The Crab Hut — Local services in Tampa

Had a taste for crabs the other day so went to The Crab Hut. Bought a couple dozen crabs and a beautiful snapper, which they cleaned and filleted for me at no extra charge. Stopped by Burlington Coast Factory on the way home so my lovely assistant could run in and grab a big pot since I know I didn’t have one big enough for the crab.

I'm cool with small businesses and I'm cool waiting to an extent but to not offer nothing for an hour I waited in front of their business AND then give me partly bad product as well. So...

The Crab Hut with that being said that says it all in the name the Crab Hut is really what it is it's a fish market who specializes in Krabs cuz that's basically what the community once now I can remember as a kid coming up you can get a dozen of crabs for let's save six bucks seven bucks now it's 40 and 50 bucks and I think they should put the same law into effect as fish and I need to be a size quarter cuz most of the markets have the little baby crabs that they're selling for top dollar and it's not worth so I would definitely recommend shopping around before you just stopped in to end of the Blue Seafood spots of crab Hut's now to...
