Bought half bushel last night. The crabs were light, small, and the box lid closed easily with a dip in the top. Been buying crabs from them for years . The last few times have been junk. Where’s the good crab place in Cambridge now?
I purchased JM Clayton crab meat from a local grocery store. It was the best crab meat and getting it on sale made it even better. Great quality, so fresh, no shells. Thank you!!
These were the best crabs I have ever had. It’s not even close. So fresh, sweet and seasoned perfectly
Its the best-tasting crabmeat I have had the pleasure to have found.
Superior crab meat!!
Awesome crabs. Best seasoning ever.
The Crab Meat is exquisite, and Mandy's Warmth made the Meat taste even better!!!
Great deals on crabmeat.
Best Crabs you will ever have!! Cooked or not they have you covered. My family has gone to them for forty years.
Best crabs I've had in years. Will be my go to from now on. If you haven't tried here you're missing out. 32 years on the eastern shore and I can't believe I never knew they were there, thanks to a good friend Doug Whittington this my go to place now. Thanks for the outstanding monster Wye river crabs. Best price I could find anyone highly recommend

Good value
Steamed crabs were delicious! Staff was super helpful. Highly recommend.
Great business for buying fresh variety of Crabmeat. ???
05/18/2019 As others have stated, the office staff (lady at the sales window and her owner? boss) were as helpful and friendly as any buying consumer could possibly hope for. Great local people that bend over backwards to help with their knowledge of crabs and other seafood. Keep in mind that prices will constantly change with the ever-fluctuating seafood market, production costs and public demand, so that should be expected. All of their crabmeat is prime/excellent. Presently there are 3 different grades of lump #1. Top grade/today fresh, perfect and pleasing to a crab lovers' eye. #2. Same lump with mixed in backfin. #3. Now called lump but we know it as all backfin. Yesterdays (05/17/2019) per pound prices - $30, $25 and $18 - All extremely fair value. There's a video on their website where picked crab shells and other discarded crab meat/residue are fed into an extruder to produce a product which is sold in 5 lb. blocks of refined paste (called "Badder" $7.50 for 5 lbs.) Apparently restaurants use this crab tasting product to stretch the volume of crabcakes they make and possibly? help bind/hold the crabcake together? (I've tried it twice - not to my taste) In ending, for the best and the freshest eastern shore crabmeat plus dealing with decent human beings selling a reasonably priced crabmeat, J.M. Clayton Co. is the place. I'm pretty sure hey ship? Call them.09/04/2021/Labor Day Weekend Again, I went to J.M. Clayton's. This time I bought two #3's and a claw 1 lb. container of crab meat, all for under $85. In comparison one container of #1 at Hockers being $80 and at a Ray's Shanty Restaurante down in Chincoteague, VA. just under $50. J.M. Clayton has the freshest crabmeat by far, also the best tasting and considerably cheaper. The people who run the J.M. Clayton are the kind of people you would want to be your neighbors., decent, truthful and real eastern shore. All positives in my book.Taked note: Crabs everywhere here on the eastern shore this summer were really scarce and definitely expensive at $200 a bushel (uncooked) and up. Buying by the pound cooked and picked for the best crabcakes money can buy is smart spending for consumers, that's why I buy from J.M. Clayton.
Great crabmeat place on the way to or from the beach. Just off Rt50 in Cambridge. Fresh picked or frozen options available. Nicely packed in ice for the ride.
