ABOUT US

   Dockside Seafood, LLC is a small business located in Callao, Virginia. Our family-owned new business offers quality seafood products and exceptional customer service.  We pride ourselves on providing the customers the best. We even catch and sell our own Blue Crabs, the primary product offered at Dockside.

   At our store you can watch us cull the crabs and put them in the pot! Each order is hand picked and culled for quality control so you get the perfect order each and every time. *Note: To ensure freshness, we don't keep cooked crabs on hand. We only cook to order. So give us a call or stop in!

  

   Crabs can be ordered in amounts of dozens, half bushels, and bushels. Categories are #1 males (largest and heaviest), #2 males (slightly smaller and/or lighter), and #3 females. Cook times vary from order to order and pot availability will also determine pickup time. If started when ordered, whole bushels take about 45 minutes to an hour from sorting to bagging. Half bushels take 20-30 minutes; and dozens take 10-15 minutes. We don't charge to cook or season our crabs. We use J.O. #2 or Old Bay at amounts of light, medium, or heavy per customer request.

​

   Softshell crabs are brought in every morning and remaining are cleaned and frozen individually on site. Sizes from largest to smallest: whales, jumbos, primes, and hotels.

Prices vary throughout the season based on availability and holidays. Call us or stop in for current prices.
