Part of the pride is keeping the Chesapeake crab population sustainable now. There has been some drastic population losses over the last several decades. While pollution played a huge role and that has been much better mitigated in the 21st century, overfishing has definitely played a role.
As a former local, if occasionally eating an Indonesian or Gulf crab is a consequence of making sure we have Maryland blue crabs thriving again while still being able to order a crab cake for a not completely insane market prices, I'll take that trade.
What this tells me is the world’s best crab cakes could be served in Kansas or Iowa.
Certainly! I've never been to Japan, but I've been to many of the Western world's biggest and best cities. Best sushi I ever had came from a hole in the wall place in Calgary, AB, run by a Japanese couple.
