Restaurant Name: Capt. White Seafood City
Specialty: Maryland Blue Crabs
Location: Washington D.C.
Company: Third Aunt, Fourth Aunt, Aunt, and Father!
Overall Experience: Crab everywhere!



This area in Washington D.C. is inundated with vendors floating magically on concrete structures that support their enormous loads of fish and, most importantly, Maryland blue crabs! We drove around half an hour from Rockville to get to Washington D.C. for these crabs, and boy were they worth the drive! The whole experience was amazing. It's like San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf but on steriods, tons and tons of fish and shrimp along with their fellow friends, these gorgeous crabs, on the stands. There were various vendors, but after careful inspection on the liveliness of the crabs, my father and I decided on Capt. White Seafood City's crabs (pst, I think we made a good choice). You purchase these crabs in BUSHELS. A bushel is a way to measure dry goods and is equivalent to 8 gallons. We ended up purchasing 2.5 gallons, which is the the same as 20 gallons of crabs. The center photo is the guy placing our crabs into the wooden bushels and then placed in line to be steamed. The (directly) bottom pictures show these sleek blue crabs being steamed red!






I guess that this was more of a photo post rather than a writing post. ( :
