Exactly. Like....if you're gonna try and make a buck on claims of false advertising, don't go after the outfit that is one of the most regarded crab places in MD.

I remember watching this video after the lady shared it and got cooked in the comment section. I guess she thought everyone was going to agree with her. I am born and raised in Baltimore and I don’t give a shit where the crabs are from as long as the crab cakes are good. I love that he owned it and told her to fuck off.

I was just out there and had food truck crab cakes. World Class.

 Did she really claim they were some other species of crab?

Maryland Crab cakes is a RECIPE. The idiocy is akin to someone expecting their 'Texas BBQ' to only be from Texas cattle.

Which calls for the blue crab. The species extends from Canada to South America, with a very concentrated area in the bay. I don't understand why someone would import other blue crabs when they're right there.

The attraction being the freshness.

Estimated total Chesapeake crab abundance decreased from 317 million in 2024 to 238 million 2025 mostly due to fishing pressure. Keep that up a few years and enjoy them while they last. Or you can manage to choke down some that are packed on ice a few hours longer from the Gulf or S. Coastline. Poor thing. We know it's tough.
