My daughter and I make an effort to spend a few days every year in the Grayland/Tokeland area, and we ALWAYS make a stop or 2 at the Nelson Crab place. Â We buy a little tub of fresh crab to dump into the chowder and we sit out on the picnic table and enjoy! Â We love this area for the peace and quiet, and the beautiful beach area that is nearly deserted most of the time. Â If you DO go to Tokeland, make sure you stop in here!
Review Source:Nelson crab keeps a little seafood stand open on the Tokeland peninsula, it's farmers-market style, with fresh crab, canned seafoods, and whatever else happens to be fresh that weekend. The facilities are very minimal, just a shack outside of the crab processing plant. Â But great for a quick crab cocktail or to pick up some fresh shellfish for dinner.
They also ship shelled and unshelled crab anywhere in the US. Â I have sent crab off to family and its always a welcome gift. Â
If you're making crab cakes, come here to pick up shelled crab, its much easier than trying to buy crab whole and shell them.
