Delaware Seafood Boil, Fresh and Ready to Steam at Home
A Delaware beach week runs on easy dinners and full tables. The best seafood boil in the area does not tie you to a restaurant reservation or leave you with a sink full of pots at the end of the night. It comes in a bucket, packed fresh the morning you pick it up in Bethany Beach, ready to spread across the table back at the house. Topsail Steamer brings the coastal feast to Delaware. Order a seafood boil, carry it home, steam it up, and pour it out. No shopping. No prep.
What is in a Delaware Topsail Steamer steam pot
Every boil starts with a Bay Bucket, our take-home steam pot. Pick one of eight signature Bay Buckets or build your own from shrimp, snow crab, lobster, clams, scallops, sausage, corn, and potatoes. It comes in two sizes: the Low Tider for two to three people and the High Tider for four to six. Everything is portioned and seasoned, ready to steam. Add water to the pot, set it on the stove, and steam it about 40 minutes, then tip it straight onto a lined table.
Find your Delaware location
Steamer sits right in Bethany Beach, so a fresh boil is a quick stop on the way back from the sand. Order ahead and it is packed and waiting:
Summer weekends move fast at the Delaware beaches, so a day-ahead order is the difference between dinner on the deck and a scramble.
How the steam pot works: no toil, just boil
A Topsail Steamer boil is built for people who want the feast without the fuss. There is no seafood to clean, no broth to watch, no heavy pot to scrub afterward. Bring the bucket home, set the pot on the stove, add water, and steam it for about 40 minutes. Then the table is loud and the shells are stacking up. The bucket does the work; you just set the table.

The Topsail Steamer story
Topsail Steamer started in 2017 in Surf City, North Carolina, as one small shop with a big idea: the coastal seafood feast, boxed up to take home. It caught on. The concept reached national television with a Season 16 Shark Tank appearance and has grown to more than 10 locations across five states, Delaware among them. It is the leading seafood steampot franchise in the country, a category Topsail Steamer built. Family-run from the start, and still founder-led by Danielle Mahon.
Frequently asked questions
What comes in a Topsail Steamer seafood boil?
Every Topsail Steamer seafood boil is a Bay Bucket steam pot filled with fresh seafood, seasoned and portioned, ready to steam. You pick from eight signature Bay Buckets or build your own with shrimp, snow crab, lobster, clams, scallops, sausage, corn, and potatoes. You steam it at home in the pot it comes in, about 40 minutes on the stove, then pour it out. Compared with shopping and prepping a boil from scratch, it is a shortcut with no compromise.
Where can I buy a seafood boil in Delaware?
You can pick one up at our Bethany Beach location on the Delaware shore. Order ahead for weekends and holidays, when the beach towns fill up. If you are not close by, Topsail Steamer ships nationwide through Goldbelly, so a Delaware gathering can still get a fresh boil at the door.
Do I have to cook it myself?
Only the steaming, which is the easy part. Add water to the pot Topsail Steamer gives you, set it on the stove, and steam about 40 minutes. Everything comes portioned and seasoned, so there is no shopping, no prep, and no seafood to clean. The steam pot is built to hand you the feast without the prep or the cleanup.
How many people does one pot feed?
One Bay Bucket comes in two sizes, the Low Tider, which feeds two to three, and the High Tider, which feeds four to six. For a bigger crowd, order several pots or ask about the Party Pot, sized for groups of 20, 30, or 40 and up. With a hungry group, size up.
Can I get a Topsail Steamer boil shipped to Delaware?
Yes. Steamer ships nationwide through Goldbelly, so you can send a boil to a Delaware address or order one for your own table when you are away from the shore. It arrives packed cold and ready to steam.
What makes a Topsail Steamer steam pot different from a restaurant seafood boil?
A restaurant keeps you at its table on its schedule, and cooking a boil at home means hours of prep and a pile of dishes. The Topsail Steamer steam pot puts the same fresh spread on your own table, on your own time, with none of the work. As the leading seafood steampot franchise in the country, it is a way of eating Topsail Steamer created.
Ready to gather? Find the Bethany Beach Topsail Steamer and order your Bay Bucket, or ship one anywhere in the country. The table is waiting.
