I went to the new location in Oxon Hill last week and got a 1/2 dozen of XL Female and a 1/2 dozen of XL Male Crabs. I cooked myself and the were so fresh and meaty. Also got the tiger shrimp also fresh. Good Price $80 for everything. Crabs were so heavy I even ate the claws, which I never usually eat.
This was the first time I have been to the new location. The team there is ready and willing to help you get what you want. Although Captain White Seafood does not stream the crabs for you at this point they still offer the best crabs of the region. Check Captain White Seafood City on there Facebook page for weekly prices. Don't forget the old bay by the way.
My experience was good. Not at all like some of these reviews. I actually question their validity.Anyway, food was clearly marked and clearly priced. No need to haggle because the prices were cheaper than the regular grocery store (and the seafood is fresh, not frozen).I do wish that all of the seafood advertised on the website was in stock. Maybe the wholesale cost would have been too high... I really wanted oysters though.All that was available to purchase was crab bushels (whole crabs), boxes of crab legs, and four varieties of shrimp. Also, the smell of seafood wasn't overpowering like some places. It helps that the market is outdoors.This is my new favorite spot when I come through on 95. I look forward to my next visit.
I been going to Captain Whites since I was a teen w/ my mom.. ❤️ Love EVERYTHING about them.. Excellent Customer Service & friendly staff. Never disappointed, ? Love the new location 5 min from my house & curbside service.. I highly recommend you to go..
New location doesn’t have steamers yet.. Father’s Day they said they should have it.As a person of color, Asian and an ally, I have received bad treatment from the dc wharf location, and I knew coming in it was going to be hard dealing with the sellers. But I really want to change this stigma. If not from them from me. I stopped going there altogether and wanted to give them another chance at the new location.Asking prices doesn’t mean we are cheap. And some people actually prefer female crabs over male crabs!! But our cookout calls for catering to all various shades of people and genders- male crabs. (Happy pride month!! Androgynous crabs too!)To the sellers! Please do not make an ugly face when people ask for prices. And I hope tipping becomes more common with Asians but I do tip, so don’t generalize. If we just had consistently nice treatment as human to human, it would be more pleasant, nay, enjoyable to support local business.If we are cheap, same could be said about captain white leaving their lease at the wharf. Also know your target market. I’m sure you moved to PG county for a reason! If you are just nice and treat everyone with the same respect, rich looking, poor looking, whatever the f, I would come buy crabs every weekend in season.I call ahead cause I sound American, my American brother in law always get good prices calling ahead, I get there I ask for the prices suddenly it’s huge gap, I won’t say cause market prices fluctuate. It was completely reasonable for a customer to ask, even if someone asks to see size the crabs it’s within reason. No one likes to feel like they are getting ripped off, and I have been constantly ripped off, trying to support such business even when I come thru and engage nicely it’s just sad how we treat each other and we expect and demand to be treated better.Golden rule: treat other people the way you want to be treated..
Great prices and meaty! My new spot
Captain White, I am extremely disappointed. The crabs are very small and have no meat. The mediums are really small and should be sold as small. It seems as if they are trying to sell small crabs at the price that the large ones would be. I purchased a half of bushel, Over half of them went in the trash because we did not want to waste time trying to pick these baby crabs that had no meat, I will stick with the crab legs at Giant and Safeway in the seafood department, they are always nice size. Captain White has lost me and my family as a customer. I would not recommend them to others.
Best selection, freshest seafood, cooked to order, great prices, and great services. I visit often and told several people about this place. It’s a must in MD. See ya soon!!!
Now able to steam the crabs at this location ! Customer should know before going there . Charging for seasoning an additional $ 2 as if it doesn’t go on the crabs ! Only selling crabs at this time . Hopefully things will get better for now it’s a no for me !
Bought $99 1/2 bushel special. Very disappointed. Small crabs and not really a full 1/2 bushel. But more disappointed in Captain Whites response. He did not care, seemed to dismiss me and while I was talking, said if you don’t like them bring them back and hung up. Sadly, I don’t think his product is worth the cost. I should have known that if it sounds too good to be true it usually is. T&J Seafood, I am sorry I strayed from you.
