Trade supply
Our own trucks, our own schedule
Shoreline sells retail crabs, wholesale crabs and seafood, and runs the feast business off the back of the same supply. For a restaurant, a market or a caterer, the useful part is the middle one, and the useful detail is that the trucks are ours.
Shoreline Seafood, Inc. has held active motor carrier authority since 1994 and runs its own vehicles out of Queenstown. That is why the delivery side works the way it does: there is no freight company between the product and your door, and no third party deciding when your order moves.
What is available and what it costs moves with the season, the weather and the market, which is why there is no price list on this page. Call (443) 258-1506 and you will get a straight answer on today.
Who we supply
The trade side
Wholesale seafood is the part of Shoreline that most people never see. It is also the reason the market and the feasts work: the same supply feeds all three.
Restaurants
Crabs and seafood delivered on a schedule you can build a menu around, from a company whose whole business is the same product.
Markets and retailers
Wholesale volume from a market that runs its own retail case, so we know what yours has to look like at four in the afternoon.
Caterers and clubs
If you run the event yourself and only need the seafood, this is the side of Shoreline to call.
How it works
Setting up a trade account
Call and tell us what you use
Crabs, shrimp, oysters, fish: what you go through in a normal week, and on a busy one. That is enough for us to tell you what we can commit to.
We quote the current market
Wholesale crab pricing moves with the season and the boats, so we quote today rather than publish a list that is wrong by next week.
We deliver on our own trucks
Shoreline holds its own motor carrier authority and runs its own vehicles out of Queenstown. No freight company sits between our dock and your door.
Common questions
About wholesale
What do you supply?
Crabs and seafood, wholesale. What is available and what it costs moves with the season and the market, so it is a phone conversation: (443) 258-1506.
Do you deliver, or do we collect?
We run our own trucks and hold active motor carrier authority, so we deliver. That is the point of doing it this way: your order moves on our schedule, not a freight company's.
Can we set up a standing order?
Call and talk it through. Tell us what you go through and how often, and we will tell you what we can commit to.
How long have you been doing this?
Shoreline Seafood, Inc. has been on the federal motor carrier record since 1994, out of Queenstown, Maryland. The story.
Do you sell to caterers and event companies?
Yes. If you run the event yourself and only need the seafood, this is the side of Shoreline to call. Tell us the date and the volume and we will tell you what we can commit to for it.
Can a trade order be collected instead of delivered?
Ask when you call. The market at 131 Surrey Lane in Queenstown is open seven days, 8:30 to 7, and for some buyers collecting there suits better than a delivery.
Is there a minimum order?
Not one we publish. Volume and frequency are part of the conversation, and the answer depends on the product and the season, so it is a phone call rather than a number on a page.
