MEET THE CRAB WHISPERER
In the world of Maryland crabs, not all #1s are created equal. Most crab houses size their catch by shell width – a simple ruler measurement that tells you nothing about what’s actually inside.
But at Mick’s, we’ve torn up the rulebook. For over a decade, Mick himself (yep, there’s actually a real Mick, and he’s just as crabby as you’d hope!) has personally inspected and hand-sorted every bushel that comes through our doors.
What’s he looking for? The Mick’s Triple Guarantee: hard shells that give your mallets a workout, hefty weight you can feel in your hand, and meat so full it practically bursts out when cracked. When we call something a #1, it’s not just about size – it’s our ironclad promise of quality.
This obsession might seem a little overboard (see what we did there?), but it’s why our regulars drive past dozens of other crab houses to get here. Because when you’ve waited all week for your crab feast, “good enough” just isn’t good enough.
So next time you’re at Mick’s, know that each crab on your brown paper table has passed through the hands of the pickiest crab connoisseur in the state. One bite and you’ll taste exactly what makes our crabs legendary!
