Need recommendation on good online place for Maryland crab

We ordered some from Phillips last time, and I really was not impressed by it.

We just got their mailer today, so I thoguht I would ask you guys and see if anyone can recommend a good place to buy Maryland crabs.

I like to have crab and shrimp in the freezer for easy fried rice making.

Thanks!

Interestingly enough, Phillips don't even call their crab Maryland crab any more. Probably got advice from lawyers to NOT say that after they got in trouble for using Indonesian import stuff.

carendt242 has a reputation beyond repute

check out Browne Trading in Maine - they have a reputation for the best seafood - and supply most high-end restaurants with stuff. (yes, they are in Maine, but they get the best of the best from around the country.)

Yep. My MIL has been in Baltimore for about 2 years, and every time we come back to LA after the visit, I miss the crab so badly.

I was sorry to have ordered Phillips...
