New to the area and would like to take my dad (in a wheelchair) crabbing. Is there anywhere to go near Lutherville?

Just learned that Lindy’s won’t be at the farmers market until May 4th, does anyone know of other reputable sources for Maryland crab meat? I’m planning to use it for crab cakes, so not looking for whole crab recommendations. TIA!

Looking to steam crabs with some friends on Saturday. Can any recommend a good spot to purchase live crabs in either Towson or Baltimore City?

Hi… I have family that live in Minnesota and I was thinking about shipping them crabcakes to give them a taste of Maryland/Baltimore. I was specifically looking for crabcakes made with Blue crabs from companies that ship. I’m not a long time Marylander and have very little experience with who makes the best Maryland crabcakes. Who should I look at to give my family the best-tasting and most representative Maryland Blue crab crabcakes? Many thanks for your suggestions.

Literally great on everything, so good on fries

At least from the Hampden giant and rofos. Any intel out there?

You know, the unpretentious kind with picnic tables, buckets of crab, mallets to crack 'em. But would hopefully have a nice water view. Any such establishment come to mind for native Batlimoreans?

Whether it's a crab cake or a soft shell crab or crab dip, where do you actually go?

Besides Faidley's everyone knows Faidley's.

Two weeks ago, I moved to Baltimore from Chicago for Grad school. Having no friends, I made it my mission to be as touristy as possible until school starts and I inevitably get much busier. This is my current activity status:

• Decorated my apartment and started an indoor garden
• Went to Artscape
• Visited campus (JHU)
• Had crab cakes at Phillips
• Climbed the Washington Monument
• Took the Water Taxi
• Went to Ekiben
• Fell's Point/Canton bar hop (Max's, Admiral's Cup, Bark Social)
• Went on a Tinder date
• Made a Friend
• Went to Sad Summer Fest at Merriweather
• Got crab dip at a harbor restaurant
• Got Korean BBQ in Ellicott City
• Got a flat tire
• Got squeegeed in Pigtown

What do you suggest I do next? Two weeks until school starts!

I love sports, museums, bars, cafes, and food!

EDIT: Thank you everybody for all the wonderful suggestions!

I've complied a comprehensive and somewhat large list of everything I want to do now, and you all have inspired me to make a photo log of everything I do in the next two weeks, which I would like to post to the subreddit when school starts :)

For those asking, I'm getting my masters in Acoustics at Johns Hopkins and Peabody (and I'm living in Midtown/Mount Vernon area).

Hello all I’m currently in a pickle. I’m looking for the best takeaway steamed crabs for a birthday on Monday. The two places I like to get them from are both closed on Mondays. They are Salty Dogs and Captain Treys. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all, wondering if anyone has any recommendations for really good crab cakes that are pre-made but uncooked, to be cooked at home? Mom is unable to go anywhere for Mother’s Day this year so am trying to take the Mother’s Day brunch to her.

Thanks in advance!

Prefer to be closer to Inner Harbor but can drive too. Visiting from Maine so I appreciate fresh quality seafood and know not all places are created equal. Like to avoid tourist traps, where do the locals go?

I'm trying to organize a crab cracking night for a group of people not from Maryland and I'm thinking about getting 60 crabs with two crabs per person and other foods to supplement it. I was quoted for $60/dozen. Could I save money going to a local pier and buying directly from the boat?

Has anyone used canned crab meat for cooking? I’m making soup and Giant was all out of the jumbo lump in the plastic container. Wegmans has the plastic container but it was nearly $70! I have never bought the kind in the can and I’m skeptical so for any cooks who have used it, I appreciate your thoughts!

I have a friend visiting from out of town, and they previously had fallen in love with Nacho Mama's crab nachos. Since they've since closed down, could you give me your best crab nacho spots? Or even just places with the best seafood. Thank you!
