"I ordered the shrimp salad sandwich and a half-and-half soup. The shrimp sandwich could have used more seasoning; it mostly tasted like mayonnaise. However, the soup was quite comforting on a chilly day."
Another Friday night and I was wondering what to eat. After driving by countless times, my curiosity finally got the better of me, so I decided to stop by Sea King in Ellicott City. I loved the charming seaside decor and was impressed by their extensive menu. Since it was a rainy day, I opted for some comfort food. I debated between 5 and 10 wings, and I'm glad I chose 10— they were deliciously satisfying. I also enjoyed the hearty mac and cheese and barbecue beans; it was a great choice, and I'll definitely return to try more from their menu.
On 08/13/2021, someone mentioned crabs. I made a few calls and found out they were all sold out, and I needed a reservation, but they were fully book...
Do not be discouraged if the crab house is closed. My father and I got to sit down in front before it was open. It was 50 dollars for more than a dozen. You need to pay for the butter, but it's real butter. If you need to, ask them to warm it up. The crab meat was firm and outstanding, sweet even.Parking: We were the only ones there at the time. It's incredible how it worked out.
Save your money and go somewhere else. The crabs were so light and tasted old. The cream of crab tasted off. It was so quiet in the restaurant you felt uncomfortable. Almost 300 dollars wasted. The service took so long and three drinks were dropped on my son during our service. We were not brought anything we requested mallots, butter and drinks. Not worth it.
I came into the store at 7:20 pm not knowing that they closed at 7:30. However, the man that waited on me still treated me with the utmost respect. He even explained the differences between the jumbo lump crabmeat from Venezuela and Louisiana, adding that he thought he would have had Maryland jumbo lump by now. Just a pleasant experience.

I will never buy crabs from Sea King Seafood Market again. I spent more than $250 on crabs and other seafood from their menu, but the shrimp were only half cooked and the crabs were overdone. The customer service was disappointing as well. I won’t be returning to this restaurant.
We ordered Large Crabs- they were okay. It appeared the Crabs were old, very light in weight and not much juice from the Steamed Crabs. They had no drawn butter for sale. I would take a second thought before I buy from them again. Not impressed at all.Food: 2/5
Sea King Seafood Market is a fantastic spot for family and friends to enjoy a meal together. The crabs on the menu are absolutely worth every penny or dollar! The ribs and crab cakes are also delicious. Overall, I am completely satisfied with the experience.
Waited 50 minutes for a fried shrimp platter, went to the counter 4 times and every time the young man was saying 5 minutes. The fried shrimp was the worse I've ever had. I will not go back, or recommend anyone I know to go there.Food: 1/5

Our group of 50 arrived with a prior reservation and received excellent service. We appreciated the flexibility of ordering steamed crabs by the dozen or individually, which was very convenient. The crabs were absolutely delicious!
