Captain White’s Seafood

Freshness is questionable. Odd taste to Both fried food and raw fish. Probably won’t eat here again. Coming from Seattle. I’m not impressed by seafood in DC.

On today's stop, we had some fresh oysters (very tasty!) and some boiled crawfish (fairly dull) before heading over to Jesse Taylor's to pick up some blue crabs. Crab isn't in season right now, so it's hard to find, but the ones we picked up -- probably from Louisiana -- were very tasty when we brought them home to steam. I always have mixed feelings about the DC Wharf. It's a neat place to visit, an authentic experience, and the seafood is fresh, and you can get things here you just can't find in local supermarkets. That said, it can be a bit overpriced and it's even harder to get to now that the whole place is under massive construction. All in all though, it's a DC institution that has stood the test of time and I'm never sorry I stopped by.

Great location! They have so much variety. All kinds of fresh fish, shrimp, crawfish, female and male crabs, oysters, WHOLE OCTOPUS, and so much more!! My husband and I searched everywhere for an octopus to make some fresh ceviche and this place made it happen for only $5 a pound. Will definitely be back!!

Great selection of fresh seafood but be aware it’s not a restaurant. They can steam crabs and shrimp for you but not fish. Most people take it to go. Staff is helpful with good advice

Not a fan of the area makeover and expensive parking. Otherwise, great crabs all season.
