Maryland Steamed Crabs

A Baltimore and Blue Crab Favorite…

Maryland Steamed Crabs and Cold Beer certainly go together and there’s no better place to find this great combination than at a “local” South Baltimore crab house such as L. P. Steamers Crab House on Fort Avenue in SOBO’s Locust Point. That’s a fine go-to place when you get the urge for some good-eatin’ seafood from the local waters of the Chesapeake Bay – Blue Crabs in particular. The fun and relaxing atmosphere of a locally owned and managed crab house are filled with an ambiance and friendly spirit that combine to make your crab-picking a pleasure.

However, if you would like to enjoy dining at home – having your own “crab feast” or just a hot bowl of Maryland crab soup – be sure to check out the Recipe Collection – Click HERE.

What else is here about Steamed Crabs in SouthBmore and surroundings?

A Baltimore Crab House is the place to be for that authentic crab-picking experience – not at a chain restaurant “claiming” Maryland Crab…
…but if you cannot get there you do have alternatives…like having crabs and crab cakes delivered to your door. Give it a try – order something today.


NOW SHIPPING STEAMED CRABS. Steamed just for you and shipped in a “cold pack” from The Crab Place in Crisfield, Maryland – the Crab Capital of the World – directly to your door.


Most crab houses are open seven days a week (some are closed on Sundays so call ahead to check) and some (but not all) have crabs all year ’round. They also have a variety of cold beverages and a lot of other seafood and non-seafood choices to fulfill everyone’s appetite. Be sure to visit the page on Picking Crabs and the representative, or sample, Menu Page to see what we get to choose from and enjoy when we “go out for crabs.”
