On the first oyster, the knife slipped and I jabbed by palm. Thank god I bought the oyster knife or the regular knife would be sticking out the back of my hand.

Call ahead if you questions or requests to save yourself time, the standards will be in stock. The people and the service you get is as good as it gets. If the place is not crazy talk to this great bunch of nice folks who know their stuff. When it gets crazy be patient please because seafood takes time and is hells hard work. Enjoy!

Don't worry, you'll know you're at the right place by the big old parked trailer that says "open to public drive up to gate"! We were looking for fresh and reasonably priced white fish so we got a pound of whiting. It was great pan fried for dinner and the ladies at the counter that helped us out were quite nice. It was a bummer they ran out of cod, so we will have to come back earlier in the day next time.

Well, I stumbled across this gem, Conrad's Crabs & Seafood Market, all by buying some golf clubs…read moreoff of Facebook.Wow, I'm so glad I was able to buy these golf clubs and got them at a great price. that way, I had extra money left over to try this delicious seafood. All I did was a simple Google search and, of course, saw an amazing Yelp review. Now that I stumbled across this place, I knew it was a good seafood spot to grab some food from. For one, they had one building, but they purchased another building that was right next to it just for more parking. Also, there was a mirror on the wall that said they catch the fish fresh themselves from the boat. Now, of course, me having such great humor, I asked the staff, "Do you know what boat stands for?" And of course, they didn't. I said, "Bust out another thousand." That's how I know they were making good money and selling good food, because that boat costs money--and of course, you can't forget the parking lot that they bought just for more parking! Now, I live about two hours away from this spot, and I will not hesitate to fill up my car with some amazing gasoline since I sold my Tesla due to a bunch of system malfunctions, but I'm always gonna be ready to hit the road. Go down here, get an amazing crab cake which was delicious. The fries were so crispy, it was great. The fish of the day was catfish,and man, I tell you, it did have me purring with delight and satisfaction. The customer service was great, although they did not have a bathroom, but that's pretty normal because it is a takeout spot. -- B L E E AKA Branden-Lee Butler

Something you can get battered, cooked and served hot and ready to eat at any chippie in the British Commonwealth at two in the morning - with free fries - wrapped in a newspaper for an awful lot less than this cod! I mean, the cod at Today's Catch costs as much as the rockfish next to it. By contrast, Giant currently offers cod at $12 for TWO POUNDS. Sure, maybe Today's Catch IS better and fresher - but is it 5X better? For cod? Yikes.

Eating fattie blue crabs is one of my fave pastimes. Especially when they were this delish. These delivered on all fronts. Each one was packed, flavorful, and seasoned just enough to enhance, not mask, the natural character of the meat. Crab picking, of course, is never just about eating. It is ritual. It is conversation stretched across paper-covered tables, the rhythm of mallets and knives, and the quiet competition over who can coax out the largest lump intact. It is the kind of meal that slows you down and draws people together, the way it has for generations along the Bay. If ya know ya know Make sure to call ahead. They steam to order. Add some sweet corn, Md crab soup, steamed shrimp, soft shells, and butter OFC!

I tried to pay cash but the cashier counted only $30 so I paid on my credit card. Before I even had the opportunity to use the touch pad to put in a tip she immediately hit enter several times so it bypassed all the options for tip, text receipt etc.... I was thinking ok, not wanting a tip I guess. It seemed rather rude. While we waited I counted my cash and I did have $40 so I'm not sure what was up with her math. Food came out really fast. Our drive was not far so our food should have been hot. Instead the small racquet ball size crab cakes were cold. I don't even think they were cooked thru. I had to stick in air fryer to get them warmed up. The coleslaw which on previous visits was good lacked any flavor besides mayonnaise. My poor wife cracked down on a sharp pointy shell in her crab cake. Needless to say we were both disappointed and still hungry. I'm not sure what happened but we won't be going back anytime soon. I think we'll stick with Pappas.

The Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes were the star of the meal--packed with large pieces of sweet crab meat, lightly seasoned, and cooked to perfection with very little filler. The Haddock was fresh, flaky, and perfectly fried with a light, crispy coating. We also ordered the Pot Boil with crabs, shrimp, and snow crab legs, and it did not disappoint. The seafood was fresh, generously portioned, and seasoned just right, making it a fun and satisfying meal to share. What made the experience even better was the outstanding staff. Everyone was incredibly attentive, friendly, and accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed and taking the time to answer our questions with a smile. Their excellent service truly elevated the entire dining experience. If you're visiting Baltimore and love fresh seafood, Faidley's at the new Lexington Market is a must-visit.

I was only there for a short time, and this restaurant was at the top of my list. When we arrived, a very pleasant staff member greeted us. She was patient, knowledgeable about the menu, and even let us sample the soups before we ordered. We got the jumbo lump crab cake, clam chowder, shrimp-stuffed crab, greens, macaroni and cheese, and coleslaw. As a seafood lover, I thought the food was absolutely delicious--an easy 10 out of 10. The staff inside also provided great customer service. Unfortunately, the rest of our experience was disappointing. The patio was the only area with regular seating; inside, the tables are standing tables. We were eating on the patio when the owner came out and took the hot sauce bottle, explaining that we couldn't keep it at the table. She offered to bring us some hot sauce to go, which was fine. About 10 minutes later, she returned and said the patio would need to close soon. It was around 4 p.m., and the restaurant closes at 5:30, so we were surprised. We acknowledged her and continued eating. About 15 minutes later, she came back and asked if we wanted to-go boxes. At that point, we told her we felt rushed. She said she needed to close and lock up the patio. We told her there was no sign posted saying the patio closed early and asked how we were supposed to know. She dismissed our concern and casually replied, "Well, I guess I can put one up." I believe the owner's name was Nancy, but one of the workers inside told us her name was Eve. That interaction took away from what had started as a great meal. We had traveled about 40 minutes by Uber, spent over $100, and explained that this was our first visit to Baltimore and the first stop on our itinerary. Even though the food was a 10 out of 10, customer service triumphs over the food for me. I'm spending my hard-earned money, and I expect to feel welcome while doing so. It's sad to say, but I will not be returning.
