Crab Stop

My family and I make a yearly trip to OC MD. Every single year ( this is the 4th year in a row) we make it a point to get Crab Stop. Our whole family are seafood lovers and eat seafood regularly. When we booked this year, the first thing my youngest asked was which night we were having Crab Stop. They have the most amazing whole crabs. The workers (and the owner) are so nice and personable. Myself and my kids had whole crabs for the first time from Crab Stop and no matter where else we try them from, they never live up to Crab Stop. The seasoning they use is perfection and we always get the large size of extra seasoning to take home and use when we make seafood! Included are pictures through the years!

Sometimes the best food comes from the most unassuming spots. We got medium L 1 dozen of steamed blue crabs 🦀. The crabs were fresh, heavy, and packed with flavor. If you want an authentic, messy, old-school Maryland crab feast, this is the spot. 10/10 recommend! ❤️‍🔥

We ordered one lobster tail and four pounds of crab legs – all cooked. They give you cocktail sauce in small containers and a nice-sized tub of melted butter. This place also provides raw seafood that you can take home and cook yourself. This is a great family-owned business providing top-quality food! They steamed our crab legs in old bay and it was delicious! And whatever they do to the lobster tail – superb!! Lobster tail is one of my husband’s favorite foods and he was quite impressed. Of all the lobster tails he’s ever eaten from all kinds of places, he said this one was CERTAINLY THE BEST!! At other places, he dips the lobster tail in cocktail sauce, but not this one – it was already so good by itself! Sweet, tender, and seasoned just right – not rubbery, mushy, or tiny. So now, we’re planning to order four lobster tails to take home from our vacation (placing an order tonight!), lol!! This family provides awesome service and awesome food. Definitely a new favorite spot of ours in Ocean City and will return during future vacations!! In the photos, you can see the food as well as our receipt. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a photo before my husband started eating the lobster tail, but it’s definitely a good size with meat from end to end in the shell. Note: The 4 out of 5 for Atmosphere is only because you can't dine in; you must take your food elsewhere to eat it (located in a small strip-mall type area; total of 6 shops), but this place is a great spot - we HIGHLY recommend it!!!
