got super busy so I am not sure how they do with busy crowds. read more

Oh my goodness. I joined friends, visiting from Hood River, for lunch yesterday and they had and loved, crab cakes as an appetizer and then the crab melt. Both were fabulous! But I think I got the best meal. No appetizer for me. Battered shrimp tacos was my choice! Wow! I'm going back tomorrow and order the same thing. I couldn't eat all 3 but I picked out the best stuff of that 3rd one I'll tell you. The waitress as attentive without intruding on our conversations. read more

Very nice lunch on a quick visit to a foggy Long Beach after getting stuck in the sand while driving on the beach. Had the grilled oyster starter and the crab ceviche entree. Both courses were very good and well appreciated after getting back on solid ground. I was not looking for ambiance but the place is nice enough and the friendly service was well appreciated. read more

I walked in and waited to be seated. For an early evening arrival, I didn't wait too long. The starter arrived well before my burger and fries. I took half of my burger togo and ate all of the clams. I would stop here again. read more

Crab Pot - Steamer clam special - Seafood Markets Near Me - Long Beach, Washington

My family and I were visiting for the 4th of July, and really wanted some good seafood! I was extremely disappointed in the quality of food here. I ordered the fish & chips, and it was horrible. My husband and mom had the seafood trio, which was even worse! The food is very overpriced for the low quality of food being served here. Do not come here if you want good seafood! read more

The food is really so-so at best - but was fine for a late dinner after driving 4 hours to get to Long Beach. The server was great and it seems the place was very understaffed. I would recommend this place as long as you want good service and ok food. read more

When we went to eat dinner at the Crab Pot there weren't too many people there. However, they appeared to be very short staffed. The waitress cleaned a table off so we could be seated. Then it took several minutes before she returned to take our order. We got the crab cakes which were good. We also had the crab enchiladas which were good but my husband found several little bones. We didn't get a ticket so we went to the register to pay. There was some confusion about that as well. The food tasted good but the restaurant needs better organization. read more

We decided to go here after Pickle Fish was overbooked. Glad we did!! Service in the bar was friendly and fast. Made my wife's drinks perfectly (and that Never happens!!) I had a Becks NA beer. I decided on pan-fried Halibut with mashed potatoes and veggies. My wife had shrimp tempura tacos! So, my halibut was excellent, light and crispy, My wife's tacos were spot-on authentic!! She's a connoisseur in taco eating! We were very pleasantly surprised at the quality and deliciousness of the meal, as we'd been here years ago and it was just okay. Good job, Crab Pot!!! read more

I'm not sure what's up with the three and a half stars here but this is some of the best seafood our family has ever shared and indulged in ! Im five staring it! Great and kind service too and clean. You can tell it's an older joint so we were pleasantly surprised at the service we received! read more

So, we stopped here because the other place was busy. Just eat at McDonald's, it's faster and just as flavorless. The halibut has zero flavor. The fries are your basic reheated frozen fries. The only thing that had any flavor between our two dishes was the tartar sauce and it wasn't a good taste. The service was lacking because they only have one person. The place itself wasn't terrible. Big booths, classic country music. Do avoid the bathroom if you don't like having sticky shoes or the smell of a fresh dump. read more

Walking in, there is a STRONG fishy smell. The service isn't great and the staff seem rude and impatient. We sat down and quickly decided to just get some fries and a beer and leave. The fries were nothing special. Multiple tables had complained about their food during the meal so we decided not to order food and go somewhere else. read more

I ordered the oyster chowder and a pound of crab legs. It was my first time ever eating both of those items. I had great expectations for the oyster chowder but I guess there's a reason clam chowder is more famous The chowder was rather salty and it wasn't bad but it didn't amount to what I was hoping. The crab legs were great and I had a hard time finishing it all by myself but I somehow managed to do it. I do recommend the crab, it's fresh and tasty, wouldn't mind coming back here! read more

Very good prices and selection, went for lunch and was surprised to find many Mexican dishes available as well!

Upon walking up to the door, we read the sign that asks us to wait outside if there was a customer at the counter which there was. We waited for approximately 4 minutes. When you walk in, there is a small menu at the the counter where you order then get seated. The food was just okay and prices are EXPENSIVE. Because of that we won't be back. The food wasn't good enough to justify the price. read more

Service was great. I think the kitchen is at a disadvantage as the veggies tasted frozen and the peel & eat shrimp were mealy from being reheated. The side of mashed potatoes was tiny, instant ,which can be good, but these were so dry. I've never needed a water chaser for mashed potatoes before. My dungeness crab was cooked perfectly but lacked seasoning. read more

We went here on Tuesday 12/26 Ordered steamer clams,and got very sick immediately after leaving the resturant,for 4 days, I messaged the business & they never responded to my messages, they also ignored my Facebook post about this, Shame on them I'm a local here, I was able to get home & be sick at home, I can't imagine getting food poisoning while on vacation here!! Don't go here just do yourself a favor & go to any of the other restaurants in long beach, This place management team is a joke! read more

If I could give this zero stars I would. We were not even acknowledged by anyone even when we were standing right in front of the table. No "we'll be right with you" or anything. Absolutely, totally ignored. Unacceptable. So unfortunately I can't say anything about the food first-hand... my cousin ate here and said they were out of something and whatever else she had it was not up to the family's seafood standards. read more

Our second visit last night and we sat in the "bar" part for dinner. One server who was friendly and busy. Had a good bottle of Washington red wine to accompany our meal. Started with a cup of clam chowder, good creamy flavor and chunks of potato, bacon and clams. Husband had the shrimp pasta, he liked the creamy sauce, large shrimp and just enough food. I had the salmon, shrimp and crab platter with mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables, fantastic. We noticed one couple who left when they were not greeted by waiter within the first five minutes- to bad they missed a good meal. The place was busy one waiter in bar and one out front, be patient it is worth the wait. read more

Took my parents here because their food used to be good. My father (a fisherman) ordered halibut fish and chips at the peak of halibut season. The fish was not fresh. It was extremely fishy smelling and tasting. Unseasoned batter, and dry as hell. I ordered salmon fish and chips. An old favorite. The waitress explained that it was no longer on the menu (even though it is online and was the main reason I wanted to eat there). But the "chef" agreed to make it for me. Again, unseasoned, fishy and dry. I think the salmon was cooked before it was battered and fried. At a coastal seafood restaurant, there is no excuse to not serve fresh fish. And at a hefty $80 bill when the other 2 guests had chicken, I expect better. read more

Short staffed, service was so bad and unfriendly we left, did not even get a chance to try the food.

sign on the door states "due to government handouts" they are short staffed and ppl aren't coming to work so you'll have to wait for the register to clear before entering and they can't serve over a party of 6. Guess they aren't considering ppl don't want to work for slave wages a d risk dying with Covid. take your restaurant and shove it. We walked away and will NEVER BE BACK read more
