I was NOT ready for the full seafood operation happening at Captain White's Seafood City. This…read moreplace was PACKED, but they had it moving and were surprisingly efficient. And the seafood is FRESH fresh. I even got a live performance from one of the crabs trying to make an escape. I vaguely remember Captain White's from the old Wharf days, so it was nice finally checking out the newer setup. If I were big on cooking seafood at home, I could definitely see myself stopping here whenever I'm in the area. I picked up shrimp and a whole Dungeness crab. Very expensive, in my opinion, but I wanted to try it. This was actually my first time eating Dungeness crab. It had a LOT of meat, which I appreciated. The flavor was a little different for me--definitely an acquired taste--but it was good. The shrimp was tasty too. I cooked it at home in a light Old Bay butter and THAT was the move. Overall, quite the seafood experience. Come prepared for crowds, plenty of choices...and apparently live entertainment from the crabs.

Captain White Seafood Review - 10/10…read more If fresh seafood is what you're looking for, Captain White is one of my favorite places to shop. I've been there several times, and the quality has always been consistent. It's always busy, which tells me people know they're getting fresh seafood. Even when the parking lot is packed, there's plenty of free parking, so I've never had trouble finding a space. The atmosphere is exactly what you'd expect from a seafood market. You'll smell fresh fish when you walk in, but it's not an unpleasant odor--it's simply the smell of fresh seafood. One of the things I appreciate most is the staff. They've always been friendly, patient, and helpful whenever I've needed assistance or had questions. Over the years, I've purchased crabs , oysters , black bass, whiting, trout, spot, crawfish , and shrimp . Every purchase has been fresh and delicious. Their tartar sauce is also worth picking up if you're planning a seafood dinner. Now, I'm not a crab expert, so I can't compare them to every seafood market around. I can only speak from my own experience, and the crabs I've purchased have always been good. If you're going for crabs, get there early. They sell quickly, especially during the summer months. Another reason I keep coming back is the daily specials. They often have great seasonal deals, making it a perfect time to stock up on fresh seafood. Final Rating: 10/10 Fresh seafood, helpful staff, free parking, and consistently great quality make Captain White a place I'll continue to recommend.

It reminded me very strongly of a bright new HMart. Fresh fruit and veggies galore. I found Noh's seasoning packets there that I have not been able to find in HMart for years, and also identified numerous Asian food items that generally make HMart a go-to grocery store for me. Clean, organized, well-stocked. I'm thinking I may change my shopping habits a little and start checking out these Fresh World stores when I'm near one. This location is a winner.

Great Seafood & fresh meat selections, enough to suit most tastes Prices are in-line with area, like anywhere else you have to shop around. So far my wife has found what she was looking for which beats driving to Annandale. The Food-Court has two (that we tried) that were delicious and reasonably priced.

The manager of the seafood department freezes the dead whole lobster not knowing that the meat can be bad and can cause you to get sick. They leave the dead crabs hoping some unexpected person who is unaware about buying crabs purchase them. They have very bad practices when it comes to food safety.

Finally we were able to catch them on a not so busy day and I couldn't believe it, people were packing this place up and honestly it just turned into a big bar. The ex isn't a healthy eater so bar food and hole in the wall places are his thing. Again, this is your local neighborhood hole in the wall places. Definitely not my type of place but glad I was able to experience it. Would I come back? No, but you should try if dive bars and bar food are your thing. Food was eh!

So I really didn't like that I paid 90/dz for what I thought would be huge and get home and see these tiny crabs. The owners were really nice and even provided me with some newspaper to eat my crab.

My first visit we tried the calamari and two of the ramen dishes. The flavor of the calamari was good but it was just a touch chewy. Both of the ramens were just ok, but I am also super picky about my ramen. Our second visit was because our favorite crab boil place was closed so we came here for a birthday celebration. I was very happy with the freshness and the size of our boil bags. The seafood was cooked perfectly! The flavor was good as well. We also got a large sushi platter which was also prepared nicely. As a bonus, I typically do not like hush puppies but theirs were delicious.

The corn was a bit stale tasting, but other than that, the flavor was good. We hope to visit again soon we can try the sushi side of the menu, because they had so many roll options available.

From the outside, it doesn't scream much - just another unassuming roadside spot - but like any true Southern Maryland crab shack, the magic is all on the inside. This place is gloriously unfussy. No frills, no pretense. Just good food and a communal love of Old Bay. When you walk in, you'll head straight to the order window, where you'll also claim your table. It's usually hopping with locals and regulars, but even when it's packed, the wait for a table isn't bad. The dining setup is pure crab-feast efficiency: cardboard paper tablecloths, buckets for the shells, a roll of paper towels, and of course, the sacred tools of the trade--wooden mallets, crab knives, and an "I dare you not to get messy" vibe. They'll bring you a pitcher of water, and then the feast begins. Crabs come in half-dozens, full dozens, or more if you're rolling deep (and hungry). The sides hit just right: crispy hush puppies, creamy mac 'n cheese, buttery corn on the cob, greens, slaw - you name it. And if crabs aren't your thing (first of all, why not?!), there's fried shrimp, clams, oysters, po' boys, sandwiches, and all the seafood comfort classics. Wash it down with a cold beer or cocktail, and you're golden. The service? Friendly, fast, and no-nonsense in the best way. These folks have the whole crab shack dance down to a science. You're in, you're fed, you're full, and you leave smelling vaguely of the Chesapeake (just as it should be). Bottom line: Grinder's is the real deal. Perfect post-paddle, perfect anytime. Affordable, authentic, and absolutely delicious. If you're in the neighborhood, don't miss it, just bring your appetite and maybe a wet wipe or two.
