Best clam strips & fries box in the Bowie area. Seriously, this is a tiny little carryout, run by the same family for 20+ years. It's clean and the food is quick. The fried fish is tasty, and I like the way they butterfly their shrimp (makes them extra crunchy and insures the shrimp are properly cleaned). Still my go to when I'm in this area is the clam strip box. Heck, I even have my picky granddaughter eating them. She wanted to know why they put a slice of bread in the box. Once I asked if the food was still crispy she laughed and said Ohhh, I get it! Give this place a try if you're in the area.

Worst crabs I have seen in awhile. They lied to us and sold us what they called large. They gave use 3 'large' and 3 small crabs for $50!!! Outrageous! I sent the a picture and they said they were large. The were light and had no seasoning! They wanted us to drive back to them before they would give us any credit even though they saw the picture. They didn't care! We were ripped off! I will not go back there again! You should NOT go to this restaurant!! TERRIBLE!

Used to be my go-to-place for good fried seafood, but no more.
Not sure when they did it, but they've SIGNIFICANTLY downsized on the 21 shrimp box. I was last here about three weeks ago and left satisfied. Today, on July 31, 2018, I left disgusted.
What used to be a nice mix of large and meaty shrimp is now a bag of miniature salad shrimp from the Landover Walmart. You can clearly TASTE the difference, and it isn't good at all.
Of course, the pricing doesn't reflect this at all. You'll be paying more for LESS, since prices are now much higher and customer service (or lack thereof) is absolutely terrible.
Won't be back unless they get their act together (and I likely won't be interested in finding out if they have).Helpful 32Thanks 0Love this 21Oh no 0 - Heather H.College Park, MD13170166May 7, 2020
So I am a BIG CRAB lover and decided to stop by this place since it's impossible to go to my favorite spot during this pandemic. But when your a seafood freak you have to do what you have to do. Since I wasn't finials with this place I only got a half dozen of crabs so glad THATS ALL I GOT. The crabs looked bad smelled and needless to say I lost $29 on some bullshit. Never ever get crabs from here you will not be satisfied. They aren't even mediocre. Stay far away

I randomly had a craving for shrimp and crab legs last night (because...pregnancy) and I found this place on Yelp. My husband and I ordered 1lb of crab legs and 1lb of large shrimp. I was not disappointed. After an almost 30 minute drive home the shrimp were perfect temperature and so were the crab legs with hot butter. Good food, decent prices, I'll definitely be returning next time those cravings hit!
At the last minute, my husband ordered a crab cake that could've stayed there. It wasn't expensive, at all, but it wasn't the most delicious either.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Tara W.Greenbelt, MD1066511Feb 8, 2020
During crab season a good place to grab three dozen. The salmon with rice dish is good. Not your spot for fried fish though...

Not bad. The crabcake sandwich is kind of dry. It comes with fries and coleslaw. It was enough for two people actually.
I'm going to try something different next time. The lady at the front desk was nice. Super friendly and had several suggestions.
Maybe I will get some crabs because everyone says they're good from here.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
