C H Crab House

The workers are always very nice and friendly. They make sure you get your order just as you expect. They cut and clean your fish for you. All seafood crabs, shrimp, oyster, clams and fish are all fresh. They don’t take chances with their customers health. I have been coming to this place for over 30 years. They have never treated anyone unkind. The keep it very clean. I love this place it brings back memories of my eating here with my late mother. ❤️❤️

Walked to the door at 10, they said ten minutes. Came back at 10:15 door is open lady says they’re not open until 10:30. I call back at 10:32 to place my order guy says 11am. Nobody knows when they’re open, including there website. Good food tho, probably not worth the confusion

Crabs 🦀 was trash and wwaaaayyy overcooked!! AThey was overly wet and soggy!! This was such a waste of $20 a throw the whole bag in the trash!! But they fried food was good. That is the ONLY thing I will ever buy from there ! Crabs TRRRRASSSHHHH go down the street in the little mall .

Clean atmosphere and the food was fried to perfection 👌🏿 the prices are reasonable for the portions you get!

Please do not eat the fried blue crab. It made me so sick. I was wondering why they were giving you 6 whole blue crabs for $10 but saling a dozen for $70. I believe these are the crabs that died already because the meat was really mushy which is a number 1 sign for a crab that' died before cooked.

The food was excellent, with flavors that were well-prepared and satisfying, making for an enjoyable experience. However, the customer service was lacking, as staff seemed unresponsive and inattentive, which detracted from the overall atmosphere. Additionally, the payment system leads to unnecessary delays and frustrations during checkout. Although the food was commendable, the poor service and inefficient payment process overshadowed what could have been a truly memorable visit.

C H CRAB HOUSE, I been going here for years, just not the same as it used to be, the food is still decent, tho.

The fish sandwich is thee best!!! for my lunch break I will definitely choose here before any other place

Crabs was pretty small.but they was definitely delicious i will give it another GO I had crabs the calendar very small I got shrimp medium size they was very fresh and the seasoning was on point for it to be my first time iam satisfied

I've never been a fan of their cooked crabs. I've gotten bad ones there a long time ago and never risked it again. I do however enjoy their fried cranbsticks. Imitation of course but sometimes the mood strikes. Add a bit of tartar, hotsauce, lemon and salt. Must have cash on hand. Service is quick. Customer service is decent. They get busy quick. Fish is usually fresh not too often do I get a foul smell from their garbage. They have fresh fish, fried station, frozen shell fish and steamed crab options. About 3.5

Can't believe I got a fresh bright eye firm flesh snapper at this spot, 1st time there got a 1&1/2lb for $23 slightly pricey but wow that was delicious, had to pull over the side of the road and destroy the whole thing, almost ate the whole fish head,(left the eyes). Would have given them 5stars but the ambiance need some upgrades.. will be back

Hi went here yesterday. Can someone tell if they charge to fry the fresh fish?? I had fresh Porgie fried here before and there was no charge. Now they are charging to fry the fish. Its my last time buying fresh fish to fry from here again. I think I was cheated out of $4 bucks and they were stingy with the bread and tarter and hot sauce. I had to really ask for containers for the sauces. The food is good . The fish is fresh. Nice portions,

This is one of those low key famous places to get a fish sandwich or bunch of crabs in the Essex county area. It's in the heart of Newark though.... walking distance from UMDNJ and walking distance from Georgia King Village (renovated or not).... but it's great and it's consistent. In all honesty I cannot eat crabs but I can eat fried fish, scallops,shrimp and fries !! They even have clams. The parking lot is a little sketchy so I would suggest going before evening. The place is legendary so I would suggest not going on Friday because it's pay day and likely to be a longer wait. They have sitting inside so it is possible to actually eat there ... although I never have. The food is fresh and it's served up hot and ready to go.... drench it in lemon juice, hot sauce and ketchup and be on the move. They have several platter meals so you can likely try several items at once. I find this to be my favorite aspect of this place.

It has some seating, but I wouldn't really call it a restaurant. I don't know how else to categorize it on here though (corrections are welcomed). Don't let the name fool you, the crab is not their forte. Of course, we're only talking about the steamed blue crab here. Not one of our top choices. We come here for the fish...the raw fish...for us to take home and cook. I have no idea how well they prepare fish so I can't speak on it, but the fish we buy is pretty fresh. As much as I've consumed sushi, as much as I've consumed a gazillion varieties of raw oysters, I've never had raw clams until I got here. Yup, they took my raw clam virginity...and I liked it. Kinda chewy, oceanic, and yummy. I still prefer oysters though.

This is more of a fish market than a restaurant. Pick whatever fish you want, go home with it. Or get them to steam/fry it for you first. I had some sampler platter to go and some fried whiting to go. The sampler platter had fried clams, fried scallops, fried shrimp, fried flounder, and fries. I also bought some whiting and had them fry it for me. Don't get the specials listed on the menu board. Stick with the fresh stuff and have them fry it for you. The sampler I had was all pre-battered, possibly being refried. I wasn't surprised that the scallops weren't actually scallops at the price they were being sold at. But the whiting I had them fry for me was pretty good. They know what they're doing.

I would give them 0 stars but unfortunately i don't have that option sooo... One day i bought a dozen of female crabs..when i got home i opened it they smelled of ammonia and were watery... And on top of that i tipped them 4 bucks to hook me up and this what i got ... A BAG OF PISSY CRABS ... NEVER EVER GOING BACK... HOPE THIS IS USEFUL!

Shrimp was great. Steamed and seasoned right in front of you. Fair prices. Amazing White Fish sandwich

I will never go to this place again. First of all it's right dead in the hood. Crack heads and stuff everywhere. If you ask for female crabs they give you half male half female as if your too dumb to know what you've received. Some of the crabs were dead with a stark ammonia smell. I will never buy crab from them again a waste of money.
