    Large Males
    Theresa H.

    We wanted Steamed Crabs so we found this place 2 blocks from our Hotel. We ordered a Dozen Large Males with 2 Ears of Corn. They didn't look Large to me, more like Medium and they didn't have enough seasoning on them that I'm so used too. But they did have a nice sweet taste and the Ear of Corn were nice and crunchy. The two Gentlemen that worked there were very hospitable.

    As you walk up, you'd think that this little spot was just an everyday seafood market. It's rustic…read moreand nautical. It feels as if you walked right onto the ocean shore. Everyone is kind and knowledgeable. Everything is fresh and delicious! It's a little pricy. But, it's worth every penny. They have outdoor seating. So, if the weather is bad. Be ready, to take it to go. Every time we're in town, Crabs-To-Go is our go to spot. We've ordered crab cakes, cream of crab soup, and plenty of other sides. The cream of crab soup is my favorite. It's creamy, flavorful, and rich. You will get a bite of crab in every spoon full. It's sweet, flaky, and delicate! Pure heaven. Make sure to stir it if you're sharing. The crab falls all to the bottom. Cream of Crab Soup- This soup is smooth, rich, and velvety. It is made in house the potatoes are soft and creamy, the vegetables are soft and flavorful, and the crab melts in your mouth! If you love crab, this soup is made for you. It has so many layers of dreamy, delicious, seafood flavors. It's very rich. So, don't eat too much, lol. Try your best to control yourself. Maryland Crab Cake Meal-This meal is a little bit pricy is cost $45 for two crab cakes and two sides. But, it's worth it! The crab cakes are crumbly, and crispy on the outside. And, light and flaky on the inside. They're briny, savory, and delicious all in one bite I like it with just a touch of freshly squeezed lemon juice. It adds that fresh pop of acidity that ties the whole dish together. Onion Rings- The onion rings were crunchy, crispy, and chewy on the outside, and juicy, sweet, and succulent on the inside. They were cooked to perfection! One of the best onion rings that I've ever had! FRIES The fries were crispy and crunchy on the outside while being creamy on fluffy on the inside. They were pure heaven! And, they had a zesty salty seasoning on the outside that made them pure perfection! All in all, from the minute that you walk up to the second that you walk out. Everything is absolutely perfect! If you come here, you'll definitely have a new favorite spot to come. But, most of all. You'll have a heavily meal. No mater, what you choose to get. So, stop by for some fresh seafood. You won't regret it!

    This is our favorite spot for seafood. But today Sunday I ordered online no need to say what I…read moreordered but THEY FORGOT TO PACK THE ONION RINGS, so I called the young girl said I' m sorry, I figured she would have said come back and I will have it ready, or Let me credit you back this amount ( under sides) for the unpacked onion rings that went with my order, so let down SO IF YOU ARE PICKING UP CARRY OUT/ TAKE AWAY PLEASE OPEN YOUR CONTAINERS TO ENSURE ALL YOUR ITEMS YOU PAID FOR ARE IN YOUR CARRY OUT/ TAKE AWAY BAG, I will now check my orders.

    "Baby Ruths and Blue Crabs: a Maryland treasure"…read more Tucked just off the beaten path in southern Maryland sits a true hidden gem of a crab shack -- the kind of place where GPS starts to doubt itself but your nose knows you're close when you catch that glorious whiff of Old Bay and salt air. I ordered several dozen male blue crabs, and the gentleman running the shop steamed them fresh while I waited. He couldn't have been kinder or more helpful -- walking my Yankee self through the local crab routine like a patient professor of Maryland seafood. I even picked up paper and mallets for future crab feasts, because once you start cracking shells, there's no going back. The crabs came out piping hot, juicy, and unbelievably sweet -- some of the best I've ever had, maybe the best. They were just as delicious cold later on, and I had plenty to share (though sharing was optional). The fresh air off the water, the sunshine, and the friendly folks waiting on their own orders made the whole experience feel like a snapshot of authentic coastal life. Before I left, I remembered I had a stash of Baby Ruth candy bars in my trunk -- so naturally, I handed a few out to the kind man steaming the crabs and some fellow customers waiting for their orders. Nothing says "Southern hospitality meets Northern charm" quite like fresh crabs and surprise candy. This isn't a sit-down spot -- it's a genuine crab-to-go shack, and that's exactly its charm. Bring your own cooler if you plan to take a bunch home, because you'll absolutely want to. No frills, no fuss -- just pure Maryland magic by the dozen.

You seat yourself (which is somewhat confusing as there's no sign that states that so you end up hanging out at the door until staff tells you) and then someone takes your order. For being sk busy, the food came out in a good amount of time. Decided on the jalapeno poppers and rockfish bites to start. Both were solid appetizers. The poppers came out hot, so definitely wait a little before taking your first bite. Rockfish was good and seasoned well - didn't need the sauce that accompanied the app. For my entree, I had the rockfish tacos, which were delicious. The two tacos came with a generous portion of rockfish that was topped with slaw, sauce, etc. I added some hotsauce (grab at the bar yourself) for that extra kick. I also tried some of the steamed shrimp, which was really good. Pretty simple as it just had Old Bay, but who doesn't like Old Bay?! Washed my meal down with hard seltzer (can grab yourself up front). They also have a few beers on tap. Overall a solid spot for seafood while in Ocean City.

We walked from our hotel and checked in about 15min before our reservation, and were immediately sat. Don't seem overly busy which is never a good thing in a vacation destination. We were sat along the windows and put in a drink order. I got an old fashioned which was fine. I ordered the cream of crab soup as a starter. Soup was solid, but the flavor was pretty lacking. As my entree I went with the bleu cheese encrusted steak. I ordered it medium-well, which is what you do at a place that doesn't have steak in its name or isn't billed as a steakhouse. That way when the undercook it (as most do) it'll be the preferred medium temp. Anyway, the steak came out and WAS NOT encrusted.

The waiter brings the bill and said some of my drinks were taken cared of (I ordered two in total) and instead only one was removed. Waste of fucking time and money.
