Make sure you have a fishing license and DE FIN # which you can get online. Crab 73 is a very nice well-maintained place. Photo-op worthy Live crabs at very reasonable prices. Crabs are heavy and meaty. I ordered a dozen #1 (large) but got 20 or so since some were #2. It was late in the day so they probably were short. I did not mind - I just made sure I got dibs on the large ones. They have an assortment of other shellfish- scallops, mussels, clams and soft shell crabs, sauces, seasonings and utensils. First time I ever got my hands on "whale" soft shell crabs so got all that was left. Debit card with no additional interchange fee.

The owners were extremely nice as well - they even gave us free samples of other food on the menu. Can't recommend enough. I don't know about the review talking about bad crabs - but from my experiences the seafood was extremely fresh and plentiful. I would actually drive from NJ just to get that soup again.

We paid $185 for crabs that were light as air and rotten! Most of them we couldn't even eat due to how rotten and disgusting they smelled once opened.

When I picked I the next day they were hot and ready exactly when I told them I'd be up. I ordered the the largest crabs they had but they all varied in size.

Things like crab legs, seafood pastas, crab cakes, etc. The employees were extremely friendly and overall everything went smoothly.
