Cuisine Review

If anyone decides to visit Baltimore, it would be a tragedy to skip over Mama's On The Half Shell. Besides the tavern-like atmosphere & delicious Orange Crush beverages (not virgin, so don't offer to your children), the seafood is out of this world. Even if you don't like oysters (specifically fried, which is their specialty), you have plenty of other options to choose from. Portions are overly generous. A San Francisco native sitting next to us ordered fish and chips, and I'm not kidding when I say it looked more like medium-sized dog and chips. In a good way. Crab cakes here are not teased with bread, so dieters and seafood buffs alike can enjoy a good ol' lump of crab, without rushing to the gyno afterwards. And if you are a light weight and think Bloody Mary's are the cat's pajamas, get an oyster shooter: a Bloody Mary shot with a raw oyster immersed like buried treasure, posted below.  You won't go home sober or unsatisfied. 
I guess it's true.... Mama always knows best ;)
