Nick's Fish House -- Baltimore, MD




On tuesday, I had the privilege to visit Nick's Fish House in Baltimore, MD. My roommate's dad, and part owner, Nick Chagouris, invited some of her friend's down for a night of crab picking and socializing on the water. For my first crabs of the season, these were in-cred-ible. So fresh, and sweet, and very moist and meaty. For a lot of our friends, it was thier first crab picking experience, so watching them try to tackle and master the craft made for quite the scene. Although usually a backseat to the crabs, the sides accompanying our crabs were equally as delicious. We were given cole slaw, which was light, crunchy and sweet, with a slight tang -- steak fries, which were piping hot with a slight crunch and seasoned to perfection -- and the best corn on the cob I've had in a while. The local silver queen corn was juicy and sweet, probably the reason for me devouring at least 5 pieces.

The atmosphere was also incredible. Located on the Baltimore waterfront, Nick's has a huge patio dining area with a calm and casual setting. There is an outdoor bar, and a buffett area for special events. Nick's can accommodate a group of any size, comfortably seating our group of 40. The service was great and very friendly, quickly refilling our buckets of beers and bushels of crabs.

Although hidden away, this spot is a gem! Be sure to visit this summer when the best seafood in Maryland is fresh and in season :)

Remember:

"You cannot teach a crab to walk straight :)"
