I took a chance... AND LOVE THEM!, June 5, 2006
This review is from: The Crab Place 6 oz. Maryland Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes, 1 Dozen (Misc.)
These crab cakes are BIG...six ounces each...and very tasty. There is a nice balance of heat and spice. I'm sure they are made of backfin crab meat but I can't prove they were made from lump crabmeat because the cakes' inner texture is finely shredded--not at all what I am used to when eating the most desireable quality lump meat. If it is truly lump, they should be more delicate in the mixing process to preserve the presentation. Regardless, they ARE tasty. You'll want to flatten these and place in a preheated skillet with some butter (I add just a touch of garlic- and lemon-flavored Old Bay). I finish in the microwave at low power to make sure they are heated through without overcooking. I have sampled many, many seafood items through online purchase and these are--without a doubt--among the best crab cakes I've found.

THE VERY WORST Online Food Provider!!!!!, May 12, 2009
I ordered a large intial order from "The Crab Place", who by the way go under various other names including "The Lobster Store" [which should be an early warning of something ugly pending in the wind.]
Their "Big Momma Shrimp" were the toughest, blandest shell fish I have ever eaten.....and their Lobster tails were tasteless and mushy.
The WORST thing that arrived on my order was the jar of "Crab Place" tarter sauce. THERE SHOULD BE A CRIME against companys that make this poor of a product. It was separated, like a clear slimey yellowish fluid with what looked like crab entrails floating around in the bottle.
It literally made me nautious and we threw it into our kitchen trash can straight from "The Crab Place's" shipping container.
When I wrote to complain about these problems, MATT from the Crab Place basically said "Sorry to hear you were disappointed.....let me know how the Crab Cakes you also ordered turn out"
Matt........if this is your idea of Customer Service, then that explains the lack of quality, the inexcusable poor integrity of your company, and your williness to put "On Sale" so many of "The Crab Place's" products on the internet.
I truly believe this company is selling online, ONLY because they have been shut down by the local health department and have no other way to make a buck!
