We got 3 pounds of crab legs, fresh tuna, shrimp, and scallops. All were very fresh and delicious! Staff was friendly! We also got a few tomatoes, boiled peanuts, and fishing bait. We will definitely be back!

Staff was friendly and helpful but I was charged $69 for a combo rod & reel. Come to find out the combo sells for 34$ MSRP. I’m frustrated that the markup was that high. Two shops right down the road were selling it for MSRP or UNDER!

As a local born and raised here this is the only place you should go to get your seafood great family owned business and will throw deals your way when buying in bulk!

Knowledgeable fellas, awesome seafood. They told us how to cook the mahi mahi we got and it turned out beautifully. We loved the various seasonings, sauces, and the gorgeous produce.

The folks at Thomas's are awesome! We bought some clams to cook on the grill my husband found all the bait that he needed there and he loved that the fact that the t-shirts he bought were preseasoned they made the whole truck smell like fish LOL absolutely love visiting Thomas's would definitely visit again highly recommend!
