True Marylanders know that fall is one of the best seasons to enjoy a delicious crab feast.
Summer may be the most popular time of year for crabs, but true Marylanders know that fall is one of the best seasons to enjoy a delicious crab feast. The air is crisp, the crowds are smaller, and the crabs are often at their heaviest and sweetest of the year. Whether you are planning a backyard get-together or a casual feast with friends, there are many ways to host the perfect crab feast with help from Costas Inn. Read on to learn more!
Start with the Freshest Steamed Crabs
The most important part of any crab feast is, of course, the crabs. At Costas Inn, our steamed crabs are always fresh, full, and seasoned to perfection with plenty of our own special seasoning. You can dine in with us or order carryout to host your very own crab feast at home. Make sure to order many different sizes depending on your crowd, and do not forget the extra seasoning for good measure!
Set the Scene Outside
One of the best parts of a fall crab feast is the weather. The cooler temperatures means you can enjoy cracking crabs outside without the summer heat. Lay down some brown paper or newspaper over your picnic tables for easy cleanup, set out a lot of mallets and crab knives, and have a bucket or tray ready for your shells. Add some string lights or a small fire pit for that cozy fall vibe.
Serve Up the Best Sides
A great crab feast is never just about the crabs. Round out your meal with some Maryland-style favorites like coleslaw, fries, or onion rings. Want something heartier? Try our pit beef sandwiches or our seafood mac and cheese with lobster. These are both perfect for cool fall nights.
Pair with Warm and Cold Drinks
While ice-cold beet and crushes are classics, fall is the best time to mix it up. Try some hot cider, spiked or non-alcoholic, or even some warm buttered rum for an autumn twist. Of course, a local craft beer or Natty Boh also pairs perfectly with our own special brand of seasoning.
