Soft-Shell Crabs

Live soft-shell crabs are only available part of the year but definitely worth the wait. They are available late spring to early fall. We typically receive our first supply of the year in May.

Soft-shells can be baked, sauteed, pan-fried or deep fried for delicacies like a Po'Boy sandwich, popular in New Orleans.

Lobster

Live Maine Lobster

The world's finest lobsters come from Maine, and you can find them year-round in our live tank! For those watching their cholesterol, lobster is comparable to skinless chicken breast. For a special dinner for two, be sure to ask about our Lobster Bakes (described in our Do-it-yourself section), available upon request.

Lobster Tails - in our freezer case

From the remote island of Tristan da Cunha come Tristan Rock Lobsters. With a particularly succulent taste that is unequalled anywhere in the world, these tails are caught in deep, cold, pristine waters midway between Africa and South America. You can find them in our freezer case.

Hard-Shell Crabs

Here at Weiland's, we provide Chesapeake Bay Blue Crab. Their meat is rich, sweet and buttery in flavor. The body meat is delicately flavored, while claw meat is nutty. You won't find them in our seafood case, but can be ordered by the bushell or half-bushel.

Dungeness Crabs

Our Dungeness Crab is flown in from the Oregon Coast, available during the fall and winter months, for the utmost taste and freshness. We try to keep live crabs in store when available but can also cook them for you, upon request. Our diligent staff is on hand for questions and assistance.

Oysters

Weiland's features Chesapeake Bay Oysters year round. During the colder months, you can find Prince Edward Island Oysters which have wonderful flavor. Also, don't forget to check out our shucked oysters in the cooler case.

Scallops

Weiland's selection of scallops are always fresh and never soaked or pumped. We also have Diver scallops available through the spring and summer months, as well as Cape Cod Scallops during the winter months. Diver Scallops are retrieved by divers from the channels surrounding underwater cables, where no large boats are allowed, giving these varieties time to grow super sized and have exceptional flavor.

Clams

You can always find a good variety of East Coast clams in our seafood case including hard shell and steamer clams (soft shell).

Mussells

Direct from the clean, cold waters of Prince Edward Island, Canada come the same mussels served in five star restaurants across the globe. Long heralded as the best tasting mussels, these mussels are highly acclaimed for their tender, sweet meat and incomparable rich flavor.

"Rope grown" in controlled, natural environments, mussels cook similarly to oysters in recipes and are delicious steamed in the shell or sauteed, baked, or included in soups and stews.

Smoked Fish

Weiland's is known throughout for our wonderfully tasty smoked seafood. Fresh 2-3 times per week, and if you time it correctly, you might find it warm, right out of the roaster!

Smoked Salmon

Weiland's uses strictly fresh Royal Canadian Atlantic salmon fillets. Our staff brines them in salt, brown sugar and lemon. Once removed from the brine, the fillets are air-dried for 40 hours and then smoked with a blend of fruit and hardwoods.

Smoked Trout

Fresh Canadian Ruby Rainbow Trout fillets are soaked in a slightly sweeter brine, using a bit more brown sugar and a touch of soy sauce. They are then dried and smoked like the salmon but are a little milder and more delicate in taste and texture.

Frozen Specialties

Some tasty treats you will find in our freezer case include:

  • King Crab Legs
  • Snow Crab Clusters
  • Frog Legs
  • Escargot
