One of the things I loved about Maryland was the charming local custom of sitting around pounding on cooked crabs while drinking beer.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374498643286099244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6000858382516594426.post-13985037635343954442008-04-18T13:51:00.000-04:002008-04-18T13:51:00.000-04:00I, too, love lobster, and crab, and mussels, all k...I, too, love lobster, and crab, and mussels, all kinds of critters that we eat that first we submerge in boiling water. The first time I steamed mussels and heard their shells clicking open and shut, I was disturbed. I know, rationally, they have pretty primative nervous systems, but still. <BR/><BR/>Maggie loves to look at the lobsters in the tank at the Wegmans. I'm sure she doesn't really appreciate what their fate is. <BR/><BR/>The only place around town here to get lobster is the Red Lobster on the Golden Strip. However, I have discovered that eating there doesn't agree with me, so I haven't had lobster in years. The one time it was included in a dish I bought at the local Chinese restaurant, it was inedible, so that doesn't count. <BR/><BR/>I think you were at the crab feast at Barb and Kim's old house in Seabrook, weren't you? That was one of the only times I had an up close and in person experience listening to crabs scratch the pot as they are being steamed to death.<BR/><BR/>But, damn, they're tasty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
