Jimmy's Seafood - Baltimore Ghost Rating 89/100
Oh man, we woke up pretty hung over, the morning after a great concert and a fair amount of Irish whiskey. We knew there was only one cure, so three of us wandered over to Jimmy's Seafood to check out their fresh crab selection and of course a little hair of the dog. We actually drove to three other places in Canton that were all sold out from the previous evening and ended up at Jimmy's by default. It was about three in the afternoon and we had the whole restaurant to ourselves. Our server was very nice and the service was timely. The Atmosphere felt more like a new age Mexican restaurant than a seafood place...the music was so bad that we had to beg the server to change it, and she did, and we were thankful.
We started with the Lump Crab Dip & Garlic Bread. This was the best crab dip that I have had in Baltimore in a few years. It was loaded with nice big lumps, perfect consistency and was very fresh.
I was with another chef buddy of mine and we are usually sticklers about food....but this dip was really good. Totally unexpected. We ordered a pitcher of beer that could have been colder....but it hit the spot. Shortly after the crab dip disappeared the Jumbo Steamed Crabs showed up and we were in heaven. The crabs were well seasoned & cooked perfectly. It was nice being the only people in the whole restaurant because those crabs were hot, fresh & fast. I must say I wasn't expecting this place to be anything worth writing about, but it was actually pretty killer. The fries were just Sysco Fries, but they weren't bad at all. We did not venture into the menu because we came solely for the crab. However, I will go back and give a shot one day soon.
