Wow, memories of my childhood, when my brother-in-law would take me crab netting at the coast.
Not enough meat to work so hard on.
I grew up on the West Coast. We ate Dungeness and King crabs. There you have some good meat.
Not far from Kent island on the Wye river at my buddies place.Up in SS?

No amount of tasty crab and seafood is worth going to Maryland. We got them mud bugs down here. Close enough.
I used to go to Annapolis as a kid with my dad in season always get a soft shell crab sandwich. Heaven!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.
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!
Public service announcement for all Basement members I read on the internet that @Chdamn and @Chdamn's Wife went to MD and got crabs! 🤣 🤪🥃
Looks like some nice #1 Jimmies.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
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"?
