Let me start by saying I'm a Blue Crab Addict, the first step in recovery is Acknowledgment and I don't want help!!!!! Captain Moe's is my neighborhood go-to crab spot. I used to frequent Moe's Seafood before it closed, and I would alternate between the two, but now Captain Moe's has my loyalty. I hit this spot at least once a week, sometimes twice, and they never disappoint. The crabs are always fresh, meaty, and flavorful. The size is exactly what I expect, and I usually get large males that are consistently on point. The guys in the back are friendly and make the experience even better. Week after week, Captain Moe's delivers. If you want crabs that are good, meaty, and consistently delicious, this is the place. read more

Captain Mo's Seafood - Large Males - Seafood Near Me - White Plains, Maryland

Great service but overpriced for Jumbo males crabs. As someone who LOVES crabs and partake weekly, this was a let down. The crabs themselves were a decent size and were meaty. BUT they lacked good taste. A Maryland Blue Crab has a sweet flavor. These were bitter. I would like to say that I will try them again, but I'm not certain. I paid $55 for a half dozen, jumbo, male crabs. #Meh​ read more

I tried MO's for the first time today. The crabs were super light and mushy. I was very disappointed because it was a waste of money. However, the customer service was excellent. read more

The Crabs are ALWAYS FRESH!! So delicious. I'm not even a crab person. Captain MO's changed that. A little pricey but worth it.

I bought a dozen large males yesterday from Captain MO's. I paid $90.00 and I was highly disappointed. Crabs were absolutely horrible, light weight and extremely salty and three out the batch were mooshy (uneatable). I also noticed crabs had a lot of water in them and let me also add that they weren't large to my standards! I took a hit but never again. read more

Good crabs, good price quick service. Convenient easy location, right off of 301. I will definitely order again and recommend to others! read more

I bought a dozen crabs the other day for 45 dollars, when I got home half of the crab were small and old, check ur crabs before you leave will not buy again read more

I LOVEEEEE Captain Mo's Seafood! I drive there almost every other week for some crabs about 35 mins away. Customer service is always on point every single time! I love the fact that I can call to place my order ahead of time almost anytime except holidays which are first come first serve (line can be crazy then). Please don't go expecting a fancy place to sit and eat at, but expect heavy quality crabs, nice employees and your moneys worth! read more

Captain Mo's Seafood - Medium Male Crabs - Seafood Near Me - White Plains, Maryland

Quality of the cook on the crabs is sub par. This used to be my go-to spot for crabs. However, I purchased 2 doz LG male crabs ($150) on 10/24... crabs Definitely not steamed, more like boiled... full of water. Upon opening 60% of crabs, water poured out. We waited while they were cooked, so NO they were not sitting. They were simply cooked in too much water,(evident by the amount of water in the crabs) vice steamed. This was a waste of $150.00. Never again. read more

A little pricey but good. Make sure you do a call ahead for the big crabs. This is a order and go spot

Crabs a great here. A tad pricey BUT totally worth the cost. Have not been disappointed in any purchase. Friendly staff.

I have been waiting for the 2020 crab season. Checked Capt. Mo's FB page to see if they were opened. Yup so excited. Placed my order for a 2 pm pickup. Asked should I pay now, how will you keep social distancing in such a small space, etc. The young lady said that it would be controlled. Arrive at 1:45 pm. The line was outside for the pickup window. It was down the sidewalk. I called to see if I had to stand in the line because I reserved my crabs for 2 pm. Yes, I do and the line consisted of people both who ordered crabs and who just walked up. The ONLY reason I waited is because my mother was looking forward to crabs. The crabs were not hot, not warm, not cold. Room temperature. Same thing happened last Mother's Day. I ordered crabs and stood in the line with everyone else. By the time I reached my turn they sold all the males. I accepted female crabs. What's the purpose of pre orders? They could at least have 2 lines and process the pre orders first. I will not be doing that again. I have 2 crab restaurants with 10 minutes near me that have delicious crabs. The specials are not always comparable to Mo's, but that's ok. I'll drive down literally, down the street. read more

Captain Mo's Seafood - Horrible...overcooked the crabs! Nothing but mush smh... - Seafood Near Me - White Plains, Maryland

This was our first time going to Mo's and we were impressed!! I was a bit leary when they said the sizes they have are small, regular, and medium for males. Of course, we ordered the mediums. They were very meaty! They were also cooked to perfection and seasoned perfectly. They will probably see me every weekend, if not more! read more

Captain Mo's Seafood - Medium males - a dozen and a half - Seafood Near Me - White Plains, Maryland

We stopped in on the way down south and ordered a half pound of steamed spicy shrimp. Half of the shrimp were given to us nearly ice cold, and a few weren't deveined properly. The spices were nice, though the sauce was just ok. My dining companion summed it up best: "we wasted our money" Maybe the crabs here are amazing, but the way they treated the shrimp makes us not want to come back. read more

Sooooooo disappointed with Capt. Moes right now. I and my family have purchased crabs from here for about 4-5 years now almost every weekend during crab season. After traveling 45 minutes to purchase large crabs I get home and realize I have a bag full of JUNK. I immediately called back and was told to bring the crabs back (which is crazy to me) but I did ONLY to be told they would replace 4 crabs because 2 were the right size. One mind you was not even opened. As much as it hurts me I will not purchase any more crabs from this place again. I will further place on my page for all the crab lovers I know that supports this place. I continued opening crabs looking for meat because I could not believe I had a bag of junk....not from Captain Mo'! Because of my loyalty to them I was willing to look over this and move forward BUT could not believe they were actually only going to give me 4 crabs after my wasted 45 minute drive there days earlier and another 45 minutes this day to bring them back! No consideration for my gas which is extremely high!!! Capt. Moes I am really saddened at the way you treat your customers....especially after my true loyalty and support of your business. read more

Hands down the best crabs in Southern Maryland! I always go with half dozen mediums. I crave these crabs... I tried other places but no other place is true to size and size matters. I always get nice full meaty crabs . I've been going to the place for at least 4-5 years. I've seen people drive from DC, Clinton and other places to get a taste of Capt Moes! Has never disappointed me!!! read more

I know it's not officially crab season yet, but if you say you have large crabs I expect them to be LARGE crabs... I won't be spending my coins with this establishment anymore!!! read more

Snow crab legs were a nice size for $15/lb. & delicious. Now, the mixed brown and small female crabs for $30/2 dozen were empty and tasteless and appeared to be recooked.... HORRIBLE!!! I doubt if I'd recommend this place to anyone. Go ahead and take the drive to the Wharf in DC. read more

I was very displeased with the crabs. I purchased two dozens of large female crabs and was given all small females. I realize this is not the peak season; however, I will give them back before I expect such small crabs again. Please check your bag before you drive away. read more

Captain Mo's Seafood - I purchased large crabs and was given small. - Seafood Near Me - White Plains, Maryland

We have been going there for about 6 years. Always very happy and satisfied with the crabs. We have recommended many of our friends and family. This year we have been there Many times, the Entire summer, and they have NEVER been good! We would have talked to the owners but every time we go, there's either a kid or someone who doesn't seem to really care. We are so sad, because we were Very loyal customers. read more

I was a long time customer of Captain Mo's until my last visit! I paid for dozen of large and every crab was empty and overcooked! I was going to call and complain but what's the use?! I know many people that have called them and complained about their order but they got treated like crap. I've even watched a lady come back with her bag of crabs to complain and they looked at her like she was crazy! They had no empathy! I'll just have to eat this one and never return. It just really sucks to spend over $100 for crabs and they're empty! I have no problem with paying for good food however, don't ever try to play me! I feel like I got taken advantage of! Whoever bagged my crabs should really be ashamed of themselves. They knew those crabs weren't large. I normally by a dozen for myself and can only eat 5 and I save the rest for the next day but I ate every crab in one setting this time because there was no meat! There customer service is horrible! Go at your own risk! Make sure you check your bag before you drive off. Don't let them get over on you because they will try! read more

Every time I order from them I'm never disappointed. Get there early on holidays because lines are extensively long. On regular days you still see crowds and many time they sell out that should tell you something about what the crabs are like. I've ordered small and they were meaty and then I've ordered the huge females and they are soo worth it. The shrimp is one of my favorite you can taste the freshness. read more

It is official they have definitely lost their mojo! Customer service has always sucked, but I put up with it for many years because of the quality of the crabs, and preparation. For the past few years, it has been hit or misses, but I stayed with them because I didn't want to take the drive to the Wharf in DC. This weekend was my absolute final straw, I will never purchase seafood from Captain Mo's in Laplata, MD again!!!! I spent $165 for 2 dozen medium males and 2 dozen regular males. The medium males were more than likely prepared the day before and reheated or dead when they cooked them, and the regular males should've been left in the ocean for maturity purposes, as they truly were extra small crabs and cold. read more

Called in my order before coming. Gave me a price of $55 for half a bushel. Got there and still have to wait and they changed my price to $65. The girl was rude. She needs some customer service training read more

Please be weary of ordering crabs from here. My sister called and ordered crabs for today (Sunday 5/26) on Wednesday. We got there 5 min early and were informed they were out of small crabs (the crabs we ordered) and they were just going to give us female instead. When we informed them they had been ordered, the guy said "yea I see it here but we are out. " No apologies or anything we left without . We were very disappointed that we had ordered crabs from there and there were no regards for that. What is the point of taking orders, if you're just going to sell out of them. read more

So I call in to preorder snow crab legs which they said you can't you have to be there. I ask what time do you close they say 7pm. I said ok so I drive and let me say it was 6:15ish but when I get there they tell me the boiler is off. So why not say that we stop steaming at a certain time no need to drive here! read more

Ordered four dozen crab legs and was quite disappointed! Meat was very dry inside! Don't know if they were overcooked or just not fresh!! So disappointed!!! read more

Whew! This place has the freshest seafood in the area. Be sure to order ahead because they sell out FAST!! They normally have two lines that service walkins and phone orders. Will definitely be back for more of those Large Males!! read more

HEY MO!!! Larry and Curly have decided that TODAY is the LAST time for me being a customer of Captain Mo's. The service has spiraled uncontrollably downhill all summer finally coming to rest in the valley of despair. Never again. I will be going to ABNER's CRAB HOUSE in Chesapeake Beach. The distance from me is the same for both but I get better service by the water and better quality crabs with better seasoning. Bye Mo. read more

I consider myself a regular customer and was very disappointed in the crabs I purchased on Friday, April 24. I requested 1 dozen large male and received a mix of regular and some medium, not one large crab in the bag. The reason I definitely know this is because when I bring home the large crabs they do not fit in my container, I have to use two. When I got these home on Friday, every last one of the crabs fit into the container. Not too happy spending the money and not getting what I paid for. read more

My second time this year getting crabs from Captain Mo's and they have been really good. This time I went with the large, they were nice and heavy and the meat was really flavorful. Their prices are always comparable to other crab spots in the area. I called ahead to place my order and they were ready for pick-up on time. This is a pretty popular spot in Southern MD, so you definitely want to get your orders in early on the weekends and the holidays; they sell out fast. I wouldn't suggest getting the steamed shrimp here. I've had them once, not good. Pre-cooked, small, no flavor. Stick with the crabs, and you are sure to enjoy. read more

Captain Mo's Seafood - Large males with extra old bay - Seafood Near Me - White Plains, Maryland

The only place I'll get crabs from. I would refer them to anyone! They are fast and crabs are never a disappointment!

We saw a line going outside Captain Mo's while traveling back home. We decided to stop in and buy crabs while heading home during Labor Day weekend. We were not disappointed. The crabs (#1 males) were meaty and delicious. Some of the best we've ever had. The place is not much on decor but who cares, we're eating some good Maryland blue crabs. My wife and I highly recommend this establishment. read more

You know a place is good when you call in and the line is bust or you show up and there's a line outside with laughter and stories on how folks can't wait to devour their sweet tasty gem from the sea. I've purchased crabs from other establishments in the area, they are fair and the crabs are meaty. read more

Most of the time they are good, but can't give it more than three stars, because it is "sometimey." When you pay good money for nice sized crabs and end up with a bag of whiteys (light crabs for DC non-natives) it can turn a good meal bad real fast. I had light ones Friday and we were pretty annoyed. I know some crab places that let you know when the crabs are light and price them appropriately. I know the meat is in a shell, but they know when the crabs are running light. I'd rather eat smaller heavy crabs then huge light ones. They are the closest crab place to me and usually good, so I sometimes roll the dice with them. read more

My twin and I love this hidden Gem in Charles Co. It's so close to my HM and the crabs r delish!! I just wish they would order more Females to last till closing...
