Crab & rice Maryland

Summary

Description

Crabs are cooked in a myriad of ways, boiled, baked or fried in bacon drippings, as in this recipe. Crab Maryland style is just crab meat with a little onion and celery sautéed in bacon drippings, tossed with crumbled bacon and rice. All I can say is "Try this!"

Notes

Get a live crab and cook it in plenty of boiling salted water or order a crab already cooked from the fish counter at the grocery store. Picke the meat, including the claws, and discard the shell.

If you use canned crabe meat, don't forget to check for shell pieces as they get sometimes mixed with the lumps of meat.

Remarkable

The Chesapeake bay is the source for most of Maryland's food products. Clams, oysters and, of course, crabs are fished from its waters and prepared traditional and novelty ways.
