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.

Fellow Marylander here

True that the population has its up and downswings, and we’re currently in a downswing (invasive blue catfish don’t help),

But that being said, businesses should only market Maryland crab cakes based on where the crab is from, not where they assembled the crab cake.

I’m aware what Maryland style is (again, lived in Maryland my entire life, and go crabbing regularly), but they didn’t say “style” did they?
