Blu Crabhouse & Raw Bar

Blu is the Taustin family's crab house at 23rd Street bayside. It belongs to the same Ocean City restaurant group behind the Embers. A third generation runs it now, with Cole Taustin as chief executive. The house pairs all-you-can-eat blue crabs with a working raw bar. That combination is unusual on the island. The deck faces west over the bay, so the sunset seating goes first. Posted hours run Wednesday through Saturday evenings. Crabs are quoted at market price rather than printed. Reviewers land at 4.2 on Google across roughly 3,200 reviews. Reviewers rate the atmosphere higher than the food.
