Everything in this place is the real deal. Fresh caught and made to very high taste standards. Of course the crab cakes are just heavenly, but the cod cakes are also great and cheaper. Sam the owner is quite a pleasant person. You can eat on the porch outside-one table. Please tip whoever serves you in a jar inside. There's plenty of parking and just across the parking lot is a bar with a pool table and bathroom. Buy a coke and you can use the bathroom. If you want seafood that's great, without waiting for a table, you have found the right place at HARRY's-done! read more

The best thing about my meal: The onion rings were done perfectly. Crisp and tasty. I was greeted immediately when I entered. There is a counter to order but no inside eating option. There is a table outside that you could sit at. With my double broiled crab platter, I also had potato salad. It could have used a hit of old bay or paprika to set it off. The crab cakes were ok. No filler, but not enough seasonings. You really do get a nice lump of a crab cake, but I would have preferred it to be more moist. I did get a side of tarter and cocktail sauce. The tartar sauce is homemade I think. I would have enjoyed it with more pickle juice and pickle and again a hit of paprika or old bay would really set it off. I recommend if you're not craving highly seasoned food, but tasty and well prepared. read more

A family friend told us about this spot. We only got to try them once but the crabs were awesome! They had a special where we got like a bushel for $99. We couldn't even eat all the crabs. The service was top tier and they carried them to the car for us too! Can't wait until they open next season! read more

We decided to try a new place and so glad we did! Every crab was full and amazing! The seasoning is the best we have had and we have had our fair share of crabs. Haha! Captain Harry's customer service is also top notch! Can't wait for next time! read more

Captain Harry's Seafood - We decided to try a new place and weren't disappointed! Our new go to! - Seafood Markets Near Me - Nottingham, Maryland

I've been going to Captain Harry since back in the 90s and never had a bad experience as a matter of fact it is too notch. About a year and a half ago some young people bought the place and they've even upgraded. It's a very nice place ! Happy especially that they always have soft crabs. You can't find nicer people than Sam, Kate and Harrison. And Harry still catches the crabs so this is a win-win for everyone. read more

Switched to Captain Harry's as my go to for shrimp and crabs this summer. No need to look back, they bring the best quality seafood with unmatched customer service. read more

We wanted a super-convenient dinner for a relaxed Friday night. I had the crab cake sandwich, which, as a Baltimorean, I ordered with some trepidation. If you are a native, you know why. The hubster had the fried oysters with onion rings and the shrimp pasta salad as sides. All in all, not bad for the convenience. I hope that the community rallies around these owners and drive profits so that they can offer a true Baltimore-sized, 8oz., jumbo-lump crabcake. Sure, we'd pay more, but it would be worth it to have the luxury 5 minutes away. When we returned home, I added a dash of Old Bay to my cake to remind myself that I was still in Baltimore. The onion rings were yummy, and Hubby says the oysters were good but could have been larger. We would recommend this spot because the food is tasty, well prepared, reasonably priced, and because it is important to support small business. Why should the big guys have all the fun? read more

The crabs were heavy and delicious. Well worth the drive. Loved the spices they use on the crabs. Called and they had the crabs ready by the time we got there. Will definitely go back. read more

We were visiting friends who recently moved to Maryland for some housewarming and we insisted that they get down and dirty with some crabs (not those crabs, guys) as they were now MD residents. Yelp led us to Captain Harry's as the closest location, although after having gorged ourselves on their crustaceans, we would have definitely traveled further to get our hands (and mouths) on those babies. We placed an order for 2 dozen steamed female crabs (mixed sizes) as the females were significantly cheaper than the males, at $35 for 2 dozen. We were a little nervous ordering females, being from South Jersey near the shore, and in our experiences the females can run small and short on meat. This was absolutely not the case with our order from Captain Harry's. The females were surprisingly and over-satisfyingly meaty and filling. We actually were all discussing how much bigger the males could possibly be and that we didn't think we could even finish 2 dozen males (and we were 2 women and 2 men in our 20s and 30s.) They were seasoned just right and we were all licking our fingers between breaking open crabs just to savor the spices. We're driving back up to our home in Philadelphia as I write this review and we're still talking about the crabs! I had to write a review for Capt. Harry's as we were raving in the car about it and I have to say we all absolutely recommend treating yourselves or your guests (or us) to some crabs from this little local shack. You won't regret it. read more

These were the sweetest crabs I have had in years. We got the Jumbos $100 a dozen, not the biggest but were full. Great crabs for the middle of May. read more

Outstanding crabs and friendly people. We had gone there for years. Then we moved to Florida for awhile. But we're back and the first place we thing about for crabs is Captain Harry's. The best customer service around especially Kris. Can't wait to go back! read more

I ordered 6 dozen of crabs last weekend, 4/dz Medium and 2/dz large for a get together. The mediums were smalls at best and larges were watery. Will not be doing business with them again. I was extremely disappointed as they were one of the more expensive prices around. $55/dz for mediums and $75/dz larges. So after spending over $350 and looking forward to quality crabs since the price was higher than other places. They say "you get what you pay for" I guess this time that doesn't apply. Be weary of this place. read more

Gave this small crab house a try and i'm glad I did. Very reasonable prices for very good quality crabs. Will be returning.

this place. I can call in an order & it's ready to be picked up at the time specified. Crabs & corn are what I usually order & I tell you it's always delicious. read more

Tried Captain Harry's for the first time yesterday, splurged on Extra Large males for $90 a dozen. Size-wise they were big however most of them were light and a couple just flat out had almost nothing in them. Why would you even sell crabs like that and for $90 a dozen? First time trying it and last time going there. read more

Been a long time customer over the years. Sorry to say the last couple years have been disappointing. Ordered a dozen mediums last week at $55/dozen. They were the smallest mediums we ever saw. I had to measure just to be sure they were legal.( they are). We still love their seasoning & taste, however, the crabs keep getting smaller compared to others in the area. Kind of forcing us to go elsewhere as prices go up & size gets smaller. read more

Recently I asked a number of people for a recommendation for crabs for my husband's birthday. Someone told me to try Harry's and that I wouldn't be disappointed. Today we ordered 4 dozen small males and they were the most incredible crabs. 6 of us shared the crabs. They were extremely full, heavy, NO water. SUPER awesome seasoning that was equally distributed. The price was incredible. We are already making plans to purchase more. Wow...what a great surprise and a great find! LOVE this place and super nice people. read more

I was there with my family earlier last year. We originally were going to get crabs at Madonna Seafood but all they had were smalls. We took a chance at a friends recommendation and tried Captain Harry's. Boy am I glad we did. Some of the best if not THE BEST crabs I've ever had. We all agreed on that. read more

Just had crabs here.... Amazing! Best I have had this year!! I paid for 1 doz med males and 1 doz med females. (first time I really tried females before) However they gave me larges for both the males and the females, because they simply had more of the larges then they did the medium! I also got about 18 of each rather then 12, it was awesome! I made sure to asked if they "pre-steam" which allot of places do and then re-steam when you come to pick up, which makes your crabs either really wet or hard to pick and mushy. This place doesn't! The crabs were heavy and cooked perfectly right on the spot. The staff was friendly and the place was clean! I haven't been happier with a crab place! Also I had the corn on the cob which again I asked for 4 ears and got 6 and it was great! If your getting crabs anytime soon try this place out (and don't be afraid of the females they are pretty much the same as the males except for the apron and the color of the guts) read more
