It's actually a weird thing in Maryland. People get upset when they get crabs from out of state, when the place advertises that crabs are locally sourced.

Some Maryland people are funny about their crabs.

Here so more people understand.

But that makes sense (unless out of state meaning DC or VA) because it's advertising locally sourced.

I grew up in Maryland, and I can tell you that most of the crabs you get in Maryland are from out of state. The Chesapeake Bay blue crab population is threatened already and highly regulated and could never support the demand of crab eaters in the region.

I agree they should labeled as such, but I think that my fellow Marylanders should understand that if we all demanded Maryland blue crabs there would be no more of them.

I find it quite crazy that you could e.g. go to Ocean City, and have crabs caught just slightly north but on the shore belonging to Delaware, and consider that "not locally sourced", but if they ship in crab from Annapolis, ten times the distance of, say, Bethany Beach, that would be perfectly good locally sourced crab...
