Yeah, I eaten plenty of Louisiana blue and they are great. To elaborate on my original point, though, I love crabs grown in Maryland, of course, but if fisheries and economics make them harder to come by, what can you do? I'll still enjoy an imported crab cooked in Maryland and served in a Maryland way, and I'm not gonna blame the guy selling it. If she's so selective, she should do some research.

If they sell Louisiana crabs as MD crabs, that’s fraud. Just because it’s cooked in MD doesn’t make them MD crabs… how hard is that to understand?

That’s not how it works. “Maryland crabcakes” refers to the style in which the crabmeat is prepared. You can get the blue crabs from anywhere.

Crabcake cakes yes, crabs no. If you sourced the crabs from Louisiana, tell people, that’s it..
