Thoroughly enjoyed my softshell crab sandwich. $25 and got two crabs. Staff is friendly.
Love the seafood always have some great selections on shrimp
Quite a good food market experience which pretty to an Asian setting. Softcrab and raw clams are ready good. The clam soup doesn't have any meat.

After an evening walk-through, as the stalls were cleaning up and shutting down shop, I had set my heart on soup the next day. Although it was only 10:30 in the morning, so kindly, they brought out the soups so we could have a small, hot bowl as we strolled back along the Wharf.
The Maryland Crab soup was a fantastic brunch, just as I suspected!
That place is awesome and the folks working there are great!
Monopoly makes this place a tourist scam.
When I moved to DC area many years ago, this place was just a pure finish market and we liked to buy Maryland blue crab here for 3 -4 times per year. There were some different merchants sell crabs and we can choose the one with best quality and price.
But now things are changed. This place has only one merchant sell crab, so they didn't care the quality of crab anymore. Last Saturday I went there and find they display their female crabs are meaty and full with roe. So I purchased half dozen. However when I am back home after 35 mins, 2 crabs already dead and all six crab are almost empty with no much meat and roe.
This merchant also sell fish but they don't remind you if they provide cleaning service. I bought one fish but I found it is with scales on it. I can bought the same fresh fish at Wegmans with less price and cleaning service.
To sum up, this place is no longer a real fish market any more but just a tourist scam. I am so sorry DC area residents lose this place to purchase the high quality blue crab.
Grew up with my parents going to the fish market.
Crabs are bomb
This is a really great fish market. They multiple stalls on floating barges, selling a plethora of different kinds of seafood. I think it’s really interesting seeing all the different kinds of fish and shellfish available for sale. The fish is very fresh and the fact that the majority of it is floating is really cool.
