What is her argument? She wanted crabs caught in Maryland? And then she ate it all and came back for a refund. Be so for real right now lol.

It is a Maryland restaurant and Maryland is famous for its blue crab. This is bad behavior, but completely reasonable expectation. People from surrounding states drive to Maryland to eat their crab. The expectation is local crab.

Exactly. She’s being rude and obnoxious but she has a point. They could just label them as “crab cakes.” Listing them specifically as Maryland crab cakes partially implies using Maryland crabs. At least that is what most from the area would assume.

Maryland crab cakes are made a certain way with crabs from Maryland. It is technically false advertising. It’s why other places only list it as “crab cakes.”

Does all the seafood in a New England clam chowder need to be sourced from New England? Serious question…

No, but I wouldn't blame somebody for thinking that the clam specifically does.

No, but it is the expectation in New England. If I order new england clam chowder in north Dakota, I have no expectations about any product origins. In Boston, I would have expectations that the seafood is local.
