KVG_DC Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Is it on 301? I think I saw a crab place driving home from work one day when I lived in Bowie. I wonder where he is. I haven't seen him on here all season. That sounds in the neighborhood. I recall it being literally out off a smaller road though with nothing around it much. This was years ago though. It was a non-descript wood building. The indoor seating was smallish but there was a covered outdoor seating area with standard wooden picnic tables. They'd tear off a roll of butcher paper to cover it and just start bringing you buckets of crabs. I'll look around on the web in a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xandandl Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Dear Beating Heart Skip, I apologize for hijacking your thread to crab shacks unlimited. It's supper time when I began reading the thread, and I admit to being a crustacean addict. Crabs anytime for me. I don't even need those little wooden hammers I stole, I mean borrowed, from those nice Front Ensemble folks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KVG_DC Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I'm fairly certain it was this…although I seem to remember it being less brightly colored inside and smaller with a wooden roof on pillars for the outdoor seating. That was years ago though, so I imagine they've remodeled and repainted at some point. http://www.fatboyscrabshack.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KVG_DC Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Not entirely sure to be honest. I wasn't driving when we went and only vaguely paying attention. I do remember actually saying "What the hell is this place doing out here?" when we arrived. I don't see anything on their menu about straight up buckets'o'crabs, but that may be something they run in season. But seriously, if you have connections to someone who runs a crabbing boat, just work those connections and buy a bunch of beer for them and have a big cookout.

KVG_DC Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 It's pretty hard to mess up steaming crabs. Just be prepared for the noise. http://www.chow.com/recipes/30377-basic-steamed-blue-crabs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
