I ordered small containers of seafood salad and one broiled crab cake. My husband had Tuna BLT. We apologized to the staff that we didn't realize that they were closing because Google Maps shows that they close at 7. He's very kind and patient, and not making it a big deal. There are plenty of prepared seafood. I had tuna poke with quinoa. Great healthy way to enjoy fresh seafood. Seafood lovers, definitely check out this spot.

The 15 lbs of Salmon came in convenient (approx.) 1 lb portions. With my first lb (I have gotten 3 lbs so far) here's what I made: Karen Flam's "Grilled Gravlax". Since I hadn't the time to do a proper "cure" here's what I did: Dry-rub the clean, thawed salmon with: 1.5 tsp. Penzey's Shallot Salt 1 tsp. Penzey's Vanilla Sugar (yes, really) A few healthy shakes of granulated Garlic A few cracks of fresh black pepper LOTS of fresh or dried dill. Then, squeeze on the juice of one (or two) fresh lemons, or use 3-4 TBSP of bottled lemon juice. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 4-6 hours (I couldn't wait any longer) - ideally - cure longer (and add some juniper berries - I didn;t have any). Heat a skillet with 1-2 tsp of good olive oil and pan-grill (or use a real grill or grill pan). I seared mine (First with skin side down, then flipped and seard the flesh side). Slice thinly and serve. Do not over cook! My 6 year old gobbled up the small slice I gave her and asked for more right away. She proceeded to eat about 4 oz!

The…read morebroccoli was over cooked, the potatoes were the small white ones (when I thought seafood platters came with the red potatoes) the corn was over cooked and seemed to be frozen, the crab was very meatless and also seemed to had been frozen for a while, and placed in the microwave adding the butter and garlic. 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....

Yum! Very Yum! Everything was steamed well, with none of the veggies being overly soggy. The potatoes were surprisingly perfect. The snow crab was a little on the salty side because it soaked up too much of the brine or boil or whatever it was cooked in. The shrimp were delicious, you need to peel them yourselves though. The cocktail sauce was probably the best i've ever had. There were chunks of tomato in it so it was a bit solid, but that probably means it's fresh made right? I loved the cocktail sauce. The Stone Crab claws were a bit on the pricey side but very good. I would probably not order the butter + old bay because there is no point. The shell is so hard that none of the seasoning gets in, you just dip it afterwards, but then it's a little too salty to dip in there. I do wish they pre-broke some of the stone crabs as the shells were super hard and required a mallet and cutting board to get to. Luckily i was eating at home so i could go to the kitchen to do this. All in all, a bit pricey, but a pretty good value.

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.

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.
