LP Steamers keeps coming up when I ask folks, so have to check it out

I adore LP Steamers because it is NOT fancy. It is NOT touristy. It is small. It is simple. If there isn't a table available, you wait. Menu, order, eat, leave. Bags of chips. Plastic cups of beer. Softshell crab sandwiches on white brad with lettuce tomato and Mayo. Heaven.

Check out Barracudas in Locust Point for a non traditional crab cake, the blackened CC po’boy is amazing.

Jimmys famous seafood exploits migrant workers and minors for their prep and lower positions. was bad then and is just as bad now, hate to hear people still supporting them so heavily

Been to the market one time, will check it out!

Brand new! Whole market just re-opened in a new construction right next to the old building

Faidleys does not move until next year. Also the new market is in soft opening, so only limited vendors are open.

Thanks I did read something about that online so I will have to check it out next time

Nothing outstanding in the immediate Inner Harbor area- best bet would be go to LP Steamers in Locus Point- can walk from Inner Harbor or ride the Banner Circulator. Nicks Fish House is also a short Uber ride away.

No good seafood in the inner harbor. Try LP Steamers, Jimmy’s Seafood, or Thames Street Oyster House.

I forgot to mention Sal’s Seafood in Fells Point. They have excellent fried seafood. Also Lexington Market if you want the real deal lake trout experience.

I heard Lexington Market was recently re-opened but food stalls might be limited, but that's the kind of stuff I was looking for, nothing too fancy

[deleted] t1_itsosfh wrote

There are other markets like it, not as big, but still worth going to. The place I mentioned Sals is located inside the Broadway Market in Fells Point. The other joint is in Federal Hill and it’s called Cross Street Market.

I've enjoyed The Water St Tavern, tho it's not particularly big on seafood, it's a fine crab cake.

Maryland crab soup or the cream-type chowder type of crab soup? MD crab soup is a tomato-vegetable broth base, a bit of spice (and sometimes, short rib). The best version in the city is Faidley's at Lexington.

DustyTrinkets OP t1_itsoiyy wrote

OR, best classic (not fancy) seafood in Baltimore in general?

Matt3989 t1_ituwwao wrote

Koko's Pub for Crab Cakes, Faidley's for an old Baltimore staple style of crab cakes, LP steamers for crabs, steamed shrimp, or soft shell sandwiches, The Penny Black for mussels.

Anyplace that has Rockfish or Snakehead on the menu probably does it decently, but I can't think of anyone that consistently gets those in (Myth and Moonshine used to be my go to, but they have since closed).
