I visited this long-time Cecil County landmark on its opening day last Friday and I have to say I…read morewas really disappointed. It's under new management, owned by a restaurant as I understand it, somewhere else in the county. Ordered a dozen No. 1s. They sure seemed on the small side to me, and many were light. Seasoning was not Old Bay nor JO, but instead something with with nutmeg or other out of place herb. Not happy at all. Have to find somewhere else now.

IDK how they keep the seasoning dry on the shell. .chefs kiss. They are prompt and their idea of scale is right on. Reasonably priced, cheapest in the area. I walked in and the line behind me started. They have outdoor seating and table service for delivery of your crabs. Fresh crabs, ample parking, fast service, table service by the water.

Make sure you have a fishing license and DE FIN # which you can get online. Crab 73 is a very nice well-maintained place. Photo-op worthy Live crabs at very reasonable prices. Crabs are heavy and meaty. I ordered a dozen #1 (large) but got 20 or so since some were #2. It was late in the day so they probably were short. I did not mind - I just made sure I got dibs on the large ones. They have an assortment of other shellfish- scallops, mussels, clams and soft shell crabs, sauces, seasonings and utensils. First time I ever got my hands on "whale" soft shell crabs so got all that was left. Debit card with no additional interchange fee.

Got a bushel of #1 they were outstanding no dead one and all real meaty, great job .read more

Finally had the opportunity to stop by Marty's Crabs. And no I did not have crabs unfortunately. I…read morehad a whiting fish sandwich with substitute hush puppies instead of fries because, right, we can get fries anywhere. Don't worry I'll get them next time. My sandwich was good. Fried nicely with no sogginess. The crust was firm but not too thick and went well with the bun. I opted against having lettuce and tomato but those came with it and you had your choice of tarter sauce or cocktail sauce. I didn't realize the brands until I was back at the car to which I could not see, but the cocktail sauce and the hot sauce both tasted good. The service was supreme. I grabbed a menu to go. Their freezer or refrigerator carried their portions as they sell it raw or cooked. The crabs legs looked "healthy" and I certainly wish I wasn't just coming back to my office so I could enjoy them. Another day and time I guess. Oh well I've been eyeing Marty's Crabs for some time now and was not disappointed. There appears to plenty of outdoor table seating and my food was made to order.
