5 Best Places for the Savored Blue Crab
You may have heard much talk about the Maryland blue crab endlessly, but are wondering what makes this crab so unique? There’s something about their taste that makes people crave them.
Chesapeake Bay crabs are famous for their unique sweetness, which is accounted for the crabs storing fat to survive hibernation during winter. Not to mention that these waters are extremely clean and clear, and the locals also work hard to protect the Bay from ocean pollution.
So what are the best places for Maryland Crabs? While there is no shortage of good crab shacks in the region, here are 5 of the most popular spots:
- Captain Billy’s Crab House
Crabs come served by the dozen in this amazing crab shack overlooking the Potomac. Along with great seafood, Captain Billy’s is also known for its sugar and honey-laced corn fritters. - Tylers Tackle Shop & Crab House
If you are looking for a bare essentials crab experience, this is the place to be. There is no dine-in option here. You can order a bushel or half-bushel of crabs and just head down to the Chesapeake Beach located down the road. - Kentmorr Restaurant and Crab House
Speaking of beaches, Kentmorr also allows you a chance to enjoy the beach experience after filling up on crabs. This crab house is conveniently located next to a beach that features hammock swing and a tropical theme - Harris Crab House
Next on our list is the Harris Crab House, which has achieved an iconic status on Kent Island. For $40, you can enjoy their all-you-can-eat steamed crab special during the week. To make the experience more delightful, try sitting in the pavilion area to enjoy some fresh air and music. - The Point Grill
Finally, we have the Point Grill, which despite its long wait time is one of the best crab shacks out there. Do try their medium and jumbo steamed crabs and also give their pickle spears a try.
