    6 crab cakes in tin.
    Dorene R.

    This place came up in my Facebook feed and I Liked & Followed them for months. I finally got the chance to get there. The address came up in my GPS and took me "over the river (literally) & through the woods to grandmothers house we go". Actually there's a shorter way from EHT to get there, now that I know. It's a cute little shop with refrigerators & Freezers behind the counter & fresh iced displays of fish in the front. All seafood on display was appetizing. I just came for the homemade crab cakes. They packaged the tin in ice. I sautéed them in a pan when I got home. They were fresh & tasty. Watch out for an occasional shell fragment! I prefer large lumps of crab in my crab cakes. These have none. Just so you know. They were more crab than filler but no chunks of crab. For the price I would buy again. I noticed they had a lot of breaded seafood in the refrigerators & Freezers; breaded oysters too. Time to get out the air fryer. I will have to try next time. Very nice staff, some mercantile to accompany your fish & seafood too. Covid compliant too. Neat little take out shop next door with seating overlooking the river. Worth the trip.

    Little neck steamers, NO GRIT!!!

    Awesome local spot for some great quality seafood! Fresh is a huge understatement. We crossed paths with a local fisherman who told us this is where his catches are sold. As seafood lovers, a stop by this place was a must. We ordered little neck steamers, a lobster tail, crab cake and sushi grade tuna. We were recommended to try the clams casino but they didn't have any left when we went, which was a bummer but we will definitely be back for them. When we got home we cooked up the steamers and lobster tail. I have to say I am SO impressed with both. The steamers had ZERO grit. Even from other local spots, I have never ordered a bag of steamers that didn't have grit so this alone showed how great of quality their seafood is. The lobster was imported from Maine and after cooked absolutely delicious. My biggest note about this review are the prices! You literally can't beat them. If you are in town, swing by and give them a try. I can tell you right now the next time our family needs seafood, this is where it will be from!

    They don't look too appetizing do they?

    OMG. Look at these cherry stones that I bought from River Road Clam House. I bought some middle necks and they were awesome. But the cherrystones ? WTF!

    I bought two of their frozen crab cakes for my husband's dinner and they sure didn't disappoint.

    Really amazing service. They were still cooking and serving patrons up until the last minute of…read moreclosing. I ordered the clam platter. Delicious and fresh. Excellent prices. I'd love to return to pick up fresh fish as well as the fish sandwich which seems popular. Also tried the hush puppies. They were ok. I just prefer a more traditional southern with crispy fried breading. I definitely recommend if you are in the area. Nice selection of sodas and drinks as well.

    Came here to get some fried seafood while on a staycation to AC…read more Barbera Seafood Market has been around for close to 100 years. We have been to it plenty of times in our over 30 years of visiting AC and we have never been disappointed. The ambiance is cosy with nautical themed items decorating the walls. They have limited seating in the small establishment, with the best option being sitting at the counter at the window to people watch while enjoying your seafood items. We are always greeted by pleasant staff. They have daily specials and feature a seafood case filled with a variety of fresh seafood items that you can literally pick and they will prepare in store or you can choose to purchase to go. Our go to is the flounder and fish platter, which comes with house made slaw and fries, and either a side of fried clams or oysters. The platter also comes with a canned soda, which you get to pick the flavor choice from the beverage case. We always enjoy our food in store and are always luck enough to grab a few seats. The flounder and shrimp platter was fresh and crispy, with a light coating that did not take away from the delicate taste of the fish and shrimp. The slaw was fresh and an ok side. The fries were crispy and nothing was greasy. The oysters were fried well and when bitten, popped with a nice, fresh taste. And don't worry my MD folks, they have Old Bay to dust your food (which I really appreciate!). We suggest coming as soon as they open or call your order in ahead of time to avoid the long line that forms. All in all, our go to seafood spot when visiting AC.
