Fresh Blue Crabs in Crisfield

Crisfield calls itself the Crab Capital of the World — and with good reason. This small Somerset County city at the tip of the Eastern Shore was built literally on crab shells, filling in the marsh with the discarded husks of millions of crabs processed here over generations. Tangier Sound, just offshore, is among the most productive crabbing grounds in the entire Chesapeake Bay system. Crisfield is as close to the source as it gets.
