The Crab Plant Seafood Market in Crystal River has fresh Seafood for sale to the general public. You won't find any fresher seafood than ours. We are located on Kings Bay at the head of the Crystal River, in Crystal River Florida. Since 1995 it has been in our family strictly used for wholesale of stone crabs and grouper.
Our Seafood Market is owned and operated by Jimmy, Betty, Kelly and Candy Kofmehl. In 2014 we opened a retail market at the request of friends and others in the Crystal River and Homosassa area looking for fresh local seafood. We own and operate our own boats and bring in fresh catches daily. We grouper fish as well as Stone Crab.

Always fresh delicious Stone crabs and I have had good Dungeness crabs when stones are out of season. Shrimp from market and restaurant are always a good choice.
Nothing special in Atmosphere. Service is generally spot on if a bit loud.
My friends love the Blue crab - call ahead to find out if large Jimmies available.

My husband and I try to experience different restaurants when we have the chance. The staff was friendly and our youngest granddaughter loved being there. The price was average for seafood, it was good. I can't really say that there was any difference in flavor. My husband and I both had the trio platter. We both had crab cakes they were alright, to dry for me. I had scallops and shrimp, he had grouper and scallops. We also had gator bites, little tough. It was okay pricing for what we got.

Five of stopped at The Crab Plant for lunch yesterday. We had blue crab and clam chowder to start off our meal. Both were very good. For the main portion of our lunch, two had the red snapper and the red snapper Reuben sandwich. My wife had the crab cake sandwich and I had the shrimp and scallop linguine. My wife has had better crab cakes (Maryland style). My linguine was very good. Our waitress was very friendly and service was great. Don' t be caught unaware, this restaurant is CASH only.

Shrimps and Mussels, Crawdads and Clams, Red Potatoes and fresh Blue Crab, Tender Scallops, Corn on the Cob, with Ol' Bay Seasoning served steaming HOT! Yum-----------, Yum!!!
I have been to The Crab Plant 3 or 4 times now and it is one of my favorite restaurants in Florida!
The first time my aunt and uncle took me I was not impressed by the name- "The Crab PLANT"...???
But when you get there and see HUNDREDS of crab traps stacked up on the grounds around THE PLANT, you understand this is a working fishery. They send boats out everyday that bring back the best of the fresh seafood

What an absolutely great place to eat. We ordered the steamed crabs and I had the fried shrimp. My wife absolutely loved the steamed crabs very reasonably priced and done to perfection. The fried shrimp were done very very well lightly breaded absolutely delicious. Prices are very very reasonable. Fun atmosphere right on the water big windows to view all around. And lastly the service was impeccable, smiling waiters waitresses happy Staff just a pleasure to be there.

Great option for seafood for the whole family. They've got outdoor seating in the river or indoor seating with AC overlooking the river. We stopped in here for a quick bite and the service from Courtney was exceptional. You can customize your jambalaya to remove things you don't like (which was great for a picky eaters). Really loved the vibe of the whole place. Good food in an unassuming setting.

We always look for local places to eat and this was an excellent find.
It's deeply hidden right off US-98 and you have to be searching for it as it is a "local dive" but a very good one.
They were busy but one didn't have to wait. They cleaned up tables pretty fast after diners left so waiting is not an issue.
The servers were fast and courteous so we were treated great.
The food was delicious, hot, and very plentiful.
You have a nice view of the water and boats.
It's a "cash only" restaurant but if you need to get money there is an ATM machine available

If it wasn't for Yelp. I'd never find this amazing gem. While entering the parking lot you'll see hundreds maybe a thousand crab traps sitting stacked and ready to go. We opted to sit outside to enjoy the views of hunters bay and enjoy some of the local finds. The kids played along the water side and got a glimpse of a momma manatee with calf float by. I enjoyed the blue crab chowder and blue crab cake while washing it down with a locally brewed ipa. The food was excellent. Kids had chicken tenders which you can see are hand breaded. My husband enjoyed their cold lobster sandwich

Based on other reviews I was very excited to try this place. Unfortunately, I just wasn't a fan. A couple important things to note: this restaurant is cash only and they are not taking any covid safety precautions (masks, social distancing, etc).
While our server was friendly, there was a lot of staff in the restaurant and they didn't give off a welcoming vibe. Hard to explain but it seemed more like they were just hanging out there instead of working. It's definitely not a fine dining establishment and hike in the wall is completely fine but atmosphere created by staff could be
