The Essentials For A Maryland Crab Feast

Blue crabs are a Maryland delicacy. During the summer months in the Old Line State, crab feasts are a common occurrence. If you are a Maryland resident, chances are you probably already understand proper crab feast protocol. If you are new to crab feasting, here are some of the essentials that you are going to need.

The Essentials For A Maryland Crab Feast

Make sure you are prepared for your next Maryland crab feast!

Mallet & Knife

Sometimes you just need to put your ego aside. Even crab feast veterans are better off having a crab mallet and a knife for picking meat at the table. Crabs are sharp in certain places and it does not make sense to risk cutting yourself when you can just use a tool.

Newspaper

Picking crabs is fun, but also extremely messy. Expect your hands to be covered in seasoning within a matter of minutes. If possible, it is recommended to have your crab feast outside. Cover a picnic table with old newspaper and then start setting the table.

Ice Cold Beer

Crab and beer make the perfect combination. Make sure your refrigerator is well stocked with the beer of your choice!

Corn On The Cob

Corn on the Cob is a classic. It is so simple, yet so delicious. Just drop it into boiling water and set the kitchen timer. Once it is done, smother it in butter and your favorite seasoning.

Paper Towels

It is impossible to have a crab feast without paper towels. Nobody wants your dirty hands handling the side dishes. Make sure you have several paper towels rolls on the table.
