Dan Schuman, owner of Captain Dan’s Crabhouse, started in the crab business at Gordon’s Crabhouse in 1971. In 1972 another crabhouse took over the Gordon’s location in Randallstown, and Dan began his 31 years as steamer-general mgr.-partner. During this time his brother Mike, wife Cathy, and many other family members and friends helped Dan develop this store into one of the busiest crabhouses in Maryland.

In 2003 Dan was given the opportunity to buy a restaurant in Eldersburg owned by the Reamer family, owners of Salerno’s Restaurant & Catering. The Randallstown store was sold, and Captain Dan’s Crabhouse opened. Dan, Cathy, Mike, and longtime managers Manny San Juan and Bobby Covino are now greeting and serving Carroll County customers, as well as their established clientele from Baltimore & Howard Counties. The staff is comprised of family and friends, giving personal service to every customer.

At Captain Dan’s a variety of prepared seafood is served for dine-in or carry out, but the claim to fame is their crabs. They buy their crabs and crabmeat daily from Chesapeake Bay watermen. All crabs are steamed to order with a custom blend seasoning. No crabs are re-heated here, and you can taste the difference.

We welcome you to Captain Dan’s, where we are absolutely obsessed with selling the best crabs you have ever tasted. Call and ask for any one of us and we will be happy to personally assist you.
