Crab Claw Restaurant on the water in St. Michaels

The westies stayed home due to the heat.
I did tell them fall [and cooler weather]
is right around the corner so be patient.

The Crab Claw is a popular independent-owned
restaurant located in St. Michaels, Maryland.
They have an extensively large amount of seafood
on their menu, and they are known all over
Maryland for their steamed crabs.
The business evolved from a clam-shucking
business established in the 1950s.
In 1965, they added a seafood eatery.

Maine Lobster Night ... $18.95!
The restaurant serves beer, 
including Crab Claw Ale
and relies heavily on Old Bay
seasoning, a local spice blend.

The Crab Claw was featured on Food TV's
Fabulous Summer Fun and in
Paula Deen's May 2010 issue.
It was awarded "Best Maryland Crab Cakes"
by Southern Living Magazine.

Isn't this a lovely photo?
Wilson took his Nikon D800 to dinner
to take some practice shots.


The attack of the duck brigade.
Laura ordered a few crabs so the
waitress prepared the table for pickin.
In case you're new to pickin' crabs
the Crab Claw place mats
provide you with step-by-step directions.
Appetizers for the table.
We alway order more food
then we need ... and walk
away totally stuffed.

Wilson said the lobster was delicious!
It came with a baked potato, salad,
bread and cold slaw.
It was a beautiful night and as
we walked Laura & Cary back to the
Red Rocket for their journey
home across the Miles River
I thought ... we have such a
 relaxed time with L&C we are 
blessed to have them as friends.
...
Thanks for visiting and I hope
you have a lovely weekend.

On Saturday we'll be heading to
Gibson Island for the wedding
& reception of Gail & Terry.

  1. My husband would love this! He would eat seafood for EVERY meal if he could! Unfortunately, I'm allergic to seafood.
