About The Crab Place
Real people. Real Maryland seafood.
We’re a working seafood company in Crisfield, Maryland, the Crab Capital of the World. About twenty of us year-round, and sixty-plus when the summer crab season is in full swing.
Greg and Matt grew up in this business, in the local plants and on the boats. We buy as many crabs as we can right here in Maryland and process every order in Crisfield, and we put 30 years of expertise to work sourcing the best crab in the country when the local catch isn’t the best one. The same people who pick your order know exactly what world-class looks like, and it shows in what shows up at your door.

What we do, every single day
Three things, done better than anyone, because we’ve been doing exactly this since 1996.

Hand-graded by our team in Crisfield, never by machine. We buy local first and use 30 years of expertise to source the best crab available, in any season. No guesswork.
Steamed to Order
Steamed fresh in our own kitchen with a heavy hand on the seasoning, then packed and out the door fast, never sitting around.
