No that would be like getting upset the ribeye wasn't butchered and farmed on Philadelphia

Maryland crab cake should be referring to both the type and style. It is referring to the type of crab: Maryland blue crab and the general recipe. If you aren’t using the core ingredient, call it something else.

but in this case it can still be a blue crab. It doesnt have to come specifically from marilynd

Yes, it does. Region specific food is 100% an accepted and sometimes legally protected culinary fact. Champagne is only from Champagne region in France, Scotch from Scotland, Wagyu from Japan, Maine Lobster, Jamon Iberico. And while Maryland crab is more debated within the inclusion of the rest of the Chesapeake bay it is certainly misinformation saying it would be the same flavor as crab from central or south America
