Where To Eat Seafood In Southeastern PA?

I have gotten requests lately to offer recommendations on the best seafood spots in the area. So we need to start doing our menu research & development to help you folks out! Maybe get some new ideas for our office catering menus too.

I had been reading about this place- Hilltop Crabhouse- that had hard shell crabs. A bit of a trek out in Toughkenamon near Longwood Gardens. It’s kind of a comfortable hillbilly place with country music playing “My Kind Of Bar.”

We ordered a dozen of the large hard shells. They came out hot and nicely seasoned but there was hardly any meat in them. Alas, a lot of cracking and just little dabs of meat. Oh well.

They have really nice crab cakes, fried rockfish strips, clams, oysters, shrimp and more. Worth a visit!
