Locust Point Steamers
A neighborhood crab house in Locust Point where you can crack steamed crabs with wooden mallets on the rooftop deck for an authentic Maryland experience.
A neighborhood seafood joint in Locust Point, open year-round, featuring a third-floor rooftop deck with harbor views. Steamed crabs are priced individually, ranging from small to extra-large (approx. $5–$14 each), and staff are happy to show beginners how to crack them. The menu also features crab cakes, cream of crab soup, and steamed shrimp.
