When I first visited Ocean City in the summer of 1974, Phillips Crab House was the go to place for…read moredinner. Now, 50 years later, Phillips is gone and many establishments advertise their Crabs as the best in OC. Having not been here since 2012, I need to scour the reviews to find where we could get the best take out seafood especially Maryland Crabs. Lo and behold, just steps away from our Courtyard Marriott is the Crab Stop. It's before season so many places are still closed but the Owner answered when I called, had a great sense of humor, and happily took my order for a designated pick up time. We arrived 10 minutes early and they had just completed the order, packed it up, and we were out the door in minutes. This is a Father/Son establishment. Dave (?) the Father is 85 and his son Tom (?) run this fine eatery. It's built for take out and there is no disappointment. We ordered 6 large crabs, 1# of Lump Crab and 2 ears of corn. Within minutes our table was covered with crab, crab shells, Old Bay, and we savored every minute of the delicious fresh sweet crab meat. Look no further than Crab Stop to enjoy the best crabs that OC has to offer and the friendliness and service of these two gentlemen.

The line moved at a decent pace but it seemed like only one person was taking orders despite having several people behind the counter. There was ample seating on the inside with the option to sit outside and look at the water. What we got: Banging Shrimp tacos - 4* the banging shrimp was really good but couldn't really shine in the taco. I'd probably have enjoyed it more as a platter. Fish tacos - 4* according to my partner, 3* according to me. While it was really good and things seemed to pair well, there wasn't a lot of flavouring to add pizzazz. Sides tried - Coleslaw - 3* nothing special. - Cucumber and tomatoe salad - 4* the best side of the bunch. - Fries - 3* nothing special. The Jo Bay seasoning on the table enhanced the flavour a lot.

Hubby and I were determined to try our hand at cracking some crabs before we left Maryland. We…read morearrived on a Thursday around 130 pm, and there was no line to order. Helpful counter gal helped us make choices as we are BLUE CRAB VIRGINS! We chose 1 1/2 dozen medium to large crabs for two people. Based on other reviews, I also ordered a single crab cake, corn and hush puppies for the man. I asked her to send someone out to demonstrate how to open the crabs, and she said absolutely! After a short (seemed really long) wait sipping Coke and water with our toes in the sand under the paper covered table, our crabs were steamed and brought out. A cheerful young man showed us how to open the crabs and which parts we wanted to remove and discard. Armed with the provided mallet and pick, we went to work. On first smash, husband sprayed me with crab juice, so I donned a charming and attractive plastic bib for the remainder of the meal. Technique improved with practice, but I found it to be a lot of work for a tiny amount of meat. Very flavorful, and improved by dipping in drawn butter and old bay seasoning, my little pile of crab meat was shoveled into my mouth with a fork as no pieces were very large. I made time to try the crab cake and munch on the corn in between wrestling with the blue crabs. Crab cake was not as much crab as filler, although tasty enough, it wasn't the best I have had. The corn was stellar, not mushy or overcooked. His hush puppies were crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. A generous serving, we took half home for the air fryer. We devoured every last bite of the crab though! A real treat occurred when we were nearly finished with our meal, the owner Rob came out to chat. Fascinated by his slip trip and fall prevention device, we had a long conversation about his inventions and marketing them. He shared his business card and even demonstrated the wet floor verbal indicator. Husband really enjoyed meeting him and talking (engineer to engineer). It made the day!

I thought the produce was pretty expensive relative to other produce markets in the beach areas - but I guess it is more convenient to the beach goers that most. Also, it was not clear to me if any of the produce was local - since the only thing marked local on the signs were the apples. For that reason, I didn't buy produce. I did buy 2 salad dressings that sound delish. And a mustard that we bought friday and have almost finished by Sunday night haha. I will def be back to buy more of that mustard!!
