He was suggesting it as a cultural experience, and I certainly agree. It's got the most interesting assortment of people that most of us would never encounter in our lives in NW. Of course, we live in NE so are not nearly as snobby as you two.<br /><br />I read somewhere that it is the oldest seafood market in the US, so I doubt it's going anywhere with the (slowly moving) gentrification in the SW waterfront.<br /><br />And I would be willing to bet that the blue crabs are from the Chesapeake ... and even if they're not I'd like to keep believing they are, because a trip to Maine Ave is much more convenient than a trip to the Eastern Shore.Alixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07809921821660723606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1879708435983039594.post-44628668427323757382011-06-22T14:24:31.691-04:002011-06-22T14:24:31.691-04:00Anonymous probably shouldn't spend time readin...Anonymous probably shouldn't spend time reading a blog that is pretentious. <br /><br />I love the SW waterfront and all its varied charms!VChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08675598995861689156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1879708435983039594.post-25850487970554625002011-06-22T14:06:35.888-04:002011-06-22T14:06:35.888-04:00I've been to the fish market a few times, but ...I've been to the fish market a few times, but I'm not a fan.

I'd be willing to bet their crabs are from down south anyways so don't feel too bad. If you really want good blue crabs I'd head back to Annapolis, or the Eastern Shore even. St Michaels/Tilghman Island are a nice day trip.seannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1879708435983039594.post-31413000485575131412011-06-22T13:00:48.118-04:002011-06-22T13:00:48.118-04:00I'm sorry you feel that way :( By no means am...I'm sorry you feel that way :( By no means am I suggesting I'm a true Washingtonian.
