If you live in DC, VA, MD or DE you probably know about the Chesapeake Bay seafood giant,
Phillips. If not, rest assured 7 out of 10 restaurants in the United States use Phillips brand crab meat (most if it is the swimming crab from South East Asia, a not terribly distant cousin of our Chesapeak blue). I think I remember reading all this in the City Paper a couple years back. Well, at the Baltimore Harbor, on DCs SW waterfront, and I'
m sure now scattered here and there up 95, are these seafood restaurants. Anything in or near rest stop I recommend passing by quickly. There, my crabcake was all bread and soggy while hush puppies were burnt and dry. If however you manage to make it to the Harbor, DEFINITELY give it a shot. Even their $30 buffet which may consist of starchy soups, iceburge lettuce salads, crab mac-n-cheese, and crab imperial isn't even half bad. I left the corn dogs and fried chicken and just stuck with crab legs, steamed mussels and crawfish. There def is something for everyone there and you'll be sure to get your fill.
