You’ve gutted your own crabs on a dock off Back Creek, so you know the drill: Annapolis does seafood like a sport. This isn’t the tourist-trap steamers by City Dock.

It’s the all-you-can-eat battleground, from the neon-lit sprawl of Seafood Palace’s oyster-shucking station to Buddy’s Crabs & Ribs, where the cajun shrimp kick harder than a midshipman’s hangover. Sure, some trays of fish sit under a heat lamp longer than a skipjack’s season.

But one cracked crab leg, still warm and buttery, erases all that. Here’s where to loosen your belt.

Go on.
