    Chicken, Mac and Cheese, and Greens!!!

    First time getting something other than Crabs and Seafood at Today's. I can say the food was pretty Good. The food had a lot of flavor, but it was a little salty. Overall I was impressed with the food and service. The Best thing is they accept EBT cards too!!!

    Fungus or worts on 1//2dozen of my crabs we threw them away

    I always come here and I refer my family here but today I bought 2 dozen female and Male crabs and 3lbs of snow legs.. I was ver disappointed once I got home cause I had to throw away about half a dozen crabs because they had some sort of Worts or hard fungus growing out of it! Ewww in all my 30 years of eating crabs I never seen this suit before I was completely grossed out!! So I moved on to the Snow Leggs and they were over cooked and too Salty smh !! I just threw them away !! Honestly this was the first time I had this problem at Today's in Oxon hill but I definitely was turned off !! And lost my appetite

    Raise your hand if you go to Maryland and not eat crabs or crabcakes. I'd you raised your hand you have no idea what you are missing. It's a must. So, as I headed back to NY after the weekend I was in search of getting my hands on some blue crabs. I exited off the highway and asked some locals if they knew where i could get my hands on some crabs. They pointed me in the direction of Todays Seafood and told me I was getting good crabs with the best price. The price of crabs are out the roof. When we arrived we ordered male jumbo crabs, 1/4 lb. Crab cake with a side of wedges and fried shrimp. For those who are unaware, the male crabs are bigger and meatier than the female crabs. Thank goodness we arrived when we did because we were able to snatch the last of the jumbo crabs. After eating the crabs, I must say this was the best stop I could have taken. They were seasoned properly, and not overly salted or cooked like some restaurants. I ordered my crab cake broiled, not fried and that was one hell of a crab cake. There were lots of chunky pieces of crab meat and it was broiled to perfection, not overcooked and rubbery. The fried shrimp were crunchy and the batter stayed firm without falling off. The potato wedges were designed for a giant. They were the longest and thickest wedges I've ever had. Please don't allow your brain to go to the gutter with that comment. The wedges were also seasoned and taste great. There were other items for sale such as fish to order or cook. I also noticed we arrived at the right time because the line started to go through the door. Be mindful that the crabs have to be freshly cooked so there is a wait time. I highly recommend checking this place out for your seafood cravings. You better move fast because next time I'm in town, I'll be buying out the jumbo crabs again!

    When in MD I always seek blue crabs. I sit back, get a dozen and methodically go through them. On this Sunday afternoon I found this random seafood "shack" and stopped by. This establishment sells both fresh and prepared seafood. They are bare on the minimums. A half dozen tables, fish case and counter to order at is about all there is. I ordered a dozen crabs (you have choices, male / female / mixed - the male crabs were going for about $50 for a dozen while the smaller female were going for about $46 but I am sure the prices vary depending on the market. The crabs were what I expect of MD blue crabs - steamed, placed in a paper bag and covered with Old Bay. Enough to satisfy a craving and that was good enough!

The servers were very helpful and attentive, and responsive to requests for additional items. I would definitely return again for a meal before a play at Arena stage or otherwise.

This past weekend, I finally returned for dinner with a couple of friends after a show at Arena Stage. The restaurant is still stunning. We sat outside to enjoy the Wharf/water views and the summer weather. The food was still great, too. We shared lots of dishes: a half dozen oysters; tempura fried squash blossoms filled with Maryland crab and cream cheese; an heirloom tomato salad with feta and fried shallots; Massaman curry with fragrant herbs, housemade roti, and the fish of the day; a beautiful halibut dish; and a candied Virginia peanut tiramisu. Everything was tasty, but the entrees really blew my mind - beautiful and delicious. We also each had a glass or two of wine, and they have a great wine list. The service was very friendly, but at some point during our early dinner (our reservation was for 5pm), they got busy and our server disappeared a bit as he got busier. Still, it was a lovely dinner overall - exactly the kind of place you want to be on a warm summer day! If you love seafood and summer vibes, Fish Shop should definitely be on your list.

Of course, the very moment the fireworks were to go off a pouring rain began. Grr. Our aim at Vola's was to get some drinks and dessert sitting outside. We put our name on the waiting list and were seated about 40 minutes later in the section on King St. Service was very good. My friends were drinking hard seltzers and margaritas. I opted for Vola's hot coffee, which just didn't taste very good, even when camouflaged with cream. For dessert, we ordered the chocolate fudge cake, vanilla bean trifle and Audrey's key lime pie. The chocolate fudge cake was very rich and very tasty. But even I, as a chocolate lover, would have preferred that the cake had come with some vanilla ice cream to balance things out. The key lime pie with Chantilly cream was good with a sharp lime flavor. I ordered the Vanilla Bean Trifle. This dessert came with a blackberry compote, Chantilly cream, whipped cream and a crispy thin butterscotch tuile wafer. The flavors in the trifle were great, but because the dessert was served at nearly room temperature, it wasn't very appealing. To be best enjoyed, this dessert should have been chilled.

Unfortunately, my wife's first experience was the exception. On our last visit together, the service simply didn't deliver and we ended up leaving. After the manager reached out and encouraged us to give Joe's another chance, I convinced my wife to come back. I'm really glad we did. This time we brought our toddler and ordered the oysters, stone crab, king crab, and bone-in ribeye. Everything was excellent. More importantly, the service was back to the Joe's I've known for years. Our server Kimberly was wonderful, attentive, warm, and took great care of us. Ryan the manager also stopped by personally to apologize and make sure we were having a good experience. What made this visit especially satisfying was seeing my wife finally experience the level of hospitality I had been telling her about all these years. She walked away impressed, and so did I. Great seafood, a proper ribeye, and excellent hospitality. Thank you to Kimberly and the management team for turning things around. Looking forward to many more visits. Keep it up, guys!

It's like they didn't even clean them before applying the batter! I've been here on a date so I know how the lighting is dim... perfect setting to hide the wilted brown lettuce and moldy food...

    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.
