Captain Pell's.

Second Annapolis. I didn't like the Bethesda place as much as the places I tried around Annapolis and south Maryland. It's big plus is the proximity.

Have you tried Chasin' Tails where BearRock Cafe used to be (near EFC metro)? Here's the menu:

Captain Pells in fairfax?

Quarterdeck is in Arlington on the hill up above Iwo Jima. It's a bit divey but let's face it, all crab places are picnic tables with butcher paper, cold cheap beer and steamed crabs. You will be sitting outside.

Cantler's in Annapolis

Crabs House in Bethesda maybe?

My husband loves those places where you sit down at a picnic table and they bring you buckets of crabs to pick apart with your hands. I'm hoping to find a good place to take him tomorrow afternoon for father's day. We live in Arlington near Shirlington, and have a baby who will be along for the ride, so hopefully someplace not too far away. Recommendations please!
