Pikes Corner

Tried this place on two occassions.
My first visit was purchasing fresh seafood to make at home (tilapia & shrimp) and their seafood is beyond fresh! Which is a definite plus.
The second visit was to purchase a platter from the menu (Pike Combo: flounder, fish cakes & shrimp) and I was completely underwhelmed. They used panko breading for the shrimp and flounder and it was lile eating little shards of glass… Fries were good though. It’s easier to call ahead for pickup, but they don’t always answer which is kind of annoying.
When you walk in, this place can be hectic and unorganized if there are more that 4 people. Just my luck that there were several people, on both occasions, either walking back and forth or standing around so I couldn’t tell who was in line for what. This would be alot easier if they invested in one of those number pulley, thingys.
Again, great for fresh seafood but skip the platters as you might be better of cooking it at home yourself!

So good! Omg. I am super impressed with their quality and price for the amount of food I got.
The Alaskan crab platter came with crab, shrimp, red potato, corn on cob and broccoli. And, the garlic butter was amazingly delicious.
We also got the jumbo shrimp — butterflied and fried. It came with a side of fries. They were crispy and cooked well. The cocktail sauce was also good.
All in all, I will be back to this place for sure!

This place is NOT closed, it’s hopping. I’ve been quite a few times now, (work nearby) and the freshness, cost, customer service cannot be beat. Great place, great folks, great fish!

As a native of the Baltimore area, THIS is the place I’ve been looking for to get crabs in Philly.
They always have a nice selection of hard shells. This weekend I got some extra large males for $ 40/​dozen.
You can order them seasoned hot or mild… Their seasoning isn’t quite an Old Bay flavor. It’s close, but more akin to a Louisiana boil with a heavy presence of red pepper. I order the hot and and it definitely leaves a nice burn on your tongue.
In addition to crabs, they sell fresh fish, prepared seafood (such as crab cakes) and sides. I’ve tried the crab cake and macaroni salad while I was waiting for crabs (expect a 25-​minute wait if you want them to do the steaming), and thought it was a great product.
It’s always busy, so I have no doubt that their product is getting turned over and is fresh.
Helpful staff too.
