Brought a jar of oysters home for my father in law and he called to let me know that they were the best he has had. He is excited for more of them.

Gary Howard is the place for fresh fish and shellfish of all types in Chincoteague. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommended to get items for a great meal or appetizers.

We come off-season every Thanksgiving week and we always make sure to stop by Gary Howard’s for oysters and steamed shrimp. There’s no other place on the island for fresh seafood. Gary has even shucked and packed oysters fresh on the spot for us!

We put together a feast of local oysters, shrimp, mussels and clams. The staff were helpful and efficient and the quality and freshness were great. Price was comparable to other shops in the area but the location was awesome for those of us on the north side of the island.

Only bought shrimp based on what they had for a selection. They were about the right price. They boiled up perfectly.BTW: The gal at the counter said that their website had not been maintained for a few years. Prices were a little higher, but the shrimp was very good.

Off and on over the years we purchased seafood here. Not this time. Walked in and nearly fell over from the rank smells. Place appeared unclean, too. No longer a viable place to frequent.

Get our bushel of crabs here every year, no issues yet. Extra old bay always requested. ?

After being let down by the seafood restaurants of Chincoteague I decided to just cook for us while on vacation. The seafood here is fresh and well priced and meant I didn't have to end my vacation without eating good seafood!

I'm from New England, living in Florida. I know my seafood, but we had never eaten steamed crabs before, and it was a bucket list item on this trip. A local recommended this place and glad she did. While it is NOT a sit down restaurant, there was a couple tables outside. The staff was super nice and accommodating providing paper to line the table, wooden mallets and melted butter (even though they didn't understand why I would have asked.) We got a dozen crabs steamed with Old Bay which was a lot of food. They offered us water, a finger bath to clean our hands, and even a tik tok trick on how to get more meat out! People were coming and going with to go orders constantly. I would recommend this place for sure, just know it's not a sit down and no restrooms.
