As a Marylander, we grew up on crabs, seasoned with Old Bay and salt. Vinegar in the steaming water, and seasoned in layers. We bought our's by the dozens of bushel depending on the number of people. They were always rinsed with cold water. Bushels were dumped on the concrete and sprayed with the hose. Dead ones were thrown out. It's bound to happen that a few are lost. I can remember one grabbing my little toe wearing flip flops. Talk about hurt!😂 But man, my family loved them! My uncle took up the tradition after Grandma died. But because his wife wouldn't eat them, he would buy them pre-cooked. We'd eat out on the picnic tables in his backyard. I truly miss those days. Most of the families are scattered and the elders passed. If I get crabs now, I eat them alone . Hubby won't clean his own, and I refuse to do them for him. 😢 I still do them the old way the way my family did and I know well!!❤❤
I love it...as my Father always said, "if you don't pick'em, you don't eat'em". We were just down Costas Inn in Dundalk and the crabs were AWESOME! Captain Trey's by home in Hunt Valley are real good too! Enjoy, how bout those O'S!?
Va. Is for lovers but the best lover in the world is The Jimmy Crab .7 days locked in bliss with the female called a doubler.He protects her and loves her until she is let go to seed the bay.❤waterman. From Deal. Island here.
His list is spot on! I'm not a fan of restaurants that serve steamed crabs. When I do visit, I ask them to bring my crabs in a brown paper bag. That way, I can ensure that the crabs remain hot! When they are served on a tray, chances are some will get cool. But you can not go wrong with any of his choices! All great places!
Thanks for the tips! I grew up in Dundalk eating crabs from Neptunes (long gone)...but I have since found some great places on the eastern shore. Rock Hall, St. Michael's or Harris Crab House in Kent Narrows would make a nice day trip. For a little crab excursion on the west side of the bay, try the River Shack in Charlestown.
L.P. Steamers (South Baltimore in Locust Point - cool area) or A Captain James in Fells Point (Baltimore) - even closer to Amtrack near BWI is G&M Crabcakes
Stay at the Pendry in Fells or the Four Seasons in Harbor East…both areas have 70% less crime than other areas in Bmore and you won’t have any problems Mr Funny Man
Too bad 82 percent of them are from the gulf, with Louisiana dominating that. I’m guessing that if you don’t crab yourself, odds are you haven’t even had a Maryland crab.
Hardly…I know what I like and they’re gross. Chocolate, Vanilla & Strawberry in the good Ole USA and I like Mint Chocolate Chip! Have you been to Cantlers in Annapolis…wifey loves the soft shell crabs

Love You BALTIMORE RAVENS! 🦀
RAVENS!
I usually take my wife to Cantler's for crabs on our anniversary. Absolutely worth the trip, even though we are closer to Mike's on the South River
Cantler's is cool....I do like Mikes though too

Sad for you. Hopefully you can get you kids to pick up the tradition.
I hope you all realize most of the crab you're getting from these resturants come from Texas and La because we have so many the price is cheaper.

Love the Jimmy's! Stay for tuned for next week when I share the Best Crab Cakes in Maryland. By the way, love Deal Island - Chesapeake Bay paradise.

Check out Pirates Cove in Galesville in AAC. The crab cake is the bomb!
Angels on Harford Rd near Northern Parkway,so fresh
I lived on Fleetwood for 15 years, literally 1 block from Harford and Northern Pkwy. Where is this Angels place?
@@jayscott867 across from Valentin' o ,next to the Barber shop,on Harford rd
What happened to Jimmy's seafood?
Right on…there’s so many good places and Jimmy’s definitely ranks up on the list.
I got crabs in Baltimore in the 80’s. The doctor gave me some medication to get rid of them
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
😂
Where do most of these crabs come from? Do any come from NC?
Depends on time of year…The Bay, NC or Louisiana - get enjoy
Blue Crabs are up and down the east coast and the gulf states.
But Maryland Chesapeake Bay Crabs are known to be the best due to their sweet taste.
Where is the best restaurant that has the crab that is in the downtown and closer to baltimore maryland amtrak station
L.P. Steamers (South Baltimore in Locust Point - cool area) or A Captain James in Fells Point (Baltimore) - even closer to Amtrack near BWI is G&M Crabcakes
When is the best time to visit baltimore if its a crab season?
The Salty Dog is the BEST and it's in Dundalk off North Point blvd
Mr Mark, are you team Old Bay or team J. O. Season?
J. O baby!
You forgot seaside glen burnie
Love Seaside…The Grill has great food too since we’re talking Glen Burnie
The absolute best crab in Balmore come from Galveston Bay.
like yer mama
Like yur mama - troll mf
What Area should I get a hotel in?? Where I won't get shot
Stay at the Pendry in Fells or the Four Seasons in Harbor East…both areas have 70% less crime than other areas in Bmore and you won’t have any problems Mr Funny Man
Skipjacks, Mr Bills Terrace Inn
Only a few of the places serve 100% maryland crabs .a lot come in from Carolina and Louisiana.
There is no way Cantler's uses Old Bay on their crabs. Very few crab houses do. They all use J.O.! Their website even says so. . .
They all use Jo's crab spice, not old bay .
You lost me when you said soft shells are gross 😮 that's like saying you don't eat the mustard
pulaski highway.
This is not cool Mark you standing there talking eating over the crabs crumbs dropping into the pan please use a plate .
Too bad 82 percent of them are from the gulf, with Louisiana dominating that. I’m guessing that if you don’t crab yourself, odds are you haven’t even had a Maryland crab.
Soft is gross .. Deep Fried Hard Crabs / Now your Talking !
For real...soft crabs are gross! No clue WHAT deep fried hard crabs are though...do you batter them up and then crack open and pick?
Top shell off packed with lump meat heavily battered deep fried @@marylandhousingmarket
@@marylandhousingmarket Really ?
@@marylandhousingmarket Hales Fresh Seafood Parkville Fried Hard Crabs . Us Kids would eat them on the curb and Ocean City !
That is wild…fried hard shell crabs - I have never had one, but on it this summer
you are a crab lover and think soft crabs are gross, sorry thumbs Down
I’m a freak about food…I don’t even like eating chicken on the bone…nothing on the bone In fact
soft shells are gross? you just disqualified yourself!!!!
Hardly…I know what I like and they’re gross. Chocolate, Vanilla & Strawberry in the good Ole USA and I like Mint Chocolate Chip! Have you been to Cantlers in Annapolis…wifey loves the soft shell crabs
crabs eat poop .
they hide the poop with so much spice
i dont eat poop .
then you spend tomorrow on toilet
dumbest damn thing I've ever heard
