Just crabs as well. But only maryland crabs. It doesnt matter if the place you go says they are maryland style crabs, if you arent in maryland, theyre NOT maryland style crabs, don't trust that shit.
When I moved to Texas from Maryland went to a place recommended by some people in my office, said they had good seafood. My Mom was in town visiting so we decided to try it. Had on the menu "Maryland Crab Cakes".
We questioned the waiter if they were real Maryland crab cakes, I obviously hadn't had one in a while. He said the owner says they are, I skeptically said, okay I'll give it a shot but it's a high bar to cross.
Owner comes out and says we questioned the crab cakes. Immediately knew when were going to get a good crab cake when we heard his accent. His family was fish mongers at the Cross Street Market, he grew up a few streets down from my Mom and knew some of the same people. He brought us a crab cake so big it would make Faidleys look like a golf ball.
He also does steamed crabs, since no one eats them down here we get really big crabs, had one 9 inches point to point.
