Nothing says Maryland summer like the smell of Old Bay and the sound of crab shells being cracked. There are tons of great restaurants where you can find crab cakes and soft shell crabs, but only a few serve the traditional steamed crabs that take some effort to eat. These are the best places to linger over your steamed crab dinner for a few hours in Frederick!
