Seaview Crab Company Midtown Wilmington Retail Seafood Market

We were in town for a sports tournament and was looking for a good place to get seafood. We found this place based on Yelp reviews. When we walked in, we weren't sure what to expect. It is largely a seafood market. And the smell of fresh seafood was a bit overpowering ...so be ready! But at the same time, we had a feeling the food was going to be very good. After taking some time to browse the menu, we ordered a few different items, including one of the dishes on the specials board. The young man who took our order worked with us to ensure my son's food would be gluten free. We opted to wait in the car while we waited for our food. There are a couple of tables inside if you prefer that instead. There was a steady stream of people coming in, which was a good sign. It was a decent wait, b

I love seaview, being a customer for yearssss for their consistency, wide selection and friendly service. Primarily for blue crabs, but I also purchase other seafood at times. However the last few times I’ve been disappointed. The previous 2x they sold out of crabs b4 I got there. Mind you it’s 10-11am!! I drive from Cumberland county-and call prior to leaving to make sure they have what I want. The first time I was like awe shucks and told them geez I drove here bc you said you had some. Now I understand selling out so I could not really be upset. Then it happened again…I begged and pleaded prior to arriving to prepay so I wouldn’t make the long trip for nothing, but they do not allow that for ‘Jimmy’ crabs is what I was told. Again, can’t be upset, just my luck. This weekend when

Best fried okra anywhere! Sometimes I come in and just order the okra to go. Today I ordered the okra platter $16.95 with fried oysters and coleslaw. So much okra I couldn’t even eat it all! Today it was over salted but I was in a hurry so I didn’t time for a redo. Their food truck is awesome too!

Super friendly staff and great food. Fresh seafood for sale at a great price! Knowledgable staff is quick to answer questions with a smile. Definitely a great place to get Fresh raw seafood or a dinner plate. Large portions cooked very nicely! Not fancy one bit, but definitely should be on your list to visit!

If you want, sit down with tablecloths and candles, this ain't it... if you want great shrimp; Blue grabs steamed four different ways; great local fish... while sitting at a picnic table... this is your place
