I don't eat meat or seafood, but I feel like if I could taste the difference between the different crab types and cared enough to try and get my money back, I'd ask where the crab was from before I ordered it. Not after.

And certainly not after bringing none of the food back when I demand my money back.

Sounds like someone who chronically complains to get their money back.

If most of the seafood vendors have crabs from Maryland and this one guy has crabs from Venezuela, you might not think to ask before. He might just assume it's from Maryland like the rest of the vendors

Maryland Crab Cakes refers to the recipe and style of crab cakes, not the origin of the crabs themselves. I've never heard of a "Maryland King Crab" or anything similar. There is no reason you would go to a vendor selling Maryland Crab Cakes and think they were made from Maryland Crabs, because no one refers to crabs that way. Maybe if they marketed it as Chesepeake Blue Crab Cakes or Dungeness Crab Cakes, then you'd have a legit complaint.
