I'm not much of a fan of crab legs by themselves (most places make them too soggy).<br /><br />I do love a good plate of shrimp, though. :)Sheldon Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17660822618786253558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7477053899127840506.post-34164507160935654692013-02-14T11:50:52.983-06:002013-02-14T11:50:52.983-06:00Thanks for sharing your gastronomic memories and s...Thanks for sharing your gastronomic memories and scenes from your part of the country. That plate of catfish looks good!<br /><br />While we're talking about regional seafood, I remember growing up with steamed crabs. When I was a teenager, my family would buy half a bushel of freshly steamed crabs from the local crab shack. We'd spread newspaper across the kitchen table, pile the crabs in the middle, and go about extracting the yummy crab meat (truly an art). The whole house smelled like Old Bay!<br /><br />The Cheasapeake Bay used to be reknown for its crabs, which are steamed and seasoned with Old Bay. DELICIOUS. Unfortunately, the crab population is so depleted that a bushel of crabs is prohibitively expensive now.Ahabhttp://republic-of-gilead.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
