Where to get great crabs?

Coming to Chincoteague in may from Uk.

Where will we find the best %26#39;Crab feasts'; I remember so well from my time there in the 1990s?

Can be in the surrounding area??

There%26#39;s an all you can eat crab place on Maddox Blvd near the Island Creamery that isn%26#39;t bad. Probably the best choice other than steaming your own.

Steamers on Maddox is all you can eat on the Island.

Wrights Seafood out in Wattsville is a popular local favorite -- a bit of a drive -- but good -- they have crabs, fried chicken, rib combos with corn, etc -- paper on tables in the crab galley.

There are two or three places on the island where you can call up and order as many as you want pre-steamed. If you have a picnic table or kitchen at your rental, just pick them up and have an all night feast at your own place.

A lot of the local restaurants have crabs on the menu in various forms -- but those are your options for cracking your own!

i am staying at the Waterside Inn which has grills and picnic tables. I wonder whether they will mind us taking our pre steamed crabs back there?

Thank you for this reply.

We%26#39;re driving down from New York via Atlantic City. Has any one got any good recommendations for places to visit and good cheap eats/road food en route and in the area?

Thank you everyone in advance..

This site is truly addictive..

I am supposed to be finishing a paper for my degree (yes a matureish student) but am so looking forward to thsi trip with my teenage daughters can%26#39;t stop reading reviews etc.

Just south of the hotel where you are staying, right off Main Street on Beebe Road, there is a produce %26amp; seafood market called Ricky%26#39;s. They will steam crabs for you or clams or pretty much anything you%26#39;d like to bring back to your hotel for a feast. They are right near the Tom%26#39;s Cove Campground, so they are used to doing a lot of carry outs. Have fun while you%26#39;re here %26amp; try to explore the back side of the island a bit - most tourists head right to the beach road (Maddox Blvd) and see all the t-shirt and miniature golfing places, but the interior of the island has a lot of fun things to see %26amp; do - even a bowling alley!
