We were greeted by Abby and her staff as soon as we walked up to this unassuming little seafood shop and restaurant right on the dock. Abby was extremely warm, welcoming and informative as we pondered the menu with mouth watering options. We settled for the West Coast Crab Boil and wow, were we ever impressed! Everything was delectable and the house made crab boil butter sauce was out of this world! The seafood was perfectly seasoned and the PS size was perfect for two of us. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Campbell River!

Kitchen closes at 4 and is closed fully at 5 on Thursdays. Unmarked unless you walk up to the arbitrary closed early on Thursday sign… too bad, was looking forward to the authentic sea food! But looks like a great spot and family run

After years of hearing how good the food is I finally made it down and it did not disappoint! Generous portion, friendly staff abs a great spot to sit in the sunshine.

If you want the friendliest place around, you've found it! Crabby Bob's in Campbell River is an absolute gem! While we just stopped by to take a few photos of boats, we were greeted by the friendliest and most welcoming people ever. They went the extra mile to make us feel right at home in this beautiful place called Campbell River, offering to show us some crabs and sharing their insider tips on what to do in the area. Huge thanks to you guys for your beautiful smiles and positive vibes, making our short visit feel truly special! Even if it means taking a ferry ride from Vancouver and a long drive, I can't wait to return just to chat with you again.

We ordered the 2 person steamed shellfish platter and a dozen of shelled oysters to go. We were staying a little out of CR and wanted to have dinner in our room and watch the sea activity. What a meal! We have been traversing Vancouver Island for two weeks and this was my favorite meal. That it was for a fair price and from a local business person is icing on the cake. Good people, good food and a good deal.

Excellent selection of fresh and frozen seafood. If you’re lucky, they’ll teach you to shuck an oyster.

Best seafood on the Island! I love that the wranglers will prep my crab for me, too. (And above that, they took time out of their evening to answer my not-so-intelligent question… and did so with grace and tact! 🤣Thanks!! ❤️🦀

I was visiting CR for a month and checked out Crabby Bob’s. What a great place for a prairie girl to learn and try a bunch of local products. The candied salmon is so addicting I was back many times for more. The smoked tuna lox, chinook salmon and other things I tried were all delicious and I appreciated the cooking tips for some of the products. Highly recommend a visit.

Wow!!! Tender, delicate prawns, scallops, clams! We got a big platter to share, with a fun assortment of smoked salmon and scallops. We were there in Feb, and the service was exceptional. They took our order over the phone and took the time to explain it all to us!!! Highly recommend.

Amazing fresh cooked seafood off the dock. They sell the best smoked salmon we have ever had. Everything is amazing about this shop. Definitely a gem!

The seafood here is super fresh - crabs are still alive in the tanks when you walk inside. They also offer dine-in options with a very intriguing menu which I will definitely be trying the next time I am in town! I love that they give you the option of bringing them home alive, or cleaned and be-headed before you leave the store. Truly professionals here - thank you for your iconic presence over the decades!

I just LOVE this place. We come down to campbell river a couple times a year with friends and family and a trip to Crabby Bob's is something I look forward to every time. Their staff is so skilled and knowledgeable. They always have fantastic recommendations, whether it be timing our bi-annual seafood boils, or choosing the best of the seasons catch. Highly recommend!

Crabby Bob's Seafood is the kind of seafood spot that is so rare but incredibly exciting to find. It's not a restaurant but a fresh seafood store that serves some food. We ordered the Loaded Seafood Chowder 🥔, Steamed Shellfish Box 🦪 and on advice from another customer a Lobster Roll 🦞. Unfortunately there was no more Seafood Chowder and we got the last Lobster Roll. I thought the bread of the Lobster Roll did not taste that fresh and the lobster was good but I have had better Lobster Rolls. However the Steamed Shellfish Box was absolutely one of the best seafood dishes I have ever had 🥇. I don't recall any swimming scallops but the clams and mussels were so fresh and many of them were the hugest I have ever seen. As for service, there is a sign that says "If you don't like our service lower your standards" or something to that effect. The two people working there try to be helpful but there are so many people waiting for their orders that it's understandable that you cannot expect immediate service. As for ambience, we sat on the pier around a small outdoor table. Not fine dining but it was totally worth it. I would go to Crabby Bob's Seafood every time I am in Campbell River.
