baltoellen

I've had crabs from Hale's once....and, was not at all impressed, and didn't feel the need to give them a second shot. I generally get crabs in Baltimore from Chris's in Canton. Someone just wrote up a glowing review of Franks Seafood, in Elkridge...and their prices seemed really great. FWIW, they will be the next that I check out.

I just wanted to thanks Crackers for organizing this outing; unfortunately, we were just able to join in for the first leg of the "crawl." Mr. Baltoellen and I both thought the crabs at Harris's were very, very good, however, we did miss the "steam," and believe it is ALWAYS worth the wait to have your crabs cooked to order. We were also sort of amazed at the incredible lack of MD crabs this season, despite the fact that we keep reading articles about what a great crab year this is supposed to be....(the crabs @ Harris's were from DE--gasp--). I agree with the other posts that the MD crab soup was an incredible disappointment. In fact, I would say that it was among the least inspired crab soup that I've ever had. This outing made me realize that the summer's quickly coming to a close, and I'd better head to Waterman's ASAP.... Well, Crackers, thanks again.....and great meeting everyone.
