Seafood restaurant sets itself apart from others in the Essex-Middle River area.

Essex-Middle River is a veritable hotbed of seafood restaurants and crab houses, but and Crabhouse sets itself apart from the rest.

While whipping up old Maryland favorites like crab cake sandwiches, steamed crabs, barbecue ribs, chicken Chesapeake and a side of Boardwalk fries, executive chef Rob Palen also adds a unique, Asian-inspired twist with dishes like his sesame sashimi tuna served over a seaweed salad.

Desserts like Reese’s Pieces peanut butter pie and Mississippi mud pie complete a satisfying dining experience at Marli’s.
