The Maryland Blue Crab

The Sun's Rob Kasper joins Jeff tonight for a discussion on the Maryland Blue Crab, a Chesapeake Bay delicacy. Join Jeff and Rob for a look at the traditions, techniques and accoutrements for cracking open the Callinectes sapidus. Then tune in tonight at 9:00pm for MPT's "Eatin' Crabs Chesapeake Style!" Maryland Public Television has roamed the state in search of the greatest stories of the blue crab and tells all in "Eatin' Crabs Chesapeake Style", MPT's rollicking foray into the world of the blue crab from dockside to table. From Baltimore's busiest harborside districts and most famed crab shacks to beloved and isolated locales from Ocean City to Oakland, "Eatin' Crabs Chesapeake Style captures the world of crab-loving, a uniquely Maryland slice of life, and cracks it open for all to see.
