Crab house · Wicomico County

"An old chicken shack is now a popular crab house for folks on the Eastern Shore. To get here, you’ll need to plan a road trip (about 2.5 hours from D.C.), but it’s a scenic detour if you’re driving to Ocean City. And the crabs pair perfectly with the restaurant’s signature fried chicken, a secret recipe since 1974. The season started on St. Patrick’s Day and spring hours expand this week (open 4 p.m. Wednesday through Friday and noon on weekends). AYCE blue crab starts at $57." - Tierney Plumb, Tim Ebner
