Many believe that Gabler's was the best crab shack ever (see its entry on Cyber Plaque) and have been lost ever since it closed. This past Saturday we tried Captain Chris' Crab Shack in North East, MD, and we think it is our replacement for Gabler's. Nice size crabs. All the crabs and ears of corn you could eat for $18 a person (I believe the price fluctuates). Children under 5 got the same for free, and 6 to 18 year olds paid their ages. It is outside so I imagine it can be hot and buggy at times, but it was beautiful the day we were there. Very nice wait staff. It does not have the charming setting that Gabler's did, but it is a fun place.
