The Crab Claw Restaurant

 The Crab Claw is an independently owned restaurant located in St. Michaels, Maryland. Initially a clam-shucking business in the 1950s, the establishment expanded to include a seafood eatery in 1965.

The restaurant, a casual dining establishment, is located on the Miles River. They serve beer, including their own Crab Claw Ale. They rely heavily on Old Bay Seasoning in their food, a local spice blend. The skipjack H.M. Krentz departs from the restaurant's dock on daily excursions.

The Crab Claw was featured on Food TV's Fabulous Summer Fun and in Paula Deen's May 2010 issue. It was awarded "Best Maryland Crab Cakes" by Southern Living Magazine.
