Crabbing has long been associated with the Delaware and Maryland beaches.

Many vacation memories have been made crabbing from a boat, a pier or a mud bank trying to tempt the famous Blue Crab into a net with a chicken neck or fish head on the end of a string.

Always, whether the crabs have been caught by hand or bought at a local restaurant, the goal is the same -- a table covered with newspapers and hot, spicy steamed crabs.

These pages will teach you a little about the fine art of crabbing and offer a couple of recipes for cooking this local delicacy.
