    This was my first visit to J & T but it definitely will not be my last. I searched for steamed crabs on Yelp and knew I needed to try J&T based on the multiple 4 and 5 star reviews. Service was friendly and I always appreciate when given the option to order crabs over the phone versus in store only. Once home we immediately started our picking party and the crabs did not disappoint. The large crabs were deliciously sweet filled with lump meat and definitely the star of dinner. The mediums were good and priced nicely. The crawfish and shrimp were pre-steamed and packaged chilled. The crawfish was the meatiest crawfish I had in years. I can't wait to return!

    No lumps to be found.

    I'm leaving 3 stars because this business does. Bring crabs to the mountains. I ordered 1/2 bushel mixed large and medium crabs. The average is 3 1/2 dozen crabs. I paid $150.00 for these and received 1 crabs less than 3 dozen. That made it hard to distribute to the other people that chipped in. When I called to inquire, I was told it's "give or take" on the number of crabs, with someone in the background yelling the same. And then hung up on. I also purchased 1lb of "lump" crabmeat. Attached is a photo of the crabmeat I bought. If you can find a single lump, I'll give you the $30 it cost me.

    The service here was really fast and amazing. The size, price and flavor of the crabs were good. The quality of the seafood made a huge difference. I would highly recommend grabbing your next bushel from here

    I heard about J & T from neighbors and decided to try. Put in a phone order a week prior to the day of pick up. Earliest I could pick up was 10am which was agreed upon. I get there few minutes after 10 and when they check on the order, they say, sorry it's not ready, it's gonna be another 30 min. I was not familiar with the area and it didn't seem like anything commercial was nearby so we waited in the car for the 30 minutes. I finally got the steamed crabs I ordered and left the place at 10:40. The crabs themselves were meaty, for the 1/2 bushel it was mostly mediums, with a few smalls. The family enjoyed working the crabs and my 7 year old had a fantastic time cracking crabs for the first time. I was glad I had the patience to wait around but wondered if this was a typical occurrence at J & T. The 1/2 bushel was $145 which seem to be the going rate at other places.

    The aftermath!

(Anyone want to know how to cold smoke 24 filleted salmon in a cardboard refrigerator box? Let me know!). I needed to find some Chesapeake Channa to make updated Baltimore Coddies for a tasting event. (IYKYK, hon). The Trouts were able to special order the fish for me - not easy to do because CCs are a by-product catch so not always available. Outstanding service! If you can get them you really, really should. Chesapeake Channa are an invasive species that are wreaking havoc in the Bay. The good news: they are incredibly tasty, with a firm, flakey flesh that's suitable for pan frying, roasting, poaching (and sous viding, my technique of choice for this event). Everybody raved about how great the fish was - even after I told them that Chesapeake Channa is more commonly known as "Snakehead". (Hey, it worked for Chilean Sea Bass, which used to be known as "Patagonian Toothfish"). So, thank you to Lighthouse for helping me introduce an old Baltimore dish to a new audience, and help save the Chesapeake Bay at the same time. Score!

On our first visit on a winter Wednesday, we were impressed with everything we saw. Being a self-professed seafood snob with extensive periods of my life living ( and eating) in coastal areas, we bought some fresh fish ("blue catfish" to be specific). We help the Chesapeake Bay by eating this endangered species. We also bought some homemade compound butter - they have several seasoning blends. The verdict was that the freshness was outstanding and the trimming (no bones or other waste) was perfect. And with fish, freshness is everything. The price was fair too for the area and the service was personable and helpful. (Note that the inner lining paper of the wrapper stuck to the skin too much - they should change that but I'm not deducting a star - the fish itself was that great). On return trips, we'll check the other faire (shellfish, prepared-on-premises seafood, dine-in options). For now, we are quite happy and the Lighthouse deserves more business.

So it only leaves Jessie Taylor's standing. The soups were good but I would've loved much more crab in my New England chowder. My partner got a corn on the cob and shrimp and the clam chowder.

Any Marylander of the Boomer and GenX generation knows about O'Donnell's RUM BUNS. I used to come here with family back in its heyday and these were served table side before our meal. How crazy is that, a nice lil somewhat sinful dessert BEFORE some MD crab?! Those were the days! The rum buns are more nostalgia more than anything, I wouldn't say they'll blow your socks off, but hey, nostalgia is nostalgia. Well, I'll need to dine in here for a full and complete verdict, but my quick grab and go visit was a tad chaotic. Service for taking orders could improve - you walk in, there's a seafood counter to your left, bakery counter to your right (both were unmanned when I walked in) and in the middle is a deli section with the cash register where I assume they take orders. We stood there for a few good minutes before getting anyone's attention despite the fact a manager asking staff (not customers) if everyone was being helped. Clearly staff did not know who was waiting to check out, take orders or just waiting for their orders to arrive. So it was just weird. No one greeting you as you walk in either, it just also weird because there's no clear line anywhere you stand. Otherwise, rum buns were as I remembered them. Also picked up crab dip and chicken salad from the grab and go section from the back and they were just ok, not bad, not great. So will come again for a future visit hoping to have a much better meal and experience!
