wantarace17 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Ok so my fiance and i absolutely love crab legs. We went to Joe's crab shack and got there crab daddy fest but it wasn't that good. I have been trying to find a good crab place for the past two week's but with no luck. Anyone have any good ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark The Homer Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Crab legs? Why not just buy them at the store and steam them yourself? I prefer snow crab legs. Safeway has them for $4.99/lb right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark The Homer Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 hmm never done it at home before. Not quite sure how i would go about doing it Buy 2-3 clusters per person. Make sure they're thawed. Put a big pot or a crab pot over the stove. Add half inch of water. Put something on the bottom to keep the legs out of the water. Bring water to boil. Place two-three clusters in pot. Place lid on top. Steam four minutes. Replace hot clusters in pot with cold clusters. Eat hot clusters while pot cooks new clusters another four minutes. Repeat. Etc.

I have been trying to find a good crab place for the past two week's but with no luck. Anyone have any good ideas?If you are by GMU, there is a crab shack right down the road on 29/50-N, just past the Hooters, called Captain Pells:http://www.captainpell.com/ 10195 Fairfax Boulevard Fairfax, VA 22030-2055 (703) 560-0060 University Dr to 29/50. Turn right, proceed about 1/2 mile. Capt Pells is on the right just past the Lincoln-Mercury dealer. EDIT: Capt Pells specializes in Blue Crab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Botched Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 my coworkers just told me about that place. I will probably stop on by. Blue Ridge is a little pricey, and the food isn't that great IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingGibbs Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I have eaten crab legs in many places and honestly they all taste the same (damn good). Crab legs are not cooked like MD crabs. Meaning they are rarely seasoned and they are basically steamed and steamed only. Get some melted butter and dip those bad boys and mmmmm mmmmm good. Just find the cheapest place and go with it.

I used to think that, but lately some places I went to and they were soggy, some were overcooked, and some just real small. There is a small crab shack in PWC called Crosby's that sells them and they will steam them for you. They also will season them like MD style crabs. Those things taste great seasoned up like blue crabs. This place is take out only though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingGibbs Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 By far the best all you can eat seafood deal going anywhere is Fifer's Seafood in Pasadena MD. It's $34.95 per person mon-thurs. The list includes: MD crabs Dungeoness crab legs King crab legs Steamed shrimp Clams Mussels Oysters Scallops Hot wings (damn good to) There is so much more that I can't remember. I know it's over 20 items. They lose money on my son and myself. We destroy the crab legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Occasionally I'll run into those problems, but it's a rarity and even then it happens to be just a few legs here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 You could jump in a time machine and go to a Chesapeake Bay Seafood House. Man I miss that place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipwhich Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 You could jump in a time machine and go to a Chesapeake Bay Seafood House. Man I miss that place. At Chesapeake Bay Seafood house a customer would have needed to eat 32 plates of crab legs for the restaurant to "break even" on the price. A little worthless tidbit for all you guys who think you can out eat the all you can eat money wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
