mother-in-law and NV crab place

[kickms]

As the title says, mother-in-law is visiting    Just new to the town (Pentagon city, Arlington).  NEED to find a nice crab place nearby for crab-loving in-law.

Good crab place can mean either:

(1)
Nice water front tables with nice crabs; or

(2)
Carry-out place with nice Maryland-style crabs.

Any suggestions?

kickms,

The seafood wharf in S.W. D.C. always has crabs to go.

Otherwise call the quarterdeck -- those other places don't have crabs.

Well "VAvet" ---- I have to agree with a 'new guest' here, (we do like a difference of opinion though) ...... Most arn't a "sit down at the picnic table and crack crab" type of resturants ....... B U T ...... The man said he wanted a place with a river view and good food so ....... As far as that and crabs, also try:
