While it is possible to find crabs in many other coastal states, there is something unique and memorable that comes with eating Maryland crabs. There are different preferences for many when it comes to picking styles; the right seasoning blend and cooking techniques also differ. However, one thing many agree on is the deliciousness and uniqueness of Maryland crabs. If you’re wondering why crabs are so highly regarded here in Maryland, you’ve come to the right place. Read on to learn what makes crabs such a special meal for those living in Maryland!

Why Are Maryland Crabs So Special?

Blue crabs are commonly known as Maryland crabs. According to research, Maryland waters by the bay provide approximately half of the United State’s blue crabs. They’re essential to Maryland’s heritage and culture, particularly in the summer. Blue crabs are well know for their delicate texture and their depth of flavor as well.

Techniques for Picking Crabs

There are countless methods and procedures for harvesting crabs. A few people use mallets and knives, while others use their teeth. Whatever way you decide to eat Maryland blue crabs, you will need plenty of space and paper towels for your feast!

The Best Place to Eat Crabs

A lot of people enjoy having crab feasts with their families and friends during the summertime. Others will set up tables covered in newspaper on their lawns, and some employ leased venues. If you want to have crabs on any given day, then your best bet is to come visit Costas Inn!
