Salty Wave Seafood Market - Harrington

Last week, my wife and I decided to stop by for Memorial Day weekend. She was craving fresh steamed crabs, so we ordered a dozen large ones for her while I opted for crab cakes, fried oysters, and cream of crab soup, along with potato salad and corn on the cob. Unfortunately, the meal was quite disappointing. The crabs were small, and many were missing claws—one even had no legs at all. The crab cakes were over-seasoned and mostly filler. The fried oysters had a rubbery texture and seemed far from fresh, although one was barely acceptable in taste. The cream of crab soup lacked flavor and had very little crab meat; only an excessive amount of Old Bay made it somewhat palatable. We both tried the potato salad but couldn’t finish it. The highlight of the meal was the corn on the cob, which was served in the husk and packed with excellent flavor. I’m not sure if our experience was due to the busy holiday weekend or if it reflects a decline in quality moving forward. Given how poor the meal was, we might not return for a while, as it seems they were aware of the subpar food being served.

No response when attempting to place an order over the phone.

I ordered 24 female items today, but they were old and spoiled with a really bad smell. I ended up having to throw them out.

I tried to call, but the girl just pretended not to understand. This is the third time I've received spoiled crabs. They will never get my business again.
