The West Ocean City crab crawl, drawbridge to harbor
Four heavyweights share three miles of mainland: a market that posts its crab price in public, a crab house on the working harbor and two feast rooms on Route 50. How to run them in one afternoon.
Waterman's Seafood Co.
Waterman's has held the corner of Route 50 and Keyser Point Road since 1982. The 10,000-square-foot operation runs two dining floors and two bars. A full seafood market and carryout sits at one end. The all-you-can-eat Original Feast is the calling card. The feast pairs steamed crabs and shrimp with fried chicken, hush puppies and corn on the cob. It runs daily. Crab pricing is not published online. The current price gets quoted at the door or by phone. Third-party listings from recent seasons put it in the high $40s per person. Confirm before you sit. Google users rate it 4.3 stars. Recent reviews praise the friendly service, the clean rooms and the market counter.
