It’s no secret that Delaware is home to the best crabs in the country. Maryland talks a big game… but those who know, know. You’ll pay less for bigger, better blue claws here in the First State, and the best little crab shacks in the state can be found in a shopping center in New Castle.

Lestardo's Crab House is a longstanding family-owned crab shack in Delaware, and they serve delicious Blue Claws all year long.
