    We've been getting Maryland blue crabs and oysters from Patuxent Seafood for quite a few years. My dad likes to stop by after he's gone out to Broome's Island to go fishing! Even without going fishing, the quality of the blue crabs (hard and soft shell) and the oysters are worth driving out to Broome's Island! Other reasons to make the trip? 1) Great customer service. Captain Jill is always cheerful on the phone when you call to reserve or have questions. In person, she's even nicer and is so informative. Want to learn about crabbing or oysters? She can tell you all about it! 2) Great crabs and oysters! As a Marylander, blue crabs are life! Patuxent Seafood has some of the best crabs available at reasonable prices. We picked up soft shell crabs on the most recent visit. They were soft and sweet. My dad says they are the best he's ever had! Coming from a man that used to own a seafood restaurant, that means quite a bit! 3) The view at Broome's Island is beautiful. Check out the photos I've posted. They go out and get the blue crabs from that view! and if the above aren't enough... 4) Captain Jill and I are birthday twins! July babies rock! :)

    This for true -eating Marylanders! If you know how to and love to cook your own crabs, don't mind a short ride out of the city, another words you know MD CRABS ARE LIFE! Then this is the spot for you! Capt. Jill @patuxentseafood will have the freshes crabs in the area just hours out the water daily. I stood in line with folks with their own docks and crab themselves. Which tells you that Patuxent Seafood is where the crabbers go to get there crabs! @_Unk_RP

    Great customer service. This business is local owned as well. The owner makes you feel like you are at home.

    While we were there Captain Jill showed us around and gave us a lesson on how the crabs molted into soft shelled crabs.

    Crabknockers Seafood Market - J.O. seasoning

    We were visiting family in the area over Labor Day weekend and my brother-in-law told me it was…read moreblue crab season. So of course, I requested it for one of our meals during our visit. We did try to catch them ourselves, but they weren't biting! LOL. Instead of going out to eat at a restaurant, I suggested we do a takeout order to be able to take our time and fully enjoy at home. Years ago, we had the crabs at a restaurant and it took me HOURS to pick them! I think my brother-in-law felt bad (and the rest of the family was getting impatient) and started picking the last few for me, because it was taking soooooo long! He suggested we go to Crab Knockers, a local seafood shop that sells fresh seafood, but that also cooks it for you! Inside, they have old arcade games with a fishing themed decor. They have a case full of seafood with a combo of locally sourced and brought in from other places. The shop was quite busy with a steady flow of patrons. We got 2 dozen blue crabs, steamed with J.O. seasoning (medium spice) and it came out to roughly $60! It took about 20-25 minutes or so. When we got home, we got right to work. My brother-in-law showed me the proper way Marylanders (is that the proper term?) and I think I got the hang of it by the 3rd crab hahaha. Even my oldest managed well! Crabs were delicious! Some claws were a little overcooked, but that's just the nature of seafood and takeout. The body meat was perfect! There is a lot of work for these little guys, but it fed me and my oldest as our only dinner and a few other family members who ate one or two. We even had enough crab meat for two crab cakes for breakfast the next day! I highly suggest checking them out. It's less expensive and less work in terms of cooking (and mess)! I'll definitely ask for crabs again next time we visit! Enjoy and go out and support!

    Easy 5 stars! First time ordering crabs (1/2 bushel females) and ordering over the phone was easy,…read moreemployees friendly and helpful. Crabs were cooked within 20 min of me placing the order, crabs seasoned generously with J.O., and they were cooked perfectly. The crabs weren't wet like some other establishments. Crabs were fat and full of eggs! And if you know me and my family, and majority of Asians, we LOVE our eggs! Wait, what?! Crab meat was sweet, eggs and crab buttah tasty...what more can you ask. There's several seafood markets in St. Mary's county and I'll be putting Crabknockers on the top of my list whenever I need a crab/seafood fix in the future. I will definitely be spending my hard earned cash here in the future. Highly recommended! Check them out, you won't be disappointed. Oh, they sell snakehead fillets, too! YEAH!
