  Captain White’s Seafood is the best! It’s easy to call in to place an order. They always have great deals and post the prices on Facebook. The crabs are fresh and they cook them to perfection, so tasty! The parking is a plus and the staff is very friendly. Love coming here for the crabs and fresh seafood. Thank you!

  We're from out of state and when we come down to visit family we would patronize captain white when they were at the wharf and had no problems. When they moved to Oxon Hill it was a huge convenience for us. However, The last time I purchased extra large male Blue claw crabs for $89 a dozen, we were disappointed to find that not all the crabs were extra large. In fact two of them were medium and four of them were a little smaller than extra large.
  Mind you we spent over $300 with them that same day. We went there within an hour of closing time. Therefore by the time we got to our family's home to clean and steam the crabs ourselves, it was too late to go all the way back there and we had to leave early the next morning. We called and asked to speak to a supervisor and got hung up on twice by the rude young lady who answers the phone. We posted our complaint on Facebook and was told to get in contact with Douglas and Hank, but when I called and spoke to them I was told that there was nothing they could do for me because we didn't bring the crabs back right away. I explained that they would have been closed by the time we would have went back there and then we were from out of town and had to leave the next day. So what were we supposed to do with the crabs? He just informed me that they had extra large male crabs for sale that day that he could sell me. My immediate family members and distant relatives will no longer patronize this establishment. Instead we go back to the wharf and purchase from Jessie Taylor Seafood. They may be $10 more expensive at times however we would never get ripped off and we always get what we paid for. It's no wonder why captain white keeps doing giveaways. I'm quite sure they're aware of the rip offs. By the way it was the short slim Mexican / Asian looking guy who ripped us off.

  Service was friendly. Prices are just okay. Was open air, so there were flies landing on the stuff. There were 2 lines, long one for crabs and short line on the shrimp, etc. side. Cost to cook was $5.
  
  Had the live female blue crab and peeled and deveined shrimp. Crab was just okay and did not have much more meat than a smaller size. Shrimp was good. Only the lobster shrimp available looked larger, the other selections looked about the same size.
  
  I would season them myself if having them cooked here. The stuff used was heavy on salt.
  
  Parking looked insufficient. Melted seafood ice water and cooking water running down parking lot.

  My first time checking out Captain White's at the Oxon Hill location. The line to purchase moved quite quickly. I purchased a dozen large male crabs, a pound of peeled/deveined shrimp with a roll of paper. I paid an extra $5 to have the crabs and shrimp steamed. That was an experience. It took about 45 minutes for that process to be completed. Thank goodness the sun was not shining even though it was warm outside because it would have been miserable waiting. It was definitely worth the wait. Crabs and shrimp were both delicious.

  So this place is awesome. I woke up craving steamed crabs and didn’t want to go all the way to Annapolis. So I googled local places, and found Captain Whites. I bought a dozen large jimmies steamed with heavy seasoning, and let me tell you, there was not a single dud in the batch. Every crab was heavy with meat, and with a little re-steaming at home to heat them up, the meat was tender, sweet, and delicious. I will definitely be returning this summer for more.
