“ I had an excellent experience at Robert’s Seafood yesterday! I arrived 30 minutes before closing to purchase 2 dozen live blue crabs. Despite the late hour, Robert made time to cook them for us. I had a lot of questions when I first arrived, and although I may have come across as a bit mistrustful, Robert patiently answered every one of them. It's clear from his reviews that Robert deals with some challenging customers, and this might make him a bit defensive at times. However, he remained professional and even took the time to chat with me while the crabs were cooking, sharing his story and how he got into the seafood business. This personal touch made the experience all the more memorable. The crabs were absolutely delicious and were quickly devoured. I also bought some of his in-house made butter, which was incredibly tasty. The pricing was up front and fair, and the quality of the seafood was top-notch. Highly recommend and will be returning! ”
