"Family owned and operated since 1972, Captain White’s relocated from the Wharf to Oxon Hill in late 2021. Steamed blue crabs can be ordered by the dozen, half-bushel, or bushel daily." - Tierney Plumb
"Once a long-running purveyor at the Wharf, Captain White’s Seafood relocated to Oxon Hill, Maryland after a failed lawsuit against the Wharf’s developers; before leaving it sold fish sandwiches, hush puppies and other fried bites alongside live crabs and raw seafood, and its departure in November 2021 contributed to the temporary shutdown of fryer service at the Southwest fish market." - Anna Kramer

"After a lease dispute with the Wharf’s developers I watched the iconic seafood barge that had been at the Wharf for half a century pick up and float away; fortunately it has found a new place to anchor in Prince George’s County near National Harbor at 6308 Livingston Road." - Stephanie Carter
"I learned that Captain White’s Seafood has pulled up its anchor at the Wharf after a half century of selling cooked and raw seafood there; it will operate out of some smaller barges at the Wharf’s Municipal Fish Market for the moment, though even those outlets are set to disappear shortly after Thanksgiving. The owners say they’re trying to relocate the beloved seafood stall and posted on Facebook that it was not by choice they are leaving the Wharf and that Captain White’s will continue on in a place that is more accessible and customer friendly." - Stephanie Carter
