Maryland crab season has arrived and we’re marking the occasion across our menus, showcasing one of Chesapeake Bay’s most celebrated ingredients.
Our Maryland crab crumpet offers a bite-sized taste of the season. At brunch, don’t miss the crab tortilla, while lunch calls for a bowl of our rich, fragrant she-crab soup. For dinner, start with our crab tempura fried squash blossoms, or opt for our Chef’s Menu to try our conchiglie crab and tomato fondue.

About our crabs
We use Maryland blue crabs, sourced during their peak season from the Chesapeake Bay region.
Blue crabs are a celebrated native species, prized for their sweet flavour and tender meat. Rather than boiling, we steam our crabs to retain their natural flavour and texture.
By following the natural seasonality of Maryland crab, we’re able create flavourful and fresh dishes, aligned with our commitment to responsible sourcing.
Feasting on the patio
We host our crab feasts on the patio but our patio is always open when the weather permits.
Whether you’re joining us for crab tortillas for lunch, crab pasta in our Chef’s Menu over a sunset dinner or a quick weekday lunch with one of our many crab specials, opt to sit on the patio with views of the Potomac for the ultimate Fish Shop experience.
We have monthly events on our patio – check out what’s on for more info – and there’s always entertainment happening down on The Wharf during the summer. If you’re watching one of their sunset movies or attending a concert, drop in for an alfresco cocktail or something to eat first.
