Blue crabs are great in the fall...full and sweet. Note:the maryland crabbing season ends the end of November. Then crabs have to be shipped in from the Carolinas, Florida etc. That = higher prices.Upvoted Dec 13, 2024
If you want fresh and tasty crabs. Go to Jessie's boat where the raw fish sits directly to the right of the main entrance. Then take them across the way to have them steamed there for 18 minutes.
Nice destination to go for a stroll. Great views with cozy feeling cobblestone sidewalks. Save money by taking public transportation or ride-share. Parking is expensive!
Walk to the end of the dock and check out the view of the harbor with the monument in the background.
Pui Hong AngApril 8, 2016Get here for some excellent seafood in the shabbiest setting possible before it is gone to development.
Kels C.July 21, 2019Gorgeous place to go for a stroll, shop, eat or just chill by the water and listen to the music.
Fresh raw fish of all kinds. Construction going on all around,but they are open !
Captain White'a is everything with the best prices for quality seafood and the friendliest staff!
- Parking which was always a challenge is much worse as construction has reduced the number of spaces and they are controlling access to the lot. Beware and forewarned.
Avrielle SuleimanJuly 2, 2011Free yoga and YaLa fitness classes every Saturday morning at 9! They are so much fun! Classes outside are the best!
Njoud FahadNovember 18, 2018It’s still in phase 1 but the place is so lively, good for hangouts , food choices are limited and below average
Haywood TurnipseedApril 22, 2011Capt. White's Delights! Get the shrimp platter; & the tilapia is bangin'.
