canvass sack of live crabs.
I grew up right on a little cove off the Chesapeake Bay called Langford Creek, just south of Rock Hall. My rig of choice was a 1000 foot trotline. Sometimes I used bull lips and other times salted eels. Bushels of crabs all summer long. Steamed to perfection over a mix of water and vinegar with the crabs doused in a bath of kosher salt and Old Bay. All that goodness oozing into the sweet tender meat.
Perfection I tell you. When a crab is steamed correctly, it blows a boiling pot out of the water. Before you naysay, visit the Eastern Shore yourself. Most on this board would appreciate it. It is a similar way of life to S. La.
BTW-The only thing I like boiled is shrimp.

OK I'll bite: what is a Bull Lip?
Bite... Lip... Sorry, it's been a long night

I'd just like to see more crab or shrimp boils. Maybe an old fashioned pig roast.

This sentence literally makes me want to vomit.
Old Bay may be the worst seasoning I have ever tasted in my life.

You have lost your mind. Steamed sucks. I used to travel in the Northeast quite a bit, and it seems that eveery person I worked for felt it was their obligation to prove that steamed was better than boiled and they failed on every attempt

My point is not to equate what they do on the eastern shore of Maryland with what they do in the rest of the North East. It's like saying your went to Monroe LA and had some really crappy Cajun food.
Have you been east of the Chesapeake?

I didnt lose anything I have certainly had steamed seafood from Virginia. Its certainly not on my favorite foods list mainly because of Old Bay. If they didnt use that shite everywhere I would probably enjoy it.

Philly, Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York. Various places in each state

I've got a friend who cooks crawfish this way. I've just got too much respect for crawfish and crabs to cook them this way. Seems like it would take awhile to die.

Now that is just wrong. You need to boil crawfish and shrimp. Crabs are a more delicate meat. It needs to be treated with care.
