Old Bay is used, pretty much, everywhere as a crab boil. There are a
couple of other ones, also, and they're all good. I didn't mention
using something like Old Bay when cooking them, but I should have... as
I always use something like that to steam or boil them. I sometimes
use melted butter and lemon with crabs, but if I dipped every bite in
butter, the abdominal pain would be unbearable after the first dozen.
Crabs are so plentiful here that there are a lot of "all you can eat"
specials on crabs... at my age, I can handle far more crabs than
butter. I've also eaten a lot of crabs in the Baltimore and Annapolis
areas.
