.......with these!!!!!
maryland blue crabs, native to the chesapeake bay area.
they are some of the most tastiest crabs I ever had. small in size and a lot of work but it is so worth it-the meat is so tender and sweet!
in maryland, they steam their crabs which makes a difference in the flavor of the crab. when you boil crabs, the water adds weight and reduces the natural flavor of the crab. however, with maryland crabs, they steam it and enhance them with old bay seasoning. yum! my future mother-in-law (FMIL) steams them with a mixture of water, beer, and apple cider vinegar.
t and i get to eat these crabs every year from april to december (crab season) because they are caught right in the river that faces my FMIL and future father-in-law's (FFIL) river house. they built their dream house in southern maryland, on the banks of the potomac. the beautiful house was designed by my FMIL, an architect. it's a special place to the family, and i'm so lucky when i get to go there.
we spent many weekends and special occasions at this idyllic place. we even helped t's family build some parts of the house (green roof and cabinets) so its a really special place for the entire family.
