When I was a kid, crabs in Maryland were cheap. Hell, they were free if you knew someone who lived on the water. Crab cakes were not a gourmet food, they were something you did with leftover cab meat. Cheap lunch for the kids. We used to put them between saltine crackers with a little ketchup on them. I can still see the red ketchup oozing through the little holes in the cracker when you bit into it. Good times.

I like the Dungeness crabs here on the west coast, but I steam them Maryland style. Very expensive, though. And it's weird because the season for them is the opposite of Maryland. We have them for Christmas dinner.

Spent a lot of time out West, in PETALUMA. Many dinners of Dungeness had in Bodega bay or on the Pier in SF.... miss em. Ate them till I almost blew out
