I’ve been getting blue crabs from Rusty’s for 2 years and they have never disappointed me! Always delivers what they advertise!! Nice big and heavy crabs!! You guys really make our family gatherings special!!! Thank you!!

Rusty crabs went over and beyond. I was vacationing on St Helena. We went out fishing earlier in the day and caught some flounder and a handful of crab, but didn’t have enough for our meal. I stopped by and Brett hooked me up with some more blue crabs. They hit the spot perfectly. Highly recommend!

Just know that even if it says open according to Google, they may or may not be available. Also, you have to drive through a run down trailer park and customer parking is just eh... wherever? Not much in the way of directional signage and to call this a seafood market, is being extremely generous. I've bought lots of seafood from lots of roadside stands and vendors. Most rundown, confusing place I've been yet to be seafood. Curious as to their food safety rating now.

I got the blue crabs they were great! I called to check their availability and they didn’t answer they ended up texting me back. I let them know what I wanted (male blue crabs) and they asked me to let them know what time I was coming and to call when I got there. I arrived and had to drive to the back . The guy was friendly and the crabs were big and meaty.
