I have seen the corn and beer posts and they are what you will see at
crab shacks and lobster pounds. When I enjoy fresh crab or crabcakes, I
like to enjoy crab and crabcakes NOT corn. If you need a filler a lot of
things work like slaw, potatoes, steamed rice, garden salad, bread..and
corn if you want corn.

Drink what you enjoy with any meal. There are many nice wines that work
with seafood.
