My partner and I had the most delicious piece of fresh halibut from Crabby’s this past week. Great service, good prices and delicious fish. We will definitely be back

Karen King

I used to love it but went into shock yesterday when I had to pay $80 for 2 crabs. I guess that's the last time I'll eat crab

Carmen Xu

Delicious!

Niklas Eliasson

Amazing service and a cute little place right on the water. You have the option to stay there for a bit or just stop in quick. There’s never any pressure to buy anything. Always extremely fresh and I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone.

Lola Wilkison

Crabby Bob's is awesome! Great seafood and even better staff!!

Robert Chalupa

Great food on a dock with crabs and starfish under you. Would go again.

Rob Hiebert

This place is legendary for a reason. The fresh seafood was prepared simply and perfectly, the way it should be! The only thing crabby here is the crabs! Incredible staff and service! I would give more stars if I could!

Ariell Amyot

I bought two live dungeness crabs and they were so delicious! A true west coast delicacy, thank you crabby bobs! I have also enjoyed wild salmon from here! Best seafood in town, a must go for Campbell River!

Andrew Hewlett

Was very upset today at this place. They are very highly rated and im sure the food is excellent. But we showed up at 420 or so a full hour and forty minutes before advertised close. And the woman working said im not cooking anymore today i have to leave at 6...maybe she did us a favour it would have been a painful wait... Maybe advertise your kitchen closes at 430pm on a monday?

Kim Rhindress

We stopped in here for a bite to eat today while visiting the town. While fairly spendy at $25.00, the taste and quality of the steamer plate was excellent. Friendly staff and you cannot beat the authentic ambience of eating on the dock! Highly recommended!

It was during the second month of the pandemic and isolation was playing on everyone's mental state. It was our Wedding Anniversary and we usually gather with family and friends. We couldn't this year so our lovely children ordered our favorite seafood to eat through Crabby Bob's along with right to the door delivery service. Abby the owner has stepped up to evolving her business right from the get go of the pandemic and before. The food is always fresh and priced very well. Thank you for carrying on this great business here in Campbell River. Definitely one of my go to places for delicious fresh seafood.

I came here for dinner with my family on our first trip to Campbell River. This place is an institution! Come here for food and you will enjoy yourself guaranteed. The staff were wonderful and welcoming! The seafood are beyond fresh. You have the choice to either buying live and cook it yourself, or leave the cooking to the expert chefs there (who know exactly how to preserve and enhance the natural taste of the variety of seafood you order). Trust me, you won't be disappointed! My personal choice is the platter, great portions and excellent selections. To top it off, this place is right next to the Discovery Pier, which has a breath-taking view. You can plop down and enjoy your food as you take in the scenery. Let your eyes feast on the view as you feast on the amazing food!

Krista Baxter

Awesome, just awesome! We bought all our food from Crabby Bob’s during our week visiting Campbell River. The prices are amazing, the candied salmon recipe is the best I’ve ever had, their fresh seafood is SO fresh! And the staff are so helpful and fun. For us, Crabby Bob’s is the reason we will be back to visit Campbell River and the reason we are sad to leave - thank you for helping make our honeymoon so enjoyable!

Christopher Wilkes

Just had dinner @ Crabby Bob's. Ordered two chowders and serving of prawns. Fantastic, fresh and Crabby Abby & Shannon gave great service. Chowder had bacon, onion, celery, potato, salmon, white fish, shrimp, oyster, clam, scallops & crab. Served on the dock from holding tanks to your plate. Can't get any fresher!

Dr. Barry Whyte (Class IV Laser)

Best seafood in town! This is a seafood shop with great atmosphere. If you love seafood come even sit on patio with freshly made soup and freshly seamed crab. These crab wranglers know their seafood and put on a great show...Also loved the smoked sable fish. Thanks Crabby Bob's

Donnah Reys

We always make sure we bring all our visitors to Crabby Bob's for the full steam deal and we are never disappointed. The full deal with the claims oysters crab etc is amazing!

Steve Brien

Excellent service, super fresh seafood and good prices.

Jimmy yediaz

Interesting floating restaurant.

Deb G.

Great place for all your seafood needs! Best place in town for crab!!

Adriaan van den Brand

(Translated) Delicious steamed crab Simple, pure and very fresh (live in tank until preparation) (Original) Heerlijke gestoomde krab Simpel, puur en erg vers (levend in tank tot voor bereiding)

MANUELA Heinen

Amazing crab!!!! Just make sure to CLARIFY if you want your crab cooked or RAW!!! Spent a pretty pricey chunk of cash and getting ready to eat after hubby picked up crab and found out crab was raw! Phoned and complained and was treated extremely rudely by the OLDER female voice! Unfortunately will be last time they get our cash! Too bad too cause it only takes a small kind deed with NO rudeness to make it better!! In this case Crabby Bob’s (or Abby’s) DOES not think the customer is always right! Other places in town sell crab!!

shilo93

The best place in town for crab hands down. Friendly service, be sure to get there during there cooking time.

joe zemanek

My younger brother was visiting from the prairies, so I wanted to show him an authentic west coast experience. Crabby Abby did not disappoint! Abby made us feel like part of the family while she, not only helped pick out some choice goods but kindly walked us through the best way to prepare and serve each item. Above and beyond people, a must stop on any family tour!

Shawn Provy

Most amazing seafood on the west coast!!!! Lee is an amazing creator and chef. If I could give more stars I would

Morgan Hillier

Friendly people and great fish!

Sharon Herbin

If you want to have fresh seafood in Campbell River don’t go to the grocery go to the Government Ward (beside the fishing pier) and get it from Crabby Bob’s. It’s that fresh.

Jamie Graham

Stopped in at Crabby Bob's last weekend for lunch. Great service, friendly staff. We had the shell fish mix and clam chowder. Yummy !!! Highly recommend. Next time we are in the Campbell River area, we will be definitely stopping by.

Sean Turvey

If you want fresh off the boat seafood this is the place to go.

Kristen Campbell

The best service I have come across so far and the seafood and selection was awesome. Definitely going back again and again.

Crabby Bob's Seafood

Crab dip!!! Mmmmmmm

Dawnna Martin

We stopped here to check out what fish was in stock. Staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and gave great service. Originally from Nova Scotia, I have been looking for a fish market to purchase seafood from Happy satisfied customer. Looking forward to coming back for more. Thanks so much!!

David DeWolfe

It's dope

Chelsey G

I love taking my children to Crabby Bob'sy children often request to go for a visit. The staff are wonderful and will happily pull out a crab to show my children. Sometimes they even get to take home a crabby cookie. The crab is always delicious and I've learnt that boiling the crab whole makes for the tastiest crab. The staff at Crabby Bob's will amqzingly clean the crab for you at no extra cost if you don't want to deal with the mess. I highly suggest a visit to locals and visitors :)

N8 McKay26

Always have to visit when we come down to Campbell river, food was incredible and the service was awesome, could really tell they were enjoying what they were doing! Highly suggest if you like seafood!

Travis Mason

Woah, we went twice on this trip. We stopped in on our way to GoldRiver and on our way back from. They cook Crabs perfect here. We liked ordering them Fresh, and then getting them steamed. Juicy!! We will be back again. Also thanks for the Spot Prawns. :)

Jason Conn

Lee cooks some of the most amazing seafood you’ll ever taste! We were told about this place by locals for a while and finally decided to try it one sunny afternoon. What an amazing treat to sit on the dock and eat this fresh seafood platter with finger-licking garlic butter. This place will be a must stop every time we come through Campbell River! Can’t wait to see what their expansion looks like. Couldn’t help but take a few pounds of prawns and halibut with us to stock the freezer. Thanks again Lee! See you next time!

VICKY Yon Nicoll

This place is a friendly delicious place with that home town feel. Great sections and something for everyone.

Tom

(Translated) On the first evening we were late because it was Sunday and closed from 4 p.m. Well today we were there at 5 p.m. and had an hour to enjoy. A really natural and friendly service. We could watch everything from choosing to preparing. Yes, and it tasted great. A must if you have time here. (Original) Am ersten Abend waren wir zu spät, weil es Sonntag war und da schon ab 16 Uhr geschlossen. Nun heute waren wir um 17 Uhr da und hatten eine Stunde zum genießen. Eine echt natürliche und freundliche Bedienung. Wir konnten vom aussuchen bis zum zubereiten alles beobachten. Ja und geschmeckt hat es super. Als ein Muss wenn man hier Zeit hat.

Adam Lewis

Anna Volokos

Great fresh seafood, probably, one of the best I’ve ever tried in my life. Friendly and cheerful staff, very attentive to my needs. Thank you. Hope, to see you again!

Zachary Phillips

Number one place in Campbell River for seafood. Staff is fantastic and very polite.

Jacqueline De Leeuw Van Weenen

the best crab ever, so fresh!

Mc mc

Ordered the seafood chowder and it was a poor excuse for a seafood chowder. Broth was watery and tasteless. What little fish was in it was overcooked and rubbery. The only potatoes were skins. Very disappointing especially for the price. We are not from Campbell River and purchased the chowder to go.

Wayne Pernu

Excellent fresh seafood . The Dungeness crab was superb.

Frederick Lin

Crabtacular! Love that it is cooked just right

Rod Woods

Crabby Abby is the best. Service is above and beyond. I had a steamed crab right on the dock. Can't wait to go back !!!

Kelsey Cleverdon

Crabby Bob's is a must if you are in Campbell River. We ordered the small seafood charcuterie (pictured), for two of us. It was more than enough food. So delicious and fresh. The staff were all very friendly and nice to talk to. We are from Alberta and drove to CR especially to visit Crabby Bob's on our trip to the island. Well worth the drive.

Kathy Burnett

The best and most friendly place to buy seafood. And now they serve chowder on the patio.

Jordan Smith

Great selection of live crabs and shellfish. Good service and they'll clean them for you if you like while you wait.

Delainica H

We came up from Alberta and I had been looking for a place to get fresh seafood for my family to try. The lady working offered to make us a little snack plate so we could try everything and it was amazing, and amazingly priced! Thank you so much!

Matt Lovick

Love this place.

Griffin Swanson

I can't wait for the heat wave to pass so we can enjoy your chowder again! Best ever, and adding some shellfish on the side is a must!

Evan lopatka

Great place for fresh fish and a good bowl of chowder. Crabby Abby was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area as well.

Steve Hex

Fantastic meal, delicious seafood, the chef told us where most of the platter had come from and when it was caught.

jerry mundi

Great service and selection!

Nicholas Humphrey

Minus one star. You wasted a hour of my life that i will never get back. As a free diver I regularly catch crab, I never imagined that shopping for crab would be more arduous than catching it. What number should I call to speak to the owner? Unless the owner is crabby Abby, in which case I will not waste my breath.

Heather Newell

The only thing better than the fresh seafood is the absolutley wonderful staff! We trusted their recommendations (on seafood and local attractions) and were not disappointed! This place is a must-do for any trip north of Courtenay

Greg McFadyen

Very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Good selection of fresh and frozen product.

Melissa A

We had a great meal and loved being right on the dock. Can’t wait to come back.

ena Moore

I love crabby bobs I live in the okanogan but every time I'm in Campbell River Its a must stop You will not be disappointed

Elaine Carson

Visiting from Victoria. Best seafood platter we’ve ever had - crab, oysters, spot prawns,scallops, varied clams, melted butter & homemade seafood sauce. Very friendly & helpful staff. Cost marina environment. We would go back!

Vivian McKenzie

I love the seafood selections you have. You guys are always friendly and helpful every time I went there. The price is very reasonable as well. I would highly recommend your business to all my friends.

alysa evensen

So friendly! Great service and amazing products

Angela Wilson

Great place! Very helpful staff, delicious crab

Erica Ellefsen

Wow. Stopped in here quite randomly on a weekend trip. The best all seafood dinner I have been served. Perfectly cooked crab, the freshest shellfish you can imagine. This meal was simply so delicious. If you are going here be sure not to skip out on ordering a cup of chowder, it's fantastic. The friendly service makes you feel like you are sitting on your friends patio. We enjoyed our meal in the sun and were served by two very nice women.

Wilma Heslop

Amazing party platters. Excellent helpful staff

R. Lewis

Crabby bobs is a CR staple for a reason! The freshest seafood, great food and fair prices. Highly recommend for all your seafood needs, we love the contests and specials they do as well!

Tyler Morris

This place was incredible. Best seafood chowder we’ve ever eaten. We had a small platter between the two of us and could not finish it all. You’re not going to eat fresher seafood than this.

Amanda Wilson

Excellent service! So delicious and knowledgable

michael spender

Best seafood for miles around. Friendly people who provide really good service.

Shirley Ching

Couldn’t believe why people complain this place Fresh crab and shellfish were well cooked ,it’s tasty and juicy . I wish I have ordered more. Besides, I thought it was her Crabby Abby who was very friendly to introduce attraction to us. I would certainly recommend this place to my friends.

Clemence Orsini-McIndoe

We had the seafood boil today for lunch and it was amazing! The staff was super friendly and our kids had such a great time! Thank you, we will definitely be back next time we are in town :)

Bayy Bee

Leah McKenzie

What an excellent experience! I am new to the area, coastal living in general. Abby was so helpful in educating me in how to select a crab and how to prepare it. She even cleaned it for us. It was such a nice treat. Thank you, Abby

Wes or Jenn Underhill

We ordered the 2 crab platter (and spot prawns) early in the day, for pick up just before closing! The staff was super helpful both on the phone and when we went to collect it! We picked it up and ate our dinner picnic style on the beach! It was so delicious and an amazing way to spend our wedding anniversary!

Victoria Gibbons

Five star service and food! Thank you Chef one of the best seafood boils I’ve had and made a great birthday feast!

Currie Sabrina
