Crisfield Seafood, cherished for its softshell crab sandwiches and nostalgic atmosphere, will close permanently after 79 years, marking the end of an era in local dining.
John Landis noted that the decline in interest from the fourth generation of the family made it increasingly difficult to continue the seafood business, acknowledging the changing priorities of younger family members.
The restaurant's closure was expedited when the family was confronted with a demand for a year-long lease, prompting difficult discussions about their future.
Having operated for several decades amidst significant changes in Silver Spring, Crisfield stood as a nostalgic reminder of traditional seafood dining, as the area evolved into a business district.
