The Maryland Crab House is located in the Mott Haven neighborhood of the #Bronx.

We love their #handpainted #signage featuring images of live #crabs.They also specialize in fresh #fish 🐟, shrimp, clams and lobsters. The owner told us that when they first opened they went early every morning to the Fulton Fish Market in Manhattan to get their inventory but in more recent years are able to get fresh #seafood from the Hunts Point market in the Bronx. Photo from 2004 appears in our book "Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York". #storefront #signgeeks #tv_retrotype #disappearingfaceofnewyork #fontastic #signcollective #eyesonthebronx #everydaybronx
