Fresh steamed crabs at Kahler's Seafood in Rosedale, Md.
And this is why I keep coming back to Maryland. Literally right off the boat and steamed fresh!
It’s still pretty early in the season for local crabs. Sometimes there just aren’t enough being caught in the Chesapeake Bay before Memorial Day, and local crab houses have to turn to suppliers in North Carolina and Louisiana to meet demand. The fact that we’re able to get fresh crabs from the bay this early is definitely a good sign, especially since we won’t be seeing much of anything from Louisiana at all thanks to the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and its effects on seafood in the Gulf of Mexico.
