    Drove 1.5 hours to see what is this place about. We ordered Dungeness crabs, oysters, cat fish, basa and jumbo prawns. We asked for it to be fried. We waited 45 mins.. oh boy it was worth the wait! The seafood are all fresh ! The seasoning was perfect, it was crunchy and not greasy. The whole tray cost about $140 The guy who picked our fresh seafood was very helpful and super nice Parking is very challenging, we parked about a block away but it wasn't a big deal . The place is very clean and not fishy despite all the seafood being served. Anyways, it wasn't worth the drive and the calories lol! Will definitely coming back

    Large Scallops, jumbo tiger shrimp and okra. I'd already ate the soft shell crab.

    Haven't been here is a long time. Decided to get some fried shellfish. Service was friendly, place is packed with any bean or rice associated with Cajun cooking. Place was well organized. I bought the large scallops, jumbo tiger shrimp, a soft shell crab and okra. It was a lot of food. I asked for a light fry. Food came out looking delicious. Got home and shared. Everything tasted as good as it looks.

    Can I just say, that I love the play of words with the name, SoulTrans. For those who know..know. This was my first time here and was happy that my cousin introduced this spot to me. I needed some crab for gumbo but the prices were so expensive everywhere else. The guys there were helpful and fast. Not to mention that I got a great price for a few halves on cleaned Dungeness Crab. SoulTrans reminded me of the neighborhood butcher growing up but with benefits. One of the benefits is you can pick a piece of seafood and they would fry it for you while one waited. As they say..."Buy...We Fry" I don't live close to SoulTrans Seafood but I will make it a field trip to cross a couple of bridges and go back.

    Basa Fish 1/2 lb - Flaky tender fish, good seasoning, recommended!

    Great customer service by all workers. I got quite the variety for my first visit. Had this place bookmarked ever since I saw it featured on a foodies IG. Oysters are from a jar kept on ice, medium sized but not particularly flavorful., mine were dry and not juicy as it should be. Not recommended Basa Fish - Flaky, not greasy coating, seasoning leans slightly salty but almost perfect. Recommended! Jumbo tiger shrimp - Delicious, love the lightly dusted breading, recommended! Crab Cake- Tasteless,, needs an entirely new recipe, not recommended. Soft Shell Crab - 5 stars and the true winner of everything I tried. Perfectly fried,, crispy yet juicy and flavorful with full crab freshness flavor. Under $6 each, highly recommended! See you again guys, thanks!

    Well worth the wait. We've gone here a few times to buy seafood. It's always clean, the food is always tastes fresh. The staff is always pleasant and respectful. I've been waiting to do the 'you buy we fry option' and I'm so glad I did. We got jumbo prawns, basa fish, hush puppies and fried corn. Everything was cooked perfectly. The hush puppies were well flavored and seasoned. Fried corn coated in cheese is definitely an experience to be had. The store portion has everything you could possibly need: batter, sauces, boils, lemons, potatoes, pickles, fruit cobbler batter, candy and more. They even had a TV playing Sunday football. The Mister was happy to watch the Raiders clinch their second win of the season while we waited. They were crowded and it took about 50 min to get our food. Next time I would order, go run errands, and then return to pick up my delicious eats.

    It's been awhile that I've wanted to try this place out. I wish I had come here sooner! OMG! The crunch did not disappoint! Cooked to perfection! They had all the seafood and more you could ask for. Great prices! The gentlemen working there were so friendly and helped me put my order together because it could get overwhelming with all the choices. You just want it all!! The store doesn't smell like seafood or fried food so that's good. Not gonna lie, being here for the first time, the neighborhood looked a little sketchy but everyone was so nice. No tables or seating so this is a cook and take home, or if you're like everyone else, it's cook and eat in your car! Our mouths were watering! If you're looking for seafood boil or fry ingredients, they seem to have it all! Parking is kind of hard if it's busy so it is advisable to come during the week or be patient. Worth the wait.

    Craved it!

    Worth it!! Love the customer service, patience, and food always great! Nothing we can do with the parking, but always with the walk LOL

    Finally was able to try this place out. All I wanted for my birthday was to BBQ some oysters! We will definitely be back to order a bag of oysters for our next BBQ but definitely have to order fresh seafood. Everything is reasonably priced. Very cute market. The neighborhood is a little rough, but coming from the City, no big deal lol Helps to have a driver because finding parking is hard if there is nothing available in their lot.

    I ordered on DoorDash and picked it up. Didn't realize it was set up like a fish market, you pick the items you want fried, and then they fry it. I think that makes the taste/flavor so good! I got the catfish nuggets, fried okra, and fries. They're generous with the portions! They had a lot of people working and they seemed busy but my food was ready faster than I thought it would be. This might be my new fried fish spot in town! For reference in my photos, the photos of the food in their individual bags were taken after I made my plate. It's a lot of food for a GREAT price.

    First time here after all the hype. Worth it! Food was great! First walking it, gave a southern fish market vibe. Filled with a bunch of boil seasonings. Service guy recommended some great selections and ways to cook them. Bought the soft shell crab that didn't last the walk back to the car. Cat fish fillet and crab cake with the soft shell crab with all with the basic seasoning just to get a baseline of their seasoning. And everything were great! I definitely would take another trip for the other selections

    If you can find a park in the parking lot, you're good to go... if not, maybe come back when there is parking! Not the best area, but I'm willing to risk it for the food. Service is super quick and nice!! The seafood is always fried fresh and has amazing flavor. The jumbo prawns, Basa, calamari, hush puppies, and fried okra are amazing. The only thing I wish is they fried the fish a little bit harder, because I like my fish crunchy. But that does not take away from Trans at all !!! 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend. Pictures to come, as I'm On my way to pick up my food now. Looking forward to trying their fried crab and onion rings!!!

    This place is unique. We came in after watching a instagrammer post his food while eating on the hood of his car. I saw that he ordered seafood at this market. And then they battered it and fried it. This concept is fun and it makes me feel closer to the seafood. You know? Like this is what seafood looks like before it's cooked. Between my bf and me, we just kept ordering. We bought one pound of each of these things Basa, catfish, soft crab shell, crab legs, and fried ochra. I definitely think I won't oder crab legs again. It was too tough to eat and the meat is I think we ordered enough for 6 people. So we had about 4 huge servings left, which we brought home. We got everything in a tray, so it stayed hot while we ate it in the car. It was amazing. If you've never eaten hot and fresh fried seafood, you have to try it. It burned our fingers lol.

    It was good. Customer service was outstanding, we were greeted and helped by an amazing employee who answered questions and made recommendations when needed. Food was good. Tasty, if you liked things crispy! Flavorful and well, tasty!! I forgot to order my Dungeness! But the soft shell was delish! Not much ambiance & no places to sit down to eat. But we took a short drive and made it work. Created a little sampler plate with all the stuff.

    I am submitting this complaint regarding an unprofessional and unacceptable customer service…read moreexperience I had with Bag O' Crab in Vallejo, California. On 4/14/26 at 6:45pm I placed an order with this establishment. After receiving my food, I encountered an issue with my order. I called the restaurant to address the problem and seek a resolution. When my call was answered, the employee did not initially identify herself. I had to ask for her name, at which point she stated her name was Jasmine. I found it unprofessional that she did not provide a basic introduction when answering the phone. I then requested to speak with a manager regarding my complaint. Jasmine refused to provide the manager's name when I asked, which immediately raised concerns about transparency and accountability. After insisting, I was eventually transferred to the manager. Once the Manager came to the phone his introduction was bag o crab, I asked for his name. The manager refused to provide his name when asked. For appropriate customer service and documentation purposes I needed to know who I was speaking with but he continued to refuse. Shortly after I requested his name again, the manager rudely refused and hung up on me.This behavior was extremely unprofessional and disrespectful. At no point was I provided with assistance, or any effort to resolve the issue with my order. This experience demonstrated a complete lack of customer service, accountability, and professionalism. Refusing to identify oneself as a manager and hanging up on a customer attempting to resolve an issue is unacceptable. My order was horrific. My experience was horrific and I wasted my money.
