It all started with hard work, a man, and the help of his strong, devoted family .

In the Beginning

He came from modest beginnings on the eastern shore of Virginia where his father was a waterman. His decision to settle in DC at the Wharf in the nation's capitol came to him after selling crabs and other various wholesale items around the metropolitan area.

With an honest work ethic, a loyal customer base, and the confidence from local watermen, he was able to not only create a thriving business here on the wharf, but also create a way of life for future generations.

Now, Captain White's has a location in Oxon Hill, MD that loyal customers and tourists flock to for the best blue crabs and seafood around.

Family owned and operated since 1972, Captain White's is your source for the freshest, highest quality seafood.

Honestly, we've been going to Captain whites since wharf days. and to be quiet frank I wouldn't go anywhere else for my seafood. from fish to shrimps to crabs. always on point never a disappointment. I love how everyone is very helpful. even on busy days I love how they team work! if the shrimp side is busy a fella from crabs side will definitely come and help out. amazing customer service.
