| - My first experience in a Maryland style seafood house, and a grand experience it was.
Visited on a Monday Night during Monday Night Football. The special at that time is half off appetizers. We got down on an 8 piece mini crab cake plate and crab dip on baguette. The crab cakes were probably 80% meat, and were delicious. I can't wait to try the large size one. The crab dip on baguette was rich and creamy, quite delicious as well. Again, lots of crab, not a lot of filler.
Next was Maryland Crab Soup and Lobster Bisque. The soup had big chunks of crab with Lima beans, tomato, and half a crab sticking out of the cup. Very tasty, served up hot. I am partial to bisque and have had it many places, but the only one I have had that was better than this I paid $12 for. This was $3 (when bought as an add on to dinner plate). It was thick and creamy, with little bits of lobster floating around in it. Excellent!
Next was the peel and eat shrimp, swimming in lemon and old bay. I wouldn't know, but my girl told me it was about as authentic east coast as you could get. She deftly peeled and ate, while I mangled most those I touched. Food tastes better when you earn it.
Finally, we had three deep fried soft shell crabs. Well seasoned, and very satisfying to eat. As she put it, "You aren't really at the top of the food chain until you eat an animal whole".
Give this place a shot! If you don't like it, walk yourself over to Red Lobster and cry into your cheese biscuit.
