I go to Baltimore every year on a crab eating junket. Last year, I ate at Captain James for the first time and really enjoyed it. This year, I ate there twice. I was especially impressed with the size their medium crabs; many were closer to what I would call large.
The first night I was in town, I ate at LP Steamers, one of my favorite crab places, but the next night, I found all the crabs at Captain James were heavy, as opposed to Steamers. I opted for another go at Captain James on my last night in town and the same was true--all the crabs were a very good size and all were heavy.
They have an "all you can eat crabs" deal on Monday through Thursday. I had heard that those crabs might be lighter and/or smaller. My friend went for the "all you can eat" and he said all his crabs were pretty heavy and, as I could see, a good size. All you can eat has a 2 hour limit, though we went late and they did not cut him off after 2 hours.
The wait staff are awesome at Captain James and the food is excellent! Sitting on the deck, by the water, is great. It was a very hot day and evening, but there was a nice breeze and so it was quite comfortable. Crabs at Captain James were about $10 pricer than L P Steamers, but worth it, I thought. I will definitely be back.
