Baltimore, Maryland Crab Feasts

Clueless about the Maryland crustacean? Never fear! In Baltimore, Maryland crab feasts are serious fun and you’ll never be far from a self-proclaimed master of the art of cracking the Chesapeake blue crab. Whether you turn to your server, caterer or the local two seats down, Baltimoreans will walk you through the art of prying crabmeat from its shells. Maryland crabs are at their most bountiful in the summer and early fall, and a traditional feast includes all of the trimmings from corn on the cob to ice-cold beers. Some feasts even feature Maryland fried chicken for non-crabbers. So dig in and don’t worry…they only look like they bite back!

If you're interested in touring the Maryland waterways and learning about the creatures that live in them, the search results list a "Sharks and Schooners and Crabs Tour" itinerary you can follow to power a paddle boat, take a lunch or dinner cruise featuring a Maryland Crab feast and visit the National Aquarium in Baltimore to experience sharks, dolphins, rays, tropical fish and over 10,500 creatures in naturalistic exhibits – including a display of the famous Maryland blue crab!
