Captain's Galley Crab Cake Shack

My husband and I were in town for the Oceans Calling Festival and since we were in MD we wanted to find the best crab cakes. The Captain’s Gallery certainly delivered! The crab cakes were delicious-all jumbo lump crab meat with no filler. The hushpuppies were delicious as well-they were perfectly fried, not dry, and the batter was light and well-seasoned. It was a delicious lunch! To top it off the staff was very welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend!

My go to seafood place was sold out of what I wanted, so I decided to try Captain's Galley....I called ahead to confirm that they had lump crab meat, and shrimp - I was told yes, by a very friendly woman. I placed my order for a 1/2 lb of steamed shrimp, light on the seasoning, and 1 lb of lump crab meat (unfrozen). I was greeted upon arrival, which was nice, and the establishment was very clean. I proceeded to pay for my order, and then went on my way. The shrimp was seasoned exactly how I requested, but it was definitely steamed way longer than it should have been. The shrimp were tough, and the shells were extremely hard to get off. The taste just wasn't there either. I made crab cakes with the crab meat, and it was rather tasteless, with very few lumps, in comparison to what I'm used to buying. Maybe it was an off day for them, I'm not sure, but the experience wasn't great.

I am not as eloquent as the other reviewers, but my wife and I really enjoyed the crab cake sandwiches. We have lived in Maryland for over 40 years and these crab cake sandwiches are the best we have ever had.
