"Get cracking on Chesapeake Bay crabs at this seafood standby that opened in 1961. Steamed crabs by the platter come complete with Old Bay seasoning and brown paper-covered tables. Call in advance to make sure it is open and to reserve orders." - Claudia Rosenbaum
"A favorite place for simple, good seafood, offering Maryland blue crabs that provide comfort and nostalgia for Chef José Andrés." - Michael He
"This 60-year-old Bethesda institution operates year round, offering crabs from Louisiana, and some from the Chesapeake when they’re in season. They offer an all-you-can-eat option, as well as by-the-dozen orders (call for pricing). Those who don’t want to get picking can choose from crab cakes, shrimp, Alaskan or snow crab legs, seasonal soft shell crabs, or oysters." - Tierney Plumb
