Chew on This: Where Do You Go for Maryland Crabs?

In food and wine editor Todd Kliman's chat this morning, a Bethesda reader wrote that he or she has lived in Maryland for nearly two decades but has "never been able to figure out what the excitement is about crabs." The reader has tried soft-shells, crabcakes, and crab boils and is still unconvinced that crabs can have lots of flavor. Kliman suggested trying Cantler's Riverside Inn. What do you think? Is it worth the effort to pick through steamed crabs? Where do you go for good ones?
