Best CrabsOcean CityWho has heavy crabs and what a dozen costs today
Waterman's is the oceanfront's crab cake standard. The Standing family built it in 1981 as Fogg's Seafood Company at 5th Street and Atlantic Avenue. It has stayed in the family since. The name changed to Waterman's Beachwood Grill in 1996. A major renovation in 2007 brought the current name. There are no steamed crabs. The dinner menu marks the local lump crab cakes as the house favorite at $32.99. An $11 she-crab soup is billed as the signature bisque. A crab cake sandwich runs $19.99 and a Virginia crab imperial $30.99. It holds 4.5 across roughly 13,200 Google reviews, the most-reviewed crab stop in the city by a wide margin.
Two doors on the Lynnhaven Inlet waterfront and one oceanfront standby cover the rest of the city's crab business, from market-counter steamed blues to a $32.99 lump crab cake.
