One of my fondest memories of childhood was when my dad came in from the marshes working as a roughneck with a brown canvass sack of live crabs. He'd boil them on Saturday afternoon and we'd sit down at a small kitchen table. I was too young to peel them. He'd share one for one. This crab is yours and this crab is mine.

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.
