  I just finished eating a half dozen regular male blue crabs from Seafood in the Buff. I'm already looking forward to going back to get more. Don't worry about the price, I mean you have to consider the cost of transporting the crabs to Germantown and having to steam them while you wait.
  
  As soon as I got home with the steamed crabs, I gathered the necessary crab eating utensils- a sharp knife, crackers (the steel kind not the edible kind- you can buy them when you get your crabs). I proceeded to plop my butt in front of the TV with my steamed crabs and coke.
  
  Dang- that was good. I recommend you  buy some crabs and steamed shrimp at Seafood in the Buff.

  Horrible experience! The grabs were so small and smells bad! I called the number on the card and the lady was so rude, she did not let me finished and hang up. Never go there again!

  Buyer beware.  First, you need to know that crabs start rotting the second they die.  As Maryland blue crab eating pros, we never buy cooked crabs.  The way to buy crabs is to watch vendors put LIVE crabs in a pot.  The problem here is that you can select live crabs, but then they take it to the cooking area, which is not entirely visible to the customer, so you don't really know if the live crabs you picked are the same ones you get steamed.  Our last couple of experiences from this vendor were terrible.  The crabs were bad.  I would not recommend buying from this place if you don't want to get sick or waste your money.

  Such bad reviews almost made me not order 1/2 bushel of large crabs for $250. My family was quite satisfied and pleased with the crabs here, which made me feel quite happy, picking this place for our crab feast.
  
  I would give it 5 stars, if the crabs were a little sweeter and when I asked the lady where the crabs are from, she said Canada? Now that's a first.
  
  Out of the 50+ crabs, 3 were the ammonia smell and light as a feather. Maybe 5 were more on the smaller size (not large), but overall I recommend this place for higher quality larger crabs compared to other places like Cameron's, who only sell #1 mix.

  Seems shady, asked for an itemized receipt and each item was taxed already then there was another item that read ten cents as a tax line. After the sub total there was an additional tax price.
  
  Crabs were extremely small and extremely dirty inside. A lot of the meat was really hard. Not impressed.
