Last year, some attending friends who don't sing went off for the afternoon and ate some hard shell crabs. They had six left over and they brought them back to West River and gave them to me. There were more than I could eat when I brought them out after dinner, so I thought I'd share some of our World famed Maryland cuisine with some of my UK friends. One was game but inexperienced and struggled a bit, one declined politely, another shuddered in revulsion when I opened one up. I gave up on cultural exchange, called over some coastal-raised friends and we tore right into them.

So it's crabcakes, flounder styffed with crabmeat, Crab Norfolk or the like for those who don't like a mess or working a bit for your meal and and some newspapers to spread on the table, lots of napkins and a mallet or sharp knife at least for the hardcore hardshell crab lovers, but for goodness sakes, get some Maryland Seafood while you're in the area!
