Ladies, the Maryland crab is just the Atlantic blue crab, the same
critter we catch along the Gulf Coast. Probably the best crab you can
eat but a PITA to clean unless you've been doing it all your life. My
lovely wife grew up ten feet from salt water in Maryland and we courted
by taking her dad's boat out crabbing. <G>

Probably more crab and oysters come from Louisiana and Texas than they
catch in Maryland nowadays as the Chesapeake Bay is still terribly polluted.
