Crabbing & Clamming · Ocean City, Maryland

Where can I buy crabs if I do not catch them?

Answer

Seafood markets, docks, and restaurants in Ocean City and West Ocean City sell live or steamed blue crabs in season. Ask about sizing and how many people a dozen typically feeds. Keep purchased live crabs cool and cook them the same day.
