Awful market!…read more Clean?? Fresh produce?? Have been in here twice: each time they fudge the prices. They lie. Up selling expired wines and beer. A five pack (missing 1 brew) is priced as a 6 pack at full price.. Produce has brown marks and is wilted. Prices on condiments, grains, peanut butter, mustard, cookies and all else is more expensive than quality items at brand stores. The butcher looks so unsanitary I have never approached it; it has hand-smears, dried blood streaks. Tellers cheat on prices. They have underage employees carding people. If there is no price: they just make it up! Outside trash blows. Gum sticks to shoes. It's next to bombed-out store fronts. Could be misunderstood for a local garbage dump. Carts in the road..

Now I believe they gave me some that was already cooked...but at least they were cooked right. BUT...again the crabs were miss labeled AGAIN...Smdh. I have a crab ruler and they were on the small size of premium crabs. So again can you all stop saying they are one size when they are not!?! Now the seasoning was fire and I'm glad I asked about other flavors because the garlic and spicy seasoning is definitely where's its at!! Now I have them an extra star because I had brought my baby Jade a yorkie with me and Bob was nice and was given her treats which she enjoyed. That was very nice. I will god back to them only because of how the crabs were cooked and tasted. But...I will ask to see the crabs beforehand and make sure they cook them fresh because I do not want any crabs already cooked and don't know how long they were sitting.

The fried shrimp had more flour than shrimp, good portion. Ate them all, so at minimum they are eatable. But not worth 7 dollars. The last part was the fries. They are crinkle cut which is a plus. Huge portion. But tasteless. Ketchup barely helped the poor things. It's like the grease used to fry all this was not hot enough. None were crispy. A touch undercooked. Cost was 26 dollars. Waste of money.

From the outside, it doesn't scream much - just another unassuming roadside spot - but like any true Southern Maryland crab shack, the magic is all on the inside. This place is gloriously unfussy. No frills, no pretense. Just good food and a communal love of Old Bay. When you walk in, you'll head straight to the order window, where you'll also claim your table. It's usually hopping with locals and regulars, but even when it's packed, the wait for a table isn't bad. The dining setup is pure crab-feast efficiency: cardboard paper tablecloths, buckets for the shells, a roll of paper towels, and of course, the sacred tools of the trade--wooden mallets, crab knives, and an "I dare you not to get messy" vibe. They'll bring you a pitcher of water, and then the feast begins. Crabs come in half-dozens, full dozens, or more if you're rolling deep (and hungry). The sides hit just right: crispy hush puppies, creamy mac 'n cheese, buttery corn on the cob, greens, slaw - you name it. And if crabs aren't your thing (first of all, why not?!), there's fried shrimp, clams, oysters, po' boys, sandwiches, and all the seafood comfort classics. Wash it down with a cold beer or cocktail, and you're golden. The service? Friendly, fast, and no-nonsense in the best way. These folks have the whole crab shack dance down to a science. You're in, you're fed, you're full, and you leave smelling vaguely of the Chesapeake (just as it should be). Bottom line: Grinder's is the real deal. Perfect post-paddle, perfect anytime. Affordable, authentic, and absolutely delicious. If you're in the neighborhood, don't miss it, just bring your appetite and maybe a wet wipe or two.

And the seafood is FRESH fresh. I even got a live performance from one of the crabs trying to make an escape. I vaguely remember Captain White's from the old Wharf days, so it was nice finally checking out the newer setup. If I were big on cooking seafood at home, I could definitely see myself stopping here whenever I'm in the area. I picked up shrimp and a whole Dungeness crab. Very expensive, in my opinion, but I wanted to try it. This was actually my first time eating Dungeness crab. It had a LOT of meat, which I appreciated. The flavor was a little different for me--definitely an acquired taste--but it was good. The shrimp was tasty too. I cooked it at home in a light Old Bay butter and THAT was the move. Overall, quite the seafood experience. Come prepared for crowds, plenty of choices...and apparently live entertainment from the crabs.

Captain White Seafood Review - 10/10…read more If fresh seafood is what you're looking for, Captain White is one of my favorite places to shop. I've been there several times, and the quality has always been consistent. It's always busy, which tells me people know they're getting fresh seafood. Even when the parking lot is packed, there's plenty of free parking, so I've never had trouble finding a space. The atmosphere is exactly what you'd expect from a seafood market. You'll smell fresh fish when you walk in, but it's not an unpleasant odor--it's simply the smell of fresh seafood. One of the things I appreciate most is the staff. They've always been friendly, patient, and helpful whenever I've needed assistance or had questions. Over the years, I've purchased crabs , oysters , black bass, whiting, trout, spot, crawfish , and shrimp . Every purchase has been fresh and delicious. Their tartar sauce is also worth picking up if you're planning a seafood dinner. Now, I'm not a crab expert, so I can't compare them to every seafood market around. I can only speak from my own experience, and the crabs I've purchased have always been good. If you're going for crabs, get there early. They sell quickly, especially during the summer months. Another reason I keep coming back is the daily specials. They often have great seasonal deals, making it a perfect time to stock up on fresh seafood. Final Rating: 10/10 Fresh seafood, helpful staff, free parking, and consistently great quality make Captain White a place I'll continue to recommend.
