Bobo Seafood Market

This is an unassuming little place that has fresh seafood at great prices. You can buy raw or cooked and can get a low country boil for $12. It has shrimp, red potatoes, corn on the cob, crab(I think blue crab), and sausage. I’m not a big sausage eater and asked for something else instead of the sausage and they gave me extra shrimp. They have snow crab legs but I didn’t get back to try those. Hopefully next trip.

There are quite a few small seafood shops/vendors in Savannah. When I first moved here from the West Coast it was one of those Southeast quirks that thoroughly charmed me. What sets Bobo’s apart is the variety of food available. They had mussels, crayfish and snow crab legs in addition to fresh shrimp. All wonderful additions to my Holiday low country boil. And there’s been no inflation in shrimp. It’s still fresh. Lovely and the same price it’s been for years! Those items are the reason I chose this place. However, it’s 4 stars (not 5) for two reasons. 1.) The crayfish, crab and mussels were all pre-cooked and frozen. I realize it would be asking a LOT for a smaller shop to maintain that kind of inventory of fresh food and something like snow crab legs would be brutally expensive fresh. And all those seafood items get dropped into the end of the boil and work just fine. Don’t let the frozen part put you off. However, crab and mussels may not work fresh but crayfish…That’s a southern staple. Also, it’s cash only. That always puts me off a bit. Anyway, if you’re looking for the one stop shop to supply your boil, this is it.
