Warm weather days are meant for feasting outside. And you can bring a bit of the sea to your own backyard by hosting a crab feast for family and friends. All you need is a bushel of crabs, some flowing libations, scene-setting music (Van Morrison is a great option!) and hours of down time.
We are lucky to have our neighboring state of Maryland be home to the best crabs in the world, and our local crab shacks are stocked with a bevy of these crustaceans for a bountiful meal.
Celebrate warm weather by picking up some fresh crabs, or lobsters, from these local crab shacks.
