Linton's Crab House & Seafood Carry-Out

Stopped in for crab meat. Left with 1lb crab meat, soft crab sandwich and hush puppies, 2 pieces of smith island cake. Made crab cakes for dinner oh my that was good crab meat. Ate the soft crabs in the truck, they were perfect. Plump, cooked perfectly, flavor was terrific. The hush puppies were good too. The smith island cake was well smith island cake. Yum. Always get good things here! Great people too.

I just called the company to complain about how salty the crabs were, so much that they were inedible. I was transferred to the owner and explained to him that we had crabs shipped to us that were extremely salty and the meat was dried out. He then called someone named George and was told to have me reorder and they’ll throw some extra crabs in. That’s nice, however, considering the quality of the crabs I received I would NEVER order from them again. I told him some of the google reviews even mentioned the saltiness. He then calls someone else and has a background conversation about my complaint and goes on to tell me that they have hundreds of reviews and maybe 1 or 2 mentions the saltiness. He explained that I had 24 hours to report the issue and ship the crabs back (I called them 6 days later). Well, these were a gift from my husband, therefore, I did not make the purchase. I was unaware of the policy. But given the quality of the crabs I would not have even wanted a replacement. The purpose of the phone call was to provide feedback. My suggestion was if you are aware that the seasoning can cause the crabs to become so salty that they are inedible then maybe put a disclaimer on your website suggesting the seasoning on the side. People work too hard to just throw money away. I can not recommend Linton’s.

ok, so this is popular with tourists, but you'll find as many locals here as well. We ordered large crabs and they were perfect. For desert we had homemade Smith Island Cake, my favorite is orange dreamsicle. Bought some fresh local tomatoes and potato salad, all delicious. This is a must stop for all kinds of seafood but especially Maryland crabs.
