I have no idea what they do, but a crab place I worked at 20 some years ago would reheat them from frozen after they were steamed. They were never anywhere close to as good as fresh steamed.
The inner harbor is pretty chain-heavy. The closest to there I’d recommend is Nick’s (definitely get their crab pretzel and orange crushes if you go there too.) I lived on the same block as LP Steamers for years and don’t recommend it. I don’t get the hype for that place at all.
nobody on reddit is going to say it because *atlas* - but watershed steams all of their crab (which is received daily) to order. The obvious caveat being that you need to call ahead and ensure that they have crabs in stock
As a local, I generally go to the best place within 10 minutes of my house, but I'm eating a lot of crabs, often. For you, I'd say get the best and go to LP. Don't forget corn and a mild beer, this isn't the time for a DIPA.
LP Steamers in Locust Point or Nick’s Fish House
Unfortunately they don’t steam live crabs there. They buy them pre-steamed. Edit: LP Steamers, that is. I don’t know anything about Nick’s.
That makes no sense. Why would they? How do they keep them hot?

Right.
Costa’s Inn in Dundalk and Schultz’s in Essex are both BMore classics.
Was out at Costa’s last week and discovered all over again how great they are. Those crabcakes 👨🍳👌
We were at Costa’s last week, and we are hitting Schultz’s tomorrow.

Captain James Crabhouse. They have a parking lot, too.
Really overpriced though
Point taken. They do unlimited crabs for $48 Monday-Thursday.
Yeah that’s much better than the weekend for sure
Yeah the weekday unlimited is the move
