The Crab Claw

All food was good but Crap Dip it’s a must!! Loved the Crap Cake and hush puppies. The place is not beautiful but has an old school-small town charm. I can live with the level of the service.

We ordered hard crabs. The biggest they had were large. All were almost entirely devoid of crabmeat. No backfin lump. Just a few shreds of crabmeat. I complained to the waitress and showed her an empty shell. She took it to the manager and they gave us half off. What we got wasn’t even worth that. The picture shows the backfin area just after opening it. Empty!

Awesome atmosphere right on the water in St Michael’s but unfortunately that’s where it ends. It is very expensive for the frozen food that is prepared. Burger was tiny so wouldn’t recommend that and the salmon was very small and didn’t have a good taste. The fried crab ball was pretty good but again not worth the $30.

While visiting St. Michael's you have to experience seaside dining at the Crab Claw restaurant. It's an experience to see all the beautiful yachts and boats come and go. A family of ducks paddle by and of course there are blue fin 🦀 crabs. You can order a single one or by the dozen.

We sat right on the water outside and watched the boats coming in and out. We happened to be there at the same time as the entire Terps coaching staff so that was cool. They had some pretty boats! The crab dip was really good and came in a yummy sourdough bread bowl. Most patrons were there for the crabs, tables were all dressed in crab paper and the bucket of hammers and paper towels were atop. Drinks were good. Atmosphere was fun!
