Maybe you have relatives visiting from out of town, or you are on holiday – and you want to splurge a little. Our dining experience today includes steamed crab – you really should try this Charm City must-have. Let’s delve into this Baltimore locale, one where people travel across Maryland just to eat at this hidden gem restaurant.
You may have heard of Captain James Landing Seafood Restaurant. You almost can’t miss it, in the shape of a sailing vessel. You might not realize, however, that there is a sister establishment – this hidden gem is called Captain James Crab House.
When you become a fan of the crab house, and we are pretty sure you will, you may want to get yourself a crab house tee to flaunt your new obsession in front of the in-crowd.
Or maybe you'd like a crab mallet, similar to one you will use to crack the shells during your meal. Deposit empty (crab) shells in the bucket on your table.
As the sun sets over the water, it is a decidedly delicious day with friends, and a crab dinner.
When the outdoor dining season ends, head to the other Captain James, the restaurant on Boston Street. It has indoor seating and a slightly larger menu - until we can dine outdoors again, dear crab house.
The crab house generally opens in April and closes for the season before the end of October.
My family and I are people who travel across Maryland just to eat at this hidden gem restaurant. You will see my husband featured here, his debut, from our last trip to the crab house. Visit the Captain James website to see the crab house menu, which appears after the other menus.
