Stuart’s Fresh Catch

Stuart's Fresh Catch is a family-owned seafood market on Mechanicsville Turnpike in Richmond, selling live blue crabs, steamed shrimp, fresh fish and snow crab legs. Customers often mention the fried lake trout, flounder dinners, and spoon bread, and the crab kickers and seafood salad are also on the menu.

The market is mainly a takeout spot with no seating, so most people order by phone or pick up at the counter. Hours run Monday through Saturday and on Sunday afternoons. Stuart's Fresh Catch also offers a seafood club that sends fresh catch news and specials by email.
