Crab fest

If you are a seafood lover like myself then go to the crab fest in Baltimore.  We spent the extra to get VIP seating under the tent and it was worth it.  Rain on the coast can be fickle so I wanted to ensure we had a table to eat, drink and be merry.  There were over 30 beers and a few spirits to sample.  Did I mention the crabs are all you can eat?  There were vendors and live music and plenty of time to fill your belly.  We opted for the 1st session which lasted 5 hours.

Fun fact:
Is it a boy or a girl?
Females and males have different aprons (males have an apron shaped like the Washington monument),  Also mature female crabs’ two claws are red and orange.

The official species name is Callinectes sapdius, which means beautiful savory swimmer.

Maryland law states that crabs caught from April 1^st to July 14^th must be 5 inches across (from point to point); crabs caught from July 15^th to Dec 15^th must be 5¼ inches across.
