“First time order of Onion Soup and Salmon
Have had the soup thus far but not the Salmon
The soup seemed heavy on garlic(?) and did not cheese melt as we hoped. But will try again. Was tasty though. Will try the Salmon soon possibly over New Year’s weekend.”
“These crab cakes have a few pieces of lump crab meat on top and the rest is just filler with little to no taste. They are no better than the ones I can buy locally.”
“I purchased the seafood gumbo package containing 2 32 ounce packets of 'seafood gumbo'. I am not sure what warranted the title seafood since in the first pack I heated up there were a few really miniscule shrimp, certainly not enough to qualify for the title 'seafood'. They were tiny and tasteless and while the Andouille sausage bits were ok there weren't a lot of them either. Since the order cost me approximately $80 with shipping and handling, one packet set me back $40 and would provide enough for approximately 2 meals, certainly not the 4-5 as claimed in the product description. The sauce was ok, a little bland for a gumbo, the only real positive was the shipping, a sturdy container with dry ice that kept the packets frozen solid. I am disappointed, expecting something maybe restaurant quality for the price but not even close.”
“It was a gift. It absolutely delighted the receptionists. We told them to keep the beacon burning bright so Santa finds their house on Christmas night. Thank you!”
“My mom received this catalog in the mail and had circled like 100 things. I surprised her for her Christmas gift with many of the selections. Had never ordered before and I was pleasantly surprised with the entire process. The food arrived in a great freezer box. We loved all the dishes we tried. I think our fav was the 4 berry pie. I have since ordered for other family members. It's not the cheapest delivery food but it's great quality and great service.”
“I was very surprised that I didn't like the crab cakes. Someone else recommended them, but I found them have very little lump crab and a lot of the pulled or stringy bits of crab which was very fishy tasting. I also think Chesapeake should ideally have either free shipping over a certain amount or a "membership" program like Wild Fork where for a reasonable annual fee members get free shipping on orders of a reasonable size. The shipping costs is a huge deterrent to ordering for me, especially for new items I'm not sure if I'll like.”
“We have ordered Chesapeake Crab cakes (jumbo and minis) for many years. While my husband and I still enjoy them more than most others we’ve tried, we are disappointed that the quality has diminished over the last few years, while the prices have not. Due to overfishing (?), inflation (?), labor costs, (?), I don’t know, but they are not what they used to be. They have far less lump meat, and more filler than in the past. While the flavor is consistent, the quality and amount of crab is not.”
“The crab cakes were just as I remembered from my Maryland days! So good in fact that I placed another order for Christmas! I highly recommend this company!”
“Purchased the dozen perfect crab cakes! Outstanding as usual! Crab meat is picked perfectly with no shell pieces! Highly recommend to all my friends and family!”
