Faidley's Seafood
A legendary Lexington Market stall founded in 1886, famous for its hand-formed jumbo lump crab cakes—the ultimate taste of Baltimore.
Founded in 1886 and now in its fourth generation of family ownership, this iconic spot is located next to the Paca Street entrance of the new Lexington Market. It is famous for its hand-formed jumbo lump crab cakes (approx. 6.5 oz each), and also features a raw bar, fresh fish counter, and steamed crabs. Dining is stand-up only, though takeout and shipping are available. Crab cakes start at around $28. Closed on Sundays and shutting down around 17:00, it is best planned for lunch. It is easily accessible on foot from downtown or via light rail to Lexington Market station.
