Ocean City Soft-Shell Crabs · Ocean City, Maryland

Buying soft-shells at West Ocean City seafood markets?

Dockside markets sell live peelers to cook tonight—bring a cooler and plan within hours. Ask whether crabs are shedding on-site or pre-cleaned. Phone ahead on weekends when restaurant buyers clear inventory.
