The Crab Plant Seafood Market in Crystal River has fresh Seafood for sale since January 1, 2014. Located on Kings Bay at the head of the Crystal River, in Crystal River Florida. They own and operate their own boats and bring in fresh catches daily. They carry stone crabs, grouper, shrimp and fresh local fish. Remember to bring your cooler!

The good first: Server was very attentive, food came out quickly, food was hot. They were busy but still ran a good process. The not so great: The shrimp were fried (only way they would come with the trio) a little too long. Kinda tough. Not uneatable, so I didn't complain to the restaurant. The cheese grits needed significant salt. The portion sizes were on the small end given the price. Across the board the food was average in flavor and seasonings from those items I tasted from my families trays and mine - was hoping for a bit more. They only take cash (clearly posted so not really complaining but would rather pay with card - so just a preference).

Had a wonderful dinner tonight. The Marker 48 Red Ale was great, the smoked mullet dip is a special kind of amazing and the crab cakes and grilled red shrimp were delicious. Our server Jessica was awesome! We will definitely be back.

O M Goodness. This place. Unbelievable. Fabulous dinner tonight. Started with a cup of chowder each. Real good. Wife, Crab Cake Sandwich. Awesome!! Me, Low Country Boil. Best I've ever had without a doubt. Service, Kelly. We sat at the bar. A couple beers for me, wife wine. Excellent. 5 star all the way. Price. Cheap for all we ate and we have leftovers.
