I had a relative who used to have crab cakes shipped in from Baltimore when they held parties—omg they were so good...
I live in Delaware now. When we moved to Anne Arundel county, on a cove off of the Chesapeake Bay, my father bought a boat and was a crabber.
Crabs are the food of the gods.
Once, long ago and far away, it was common for residents of Washington to make the short drive to Baltimore to enjoy its excellent food and great restaurants. Frankly, I don’t know why anyone lives there anymore.
