Crabby Bob's Seafood - Campbell River

Seafood should be eaten fresh and I have always found fresh, local, quality seafood at Crabby Bob's.

The fresh crabs and seafood to purchase are great.We ordered two bowls of the chowder to go, and the bag was wet and leaked even though my car was right there, I handed it ti my husband to check at the bowl butst and burned hus kao and his one testicle. we think the soup was pur in the flimsy take out bowl way too hot and covered with lid right away. it us also very runny and is just piping hot liquids, not thick chowder. my husband had to soak in the oyster river for the next two days to cool off the burns

We stubbled upon this while walking down the pier to get an ice cream - and ended up having a 'sampler' that included mussels, clams, spot prawns and a full crab for $40. Enough to feed two. So fresh and delicious - and a nice little spot outside to sit. There are only three table though - and this place could stand to have more! From what our server was saying this is the first season with ANY table service - but the staff and fresh food will make it a hoppin place to be! While we were there we saw several others starting to walk up the pier, but when they saw what we were eating changed directions and came down. We got our ' EAT ME' Crabby Bob T-shirts - but they have a couple of other choice phrases you can purchase as well. Will definately make this a firm stop on the itinerary the next time we are over!

Our seafood chowder was a very thin based soup with very little seafood in it and lacked flavour. We ate the bit of seafood with our little plastic spoons and drank the rest out of the cup. It was surely not worth the $8 we paid per serving. Very disappointed.

Found Crabby Bob's and had a wonderfully seafood chowder and prawns (in the UK we would almost call them lobsters!) . There is not much in the way of seating but they do take out.
