Maryland

Wow, memories of my childhood, when my brother-in-law would take me crab netting at the coast.
 
We let the kids paddle the canoe to the other side of the river and back. A 7 and 11 year old.

It was a Huck Finn moment for them.

Even dropped a paddle at one point and had to retrieve it.

Then I took it out and then the women folk went for a spin. They couldn’t find the little man either.

My buddy paid $50 for this canoe and we picked it up yesterday on Facebook marketplace.

No amount of tasty crab and seafood is worth going to Maryland. We got them mud bugs down here. Close enough.

Man I am going to have to disagree with you there. Blue Crabs right out of the Chesapeake is one of the things that make life worth living. I used to get them in VA and MD and to be honest the MD side were always better. In the fall we would drive to Popes Creek and do all you can eat for $30. These days I order them from Crisfield, MD delivered to the house. I overpay but it tastes like home!

Man, I am hungry for a soft shell crab sandwich now! Haven't had one in ages and I don't get back to that area hardly ever now.
I used to go to Annapolis as a kid with my dad in season always get a soft shell crab sandwich. Heaven!

I have pretty much given up ever going to my favorite pizza/wing and b’cue joint in NY ever again over principle so giving up a little crab is easy. Gotta draw lines somewhere.

We were in Delaware over July 4th. Brother decided to treat everyone to some crabs. Goes to a nearby joint run by some old black dudes and says “I need some crabs.” They say “how much dem crabs you woant?!” He says “hell I dunno…a couple bushels?” Old dude’s eyes get big…”dayum boy! How many peoples you got?!” “I don’t know…a dozen or so.”

$200-something later…

Out of scene is two or three more boxes. Plus some silver queen corn.

I was born in MD but I never got hooked on these crabs. Still not. They’re too damn much work for too damn little reward.

I’ll stick with my snow crabs, thank you

Looks like some nice #1 Jimmies.
 

When I see this picture, all I can think about are crabs.

Mounds and mounds of crabs. Huge mountains of crabs! Crabs in pairs...steaming, hot pairs, just slipping and sliding across my...ummm..."plate"!

Ah...I just can't wait to tell my wife how much I want some, how I've just got to feast upon two mounds specially presented for my consumption by her! It just sends chills down my spine knowing exactly what she's going to say!

"Is that ALL you ever think about?"

🤪

My answer would be "YEP. What's your point"?
