The Crab Plant is a delicious seafood market operated along Kings Bay at the head of the Crystal River, opened to the public in 2014 by the Kofmehl family. The family, which has operated a regional wholesale crab and grouper market since 1995, operates all of its own boats and catches fresh fish daily, bringing more than six decades of combined experience in the seafood industry to all of its operations. Visitors can peruse the facility's seafood market Tuesdays through Saturdays during the morning and afternoon hours and purchase a wide variety of fresh seafood, including fish, crab, shrimp, squid, and calamari. Delectable seafood entrees are served at lunch and dinner Tuesdays through Saturdays at the market's restaurant, including steamed seafood platters, seafood appetizers, and Southern-style entrees such as shrimp and grits, jambalaya, and clam linguine.
