Blue Crabs Still Available? (And Where?)

[arnonh]

Hi, folks.

I've heard so much about the blue crabs of MD, and I happen to have the opportunity to go down there over this weekend. So, basically, 2 questions:

1. Is it still the season? Will I be able to try fresh steamed blue crabs?
2. Where would be the best place? Specifically, I'm looking for a nice shack (or any other down-to-earth place), however it should serve other things too (including non-seafood), as my wife and kids are not crab-fans...

Thanks,
Arnon

Abner's in Chesapeake Beach (A little south of Annapolis). It is as "crab shacky" as it gets.

My favorite crab house on the western shore.

I don't know yet, but I'll be accessible to wherever the best blue crabs are... ;-)

I would agree with this rec. Stay in Annapolis, which is nice any time of year, especially now when it isn't croweded with summer tourists, and drive over to Cantler's for your crabs.
