I was so excited to revisit S. DiPaula Seafood after a 2 year absence. I was also pleased to learn…read morethat they sell genuine Maryland crabs. So I called one day recently and ordered a dozen steamed medium males for $39, along with some corn. It should be noted that I don't remember the place being such a dump. It really looks decrepit; I wonder how they even pass inspection? Anyway, I was looking back fondly on my past experience, and just ignored that detail... The staff was very nice, and my order was ready on time as promised. The bag of crabs (and corn) seemed heavy enough. But when I got home and dug into them, I was disappointed! Here are my takeaways. - At least half of the crabs were light as a feather, with mostly water and little meat, so I guess those crabs had recently molted. - Only a few crabs had both of their mature claws. The rest had either one normal and one small claw, or one claw was missing entirely. That's a sign of poor handling and/or poor selection. - There was so little meat that they seemed to be smalls rather than mediums. Only four of the twelve were actually heavy and what I would consider to be medium crabs. - Many claws when cracked squirted out water, and the meat was miniscule relative to the shell size. This is August, so I was expecting much heavier crabs. I wish Maryland would require watermen to *weigh* their crabs as well as *measure* them from point to point. Throw back the lightweight ones in order to let them fatten up. So all in all, not a great experience. I won't be going back. (The corn was good, though.)

We went with the lake trout as she said the bass would be too smelly. The cut the trout up just as we needed it so no head, tails, scales or guts. Just fish, spine & skin. All the fish looked fresh. Pretty good variety too. Definitely worth the visit.

I moved to Ohio in 2019 haven't been able to find decent fish since I've been here. I hear that Lexington Market has been renovated and that Cho's has not opened yet. Can't wait until they return. I pray I will be able to order fish from Cho's when they open to have it shipped to me here in Ohio. Did I mention the professionalism and friendliness of the staff. They definitely aim to please! Hurry back Cho's because you are definitely missed! CF

While visiting Baltimore, we were on the hunt for some good crabs. After seeing Kahler's Crab House…read moreall over TikTok, we decided to give it a try. From the outside, it looks like a small shack--or more like a house--and the inside carries that same no-frills, classic crab house vibe. Simple tables, open space--exactly what you expect from a traditional spot. It was completely empty when we arrived just after 12 PM, but honestly, that worked in our favor because we were starving. We started with a few appetizers:    *   The cream of crab soup wasn't what I expected, especially for Baltimore, where I've had much better.    *   The crab deviled eggs were underwhelming--very little crab and mostly tasted like regular deviled eggs.    *   The honey Old Bay wings were actually really good.    *   The hush puppies were just okay. Now, the main event--the crabs. We ordered a dozen medium males, and they did not disappoint. They were flavorful, meaty, and exactly what we came for. I did get one bad crab, but our server handled it immediately and replaced it with a fresh, hot one. She also stayed on top of our drinks the entire time, which I appreciated. A few things to note: they don't serve alcohol, but it's BYOB (wine only). Coolers are allowed, and they'll provide ice, which is a nice touch. Overall, I'd definitely come back--but strictly for the crabs. Next time, I'm saving my appetite (and my wallet) for the main attraction.

I do recommend reserving your crabs before going as it's a very popular spot and they sell out fast. The crabs are the sized as advertised. I get the xl or jumbos. Call around 10-11am to make your reservation. Absolutely love Kahler's. I drive over a hr just to get my seafood from here, no matter the season. It's packed even during the winter season. They don't have a bar but they do allow you to bring small coolers with non opened wine, champagne, and beer. No liquor tho.

There is a table outside that you could sit at. With my double broiled crab platter, I also had potato salad. It could have used a hit of old bay or paprika to set it off. The crab cakes were ok. No filler, but not enough seasonings. You really do get a nice lump of a crab cake, but I would have preferred it to be more moist. I did get a side of tarter and cocktail sauce. The tartar sauce is homemade I think. I would have enjoyed it with more pickle juice and pickle and again a hit of paprika or old bay would really set it off. I recommend if you're not craving highly seasoned food, but tasty and well prepared.

Instagram inspired trip…read more We ordered the catfish sandwich, salmon salad, and chicken nachos Catfish- 1/10 thin and flat. Sandwich was bland. Good catfish doesn't even need Tatar sauce and hot sauce to be honest. It should be seasoned and hot. This wasn't it. Chicken Nachos- 8.5 very flavorful, chicken was cooked perfect, pico, sour cream, cheese. My daughter told me to stay out her plate! Salmon Salad 10/10 again my other daughter had to remove me from her plate. Salmon was delicious. Caesar salad was fresh and good. Restaurant is in a co-op of other restaurants together, different for us but most were closed so we didn't get to try all spots. We would not come back on purpose but if you are in the area try them. Just remember fresh fish have clear eyes.
