Why Buy Key West Pink Shrimp from a Maryland Crab House?
- Wild-Caught from Tampa to Key West
- Our Key West pinks come from the clean Gulf water between Tampa and Key West, some of the most pristine shrimping grounds anywhere. We buy them right off the Tampa shrimp docks through people we have worked with for years, and the boats there fish the smart way: gear that lifts the shrimp off the bottom instead of dredging through it, plus a protected sanctuary that keeps the grounds healthy for generations. We carry only the big boutique sizes a grocery store rarely sees.
- Hand-Graded Twice in Maryland
- Every lot is checked on the dock in Florida, then graded a second time by hand at our Crisfield, Maryland facility. We look at every single shrimp and pull anything broken or off-color before it is packed into one-pound, heat-sealed containers. Two quality checks before a shrimp ever reaches your box.
- Flash-Frozen on the Boat, Nothing Added
- These are frozen at sea within hours of the catch, so they arrive as sweet, firm, and buttery as the moment they came out of the Gulf. No water weight, no chemical preservatives. Key West pinks are one of the only shrimp handled completely chemical-free, the way shrimp should be.
- Shipped Right Since 1996
- We were the first company to ever sell seafood on the internet. Thirty years of packing perishables means your shrimp arrive frozen solid, on the exact day you choose, and our Mid-Atlantic home puts much of the country just 24 to 48 hours away with UPS Ground, our most economical option.

The Original Source for Hand-Selected Premium Seafood
The first seafood ever sold on the internet shipped from right here, Crisfield, Maryland, 1996. The Baltimore Sun wrote it up in 2001; the U.S. Small Business Administration named us Maryland Entrepreneurial Success of the Year. Thirty years, 200,000+ customers, and nine million crabs later, we still run on the judgment you only get from the historic Crab Capital of the World: every order hand-selected by people who grew up around this water, packed by the team that practically invented seafood shipping, and sent straight to your doorstep.
