Mr. Bill's Fresh Seafood - Lancaster

A seafood lovers dream come true. Our main objective while in Lancaster county was to have blue claw crabs. We were going to drive to Maryland as in the past, but decided to try someplace local. Mr.Bill's Fat Crab Cafe had such rave reviews and was not far at all. Plus, it had real tables, no picnic tables, a parking lot so you didn't have to street park. We went on a Sunday at 11:00 a.m. when they opened. What a great experience! We've had crab before, but never blue claw crab. The first thing we noticed was the incredible cleanliness and no fish smell whatsoever! The place slowly started to fill up. We had our questions of what they look like. My mother and I decided to have three jumbo crabs each rather than little tiny ones. We began with our clam and corn soup. Absolutely incredible! I wanted to order a gallon of it right then and there. We also ordered some delicious cornbread which were crispy on the ends. Delicious! When the crabs arrived, we were shown how to eat them and use the mallets. Oh! Just terrific!! Plus, it's a great way to get aggression out! Haha! After the first crab, we got the hang of it. Such a fun experience and delicious as well. We looked at what other people were ordering as well. Big portions all around. Tim very nice and told us the history of his excellent establishment and was a real source of information when it comes to seafood. The people that work there are a real credit to the dining industry. It's nice to see people have pride in their work and it's infectious. The bathrooms are spotless and very convenient for handicapped and non. This was the real highlight of my restaurant experiences. It was just fantastic all the way around.I just wish I could move in.

Expensive...when purchasing any fish product now ask where its from..you don't need microscopic plastic impeded in fresh fish from out of polluted plastic infested oceans. They may not tell you but ask. Please cook all fresh fish thoroughly. Not sure if the cooking process melts micro plastic but use caution. Most vendors do not know. Beware.

This is now my go to for seafood, in Lancaster County. The staff is so friendly and helpful. They are tolerant of my questions and make some great suggestions. Never feel rushed when shopping here. The prices are fair and the quality is unquestionable. Thank you to the staff at Mr. Bills! Be sure to hit the Fat Crab for a quick bite while there. I made tacos out of the U12 shrimp and giant dry scallops. Amazing!

The fish tacos are out of this world! Very fresh and tasty!

Great staff, super fresh seafood, super clean. You wouldn't even know they sold seafood and fish by the smell of the place, it's that clean here. We're in here every week to pick up oysters. Raw shellfish isn't something you mess around with, which is why we shop here ?‍
