Haha starting with bread pudding first. Some of us can afford to do that and others have to exercise restraint.
We were at The Surfing Crab located at 16723 Coastal Highway. In Lewes, Delaware. Going north past the town on Lewes.
A craving for crabs is what we had. We called their telephone 302-644-4448 to reserve extra large crabs to be eaten there. You can also have take out. Surfing Crab has a full menu with really good food, as well.
Do you like hush puppies? An order of hush puppies , of course. Sophia made a sauce with Ketchup and Vinegar too.
Then those enormous crabs made an entrance. They were so sweet. We started picking, talking, a few beers and only took home 3.
I dipped the meat in vinegar. Others like butter too but vinegar was it last night.
Picking crab for me is relaxing and very social.
These are my first crabs of 2024. At The Surfing Crab the atmosphere is casual and fun. Great service by the way.
Check them on Social Media….At the moment they close Monday and Tuesday.???

Crabs and more crabs. I really do love them. There is something about them. A pile of crabs, pitchers of beers, if so desired, and the picking of the crabs talking with fellow diners. At the Delaware Beaches we have several restaurants considered crab houses. I go to all of them. As long as my crabs are heavy, and a decent size, there is nothing better than the taste of a blue crab.
The Surfing Crab is located at 16723 Coastal Highway, just north of Lewes, Delaware. There is plenty of parking. You know how important that is at this time of the year. Tel. 302-644-4448. Website? http://www.thesurfingcrab.com. It does not take long from Rehoboth Beach. They open Monday to Friday from 4 p.m. until 9 p.m. Saturday and Sunday from Noon until 9 p.m.
There is more on the menu than crabs, but for me, that’s all I go there for. I have also ordered them steamed to go.
If you go today, you will find that they have all sizes; even those large ones.
The Surfing Crab has all you can eat crabs, as well. They will come with fries, coleslaw, and potato salad. No sharing, you need to eat the whole crab and there is a limit of 2 hours.
Crabs are steamed to order, unless you call in.
There is also a full bar available.
I would have to say that they have been consistently good. Their prices are also competitive with everyone else. Crabs are expensive, that’s a given, but worth it.
So, if you are in the mood for crabs, now you know where to go.
Let me know how you like them….talk to you later.

Last Wednesday I had a great day. I went to visit Cuca, one of my Puerto Rican childhood friends, in Philadelphia. Spent the day. Our visits feel like years have not gone by, and believe me in reality, they have.
After getting caught in a nice traffic jam or as they would say in Puerto Rico, “tapon”, my mind kept wondering to the crab house I went at the beginning of the summer. At that time I thought they were very good.
I figured, why not, what’s another day without a home-cooked meal? There have been plenty, believe me.
The Surfing Crab, Restaurant & Bar is located on 16723 Coastal Highway, Lewes, DE 19958, just north of Lewes; and a short drive from Rehoboth Beach. The tel. is 302-644-4448. The website is http://www.thesurfingcrab.com. Hours of operation: Mondays – Thursdays from 12 – 10 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays from 12 – 11 p.m. and Sundays, 12 – 10 p.m.
Plenty of parking available. I called and reserved a dozen large crabs. There is nothing better than to pick a juicy, fat, hot crab on a summer night.
The traditional bar is located as you come in; to the sides there are 2 eating areas; the ever present long tables ready for crab picking.
The Surfing Crab offers blue crabs, shrimp, fish, oysters, salads and a children’s menu.
A board is posted with all the daily specials. If by any chance anyone in your group does not eat crabs or even seafood, there are a few items on the menu that would be perfect like linguini with roasted garlic tomato and fresh basil sauce, blackened chicken breast with a Cajun-rub, or you can make the salad a meal.
Sandwiches; crab cake, soft shell crab, and the ever present burger are on the menu, as well.
I have ordered their deviled eggs and are very good. It seems that deviled eggs are back on demand; they are in every restaurant.
On Wednesday I started with a salad with blue cheese dressing and it was a pretty good size one.
Finally, the crabs arrived. Oh yes, they were hot and heavy. Easy picking.
Other people came in for crabs and because the way tables in many of the crab houses are set up, you get to talk to other fellow diners. They were vacationing from Washington; staying in Lewes. So, of course, I told them about the blog and bla bla bla; out the business card came and new friends were made.
Yes, a hot summer night before the last big summer week-end of the summer season, as we know it, here at the Delaware Beaches.
Have a great week-end; the weather will get better, it always does….oh, I forgot….talk to you later…
