History
We launched Capital Crab Co. in May of 2016. After spending over a decade working in an authentic Md. Crab House, we decided to start a catering business serving this incredibly popular, and incredibly messy signature dish of Maryland. We knew the key to serving the perfect Md. Blue Crab was to serve it fresh and steaming, and the only real way to experience that at home as a consumer, was to cook live crabs in your kitchen yourself, which no one wants to do. So we bring the crabs to you, cook them up fresh in your driveway or yard, serve them with outstanding sides and all the fixings, then clean it all up.
Specialties
Capital Crab Company is a unique catering service and food truck operation. As a food truck, we are parked at the corner of Greentree Rd and Old Georgetown Rd in Bethesda. As a catering operation, we bring all the elements of a traditional Md. Crab Feast to your door. We cook live steamed crabs on site, as well as outstanding sides like hush puppies with spiced honey butter, gourmet Mac n Cheese, local sweet corn, and our signature spiced, steamed shrimp. We lay down the brown paper, mallets, butter and spice, serve it, and clean it up.
