Enjoy Fresh Crab Meat at This Delicious Seafood Restaurant in Maryland

This Bel Air kitchen is a serious contender for the best crab cakes in Maryland.

What's your go-to seafood restaurant? It's one of the most popular questions here in Maryland, and it's no mystery why. Access to the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean means Marylanders can enjoy an abundance of fresh, delightful seafood whenever the craving strikes. Today's feature destination is one spot that promises to impress: Latitude Seafood Co. Some folks argue that it serves the best crab meat in the state, which is quite a lofty claim. You'll just have to pay them a visit and see for yourself!

The motto at Latitude Seafood Co. is "seaside to tableside," a philosophy that has served the restaurant quite well. What began as a restaurant venture in 2015 in Virginia has since expanded into four unique locations, with one right here in Bel Air, Maryland. The restaurant's calling card is its signature crab cakes, but that's just the start of what makes Latitude Seafood Co. such an exceptional dining experience.

The Bel Air location has a sleek and modern aesthetic without losing its signature laid-back, family-style feel. It's the kind of place suitable for both a romantic night out and a casual gathering with the whole family. Start your meal with something refreshing from the bar, like the Prickly Pear Margarita or the famous Latitude Crush. Next, order a round of hushpuppies or salt and pepper calamari for the table. Fried to perfection, these small bites set the stage for all the delicious seafood in store for you.

Now onto the main event. You can't go wrong with any of Latitude's options, but we hear the crab meat is simply unbeatable. Fortunately, there are several ways to enjoy a healthy dose of lump crab, including she-crab soup, crab dip, crab rangoons, stuffed wild flounder, crab cake sandwiches, and more. If you consider yourself a purist, the jumbo lump crab cake, served with remoulade, is exceptional.

And don't forget dessert. Give the sugar cookie banana ice cream sandwich a try—you can thank us later! Beyond its lovely atmosphere and impressive menu, Latitude Seafood Co. has earned a reputation among its community for first-rate service to its customers and employees alike.

So whether you're a crab meat enthusiast or simply looking for a fun new restaurant to try, we bet you'll be planning your return trip to Latitude in no time. Have you ever been to Latitude Seafood Co.? If not, send this article to a fellow seafood enthusiast and plan your visit today!
