"Although we just came in for clams it was a well equipped store that also sells steaks. No trigger fish but the Tuna looked excellent. The Tuna Steaks came from the outer banks."

"This was my first time trying soft shell crab. I really wanted to like it but it was kinda salty. The fried shrimp barely had any breading or anything on it was pretty plain the fries didn’t have salt which shocked me seeing how the crab had plenty of salt it was okay I paid $30 I wouldn’t recommend"

"We were craving a variety boil and not wanting to cook after a long day in the sun. This was a great option already cooked and ready to go, albeit pricey ($176 for dinner for 4 with 2 lbs shrimp, 2 dz clams, sausage for 4 and 2 snow crab clusters). Sadly, we got home to find the clams uncooked thoroughly. See pics. We had to remove them and finish cooking to open them and some sand it got in the rest of our food we noticed while taking them out to fix. Frustrating and taste was bland due to not cooking in the seasoning we ordered. Some never opened indicating they were bad. We called them, but their VM was full.
We stopped by the next day around noon to share our experience and the older woman with very short hair at the ordering side of the desk denied this happening. We showed her pictures. She then says clams don’t open when cooked; they are opened by someone when we order them out. We are not new to clams. We are aware bad ones won’t open, but the good ones always do to indicate cooked and ready. This was not the response we expected and were taken back by the experience. If you don’t know, say that; it’s ok! Mistakes happen, that would have been ok too and just try to make it right. This denial and telling us we are wrong is just poor customer service.
You guys have a good thing going there, a clean place and the crab and shrimp was amazing…get everyone on board with appropriate customer service as the vacation season keeps ramping up.
Last pic is Snapperz clams the next day showing how EVERYONE else serves their cooked clams. Take note!"
