Since you mentioned history of Delaware, thought I would pass on a few Delmarva Recipes and spice info.
Old Bay Seasoning is a standard - but if you can’t find it in your local store, try this substitute.
As all you crab afficionados know, the term “Delmarva” refers to the coastal areas bordering on the states of Delaware (Del), Maryland (mar)and Virginia (va) where the world’s best crabmeat is harvested. Thing is that a lot of people go to a lot of trouble (and a lot of expense) to buy the best lump crabmeat available — but then they use a mass-produced commercial product to season it. Weird! This recipe for ‘homemade’ seasoning is courtesy of Epicurious. All you Old Bay die-hards, I defy you to try it and tell me you can’t taste a difference!!
