    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!

    This outer suburban, roadside business has been there for a while. It's part country market, part…read moreseafood and fishmonger and part restaurant seemingly specializing in carrout. 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.

    I've been a happy customer of both the retail store and the wholesale ops in the back since they…read moreopened. (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!

I ordered large crabs, but they were noticeably smaller and much lighter than what I normally receive from them. I understand that size and weight can sometimes vary, but the quality was definitely not what I've come to expect, especially for what I paid. Before leaving a review, I reached out to the business directly by text to explain my concerns. I even told them I planned to order again and simply asked if they could offer a discount or some type of consideration because of my last order. Unfortunately, I never received a response at all. That was probably the most disappointing part. As a loyal customer, I would have appreciated at least an acknowledgment of my concern. Good customer service isn't just about taking orders, it's also about how you handle a customer when something isn't right. I really enjoyed ordering from this business in the past, but being ignored after bringing up a legitimate concern has definitely changed how I feel about continuing to spend my money here.

And let me tell y'all... it definitely lived up to the hype. This place is an experience all by itself. There are different stations depending on what you're ordering, so at first I was a little confused , but once I figured it out, everything moved pretty smoothly. The staff was patient, answered my questions, and helped me figure out exactly what I wanted. I decided to order three fresh oysters and a half-pound of shrimp with Old Bay seasoning, and I was so excited because I absolutely LOVE seafood. The oysters? 10/10. Fresh, clean, and exactly what I hoped they'd be. Every bite reminded me why I love oysters so much. The shrimp were another highlight. They were a really nice size, perfectly seasoned with Old Bay, and paired perfectly with a little butter and lemon. They were simple, fresh, and packed with flavor. I also got to sit outside with some amazing people while everyone compared what they ordered. We had everything from red snapper and whiting to flounder, fries, sweet potato fries, and macaroni salad on the table. It was fun hearing everyone's opinions while we all rated our meals together. Those are the moments that make food even more enjoyable. If I had one small critique, it would be the fries. They weren't my favorite, but honestly, I came for the seafood, and that's exactly what delivered. My overall rating: 9/10. Fresh seafood, a fun atmosphere, beautiful waterfront views, and great company made this one of my favorite food stops during my trip to Washington, D.C. Thank you, Jessie Taylor Seafood, for an experience I'll definitely remember. I can't wait to come back and try even more of the menu. That's Just How Life Goes... and of course, Just How Food Goes.
