That's a pretty slick way to get a free helper!

Helping is one of the best ways to learn. We all have to start somewhere. Without YouTube, I would not know where to even begin on this crabbing/ducking adventure.

Are we really going to blame me for getting this thread derailed? It cannot always be my fault. Who knows, maybe I am the one that brought up crabs, getting together in White Marsh, The Essen Room, etc. Could have sworn somebody else brought that stuff up. Of course, I am all over it after having driven to LaPlata for pork sandwiches.

Thought of something else. Imagine if this thread swings to guns and shooting. Oh, the travesty. Then, it would be time to lock it down for good. Imagine the bickering over 9mm, .40, and .45 or .223 versus .300.

No crab cakes or steamed crabs for me. Epi-Pens don’t grow on trees

That allergy would suck. My wife just told me the other day that epi-pens are going to become more expensive, as if they weren't already expensive enough. Hard to believe that they cannot meet the demand for these things.

Meh, it’s an easy allergy for me to control. Just don’t eat shellfish or seafood (which, due to ingredients, includes Caesar dressing and Worcestershire sauce). And stay away from steam and vapors. But I do love fishing and use shrimp when surf casting. I guess the fishies know they are all going back into the water? It does suck to be a native Marylandistaner who can’t eat crabs. Used to be able to but the allergy presented itself in my teens. My mother now has the same allergy and that didn’t have to her until she was around 50. So weird how those things work

And they can meet the demand for epi-pens. They started jacking the price up a few years ago because they could and now it looks like it is going to happen again. I have been so blessed to work for a company that has an amazing health-care plan so I pay nothing out of pocket for anything prescribed.

My (NJ native) wife likes crab cakes, but says Marylanders only enjoy picking crabs because "That's what the cool kids do". MIA member iHasCrabs said something very similar.
I like picking crabs and drinking beer as a social event- understanding I'm likely burning more calories picking them than I'm taking in.
I have some Lower Eastern Shore watermen friends. If we wait until after Labor Day, I can get a really good deal on fat Chesapeake Bay crabs for a MDS crab feast. I'm talking ~$100 bushels of #1 Jimmies.

Brother always looking for a hookup on decently priced crabs :innocent0

No crab feast can be complete without...

Have you had them with vinegar? I find it even better.

I've tried crabs with vinegar. Don't care too much for it though. I'll do Old Bay and buttah all day long though...

Funny how this thread suddenly went from “banned camp” to crab camp. Good direction!

I'm not a fan of Old Bay either. JO Seasoning FTW and the best tasting steamed crabs possible. Use it on king and snow crab legs too.

You know, once upon a time, I could buy a dozen crabs and enjoy them. Then, a couple years ago I bought a dozen, my oldest asked for a little, my second oldest asked for a little, and then they wanted me to teach them how to pick them. I might have gotten 6 out of the 12 that day. Daddy learned though. Next time around, I got 2 dozen.

For once, I agree with you.

This is the only time ever, that we agree on something? I am betting we can find something else to agree on. Might take some serious digging, but it is possible.

You like women? lol

Wow....

Here we go with the crabs and condiments discussion. Absolutely nothing needed on good steamed crabs. No butter, no vinegar. Maybe a swipe of the seasoning from the shell here and there. :yummy:

Correct...if you need condiments then you don't really like crabs.

Well, if you're swiping seasoning from the shell that was added during the steaming, isn't that a comment? I steam with JO's and I pour a pile of JO's on the paper to dab the meat in while eating. You are right, NO BUTTER. NO VINEGAR.

If the Butter and Vinegar groupies come in and start calling me names, I'll be out of here.

I steam with water and apple cider vinegar. I pour a little old bay on crabs as they go in the steamer. If you get a little old bay in their eyes they become calm and stop trying to climb out as you are adding more crabs.
