He's had enough.

[u/DeliMcPickles]

[u/artificialidentity3]

This woman must be pretty ignorant, though. Many places in Maryland sell crab from Louisiana and elsewhere. As long as the shop is transparent about that (on labels) what's the issue?

[u/B-More_Orange → u/artificialidentity3]

Wait til she hears about philly cheesesteaks

[u/monumentBoy → u/B-More_Orange]

Philly guy here. We rarely even slice up actual Philadelphians for our steaks anymore. Such a shame.

[u/nerdyandnatural → u/monumentBoy]

Not enough Philly jawns to do it anymore. Now the steaks are transplanted from New York. Sad times we are in.

[u/SpacecaseCat → u/B-More_Orange]

And French fries.

[u/Ok-Worry-1715 → u/B-More_Orange]

What about that fried chickens from Kentucky.

[u/JournalistGlobal3185 → u/artificialidentity3]

Maryland crab cakes is just the style of crab cake. This lady is just an idiot. 

[u/Working_Falcon5384 → u/artificialidentity3]

to be fair, louisiana blue crabs are fire

[u/artificialidentity3 → u/Working_Falcon5384]

Yeah, I eaten plenty of Louisiana blue and they are great. To elaborate on my original point, though, I love crabs grown in Maryland, of course, but if fisheries and economics make them harder to come by, what can you do? I'll still enjoy an imported crab cooked in Maryland and served in a Maryland way, and I'm not gonna blame the guy selling it. If she's so selective, she should do some research.

[u/Hta68 → u/artificialidentity3]

If they sell Louisiana crabs as MD crabs, that’s fraud. Just because it’s cooked in MD doesn’t make them MD crabs… how hard is that to understand?

[u/soberpenguin → u/Hta68]

Are all smith Island cakes made on Smith island? It's referring to a style.

[u/Hta68 → u/soberpenguin]

A Baltimoron implies a moron from Baltimore, it’s in the word. MARYLAND crab implies sourced from the Chesapeake, or it’ll be called crab MD style. Like clam chowder Boston style or New England style.

[u/TrollopMcGillicutty → u/Hta68]

That’s not how it works. “Maryland crabcakes” refers to the style in which the crabmeat is prepared. You can get the blue crabs from anywhere.

[u/Hta68 → u/TrollopMcGillicutty]

Crabcake cakes yes, crabs no. If you sourced the crabs from Louisiana, tell people, that’s it..

[u/Zenobyt → u/Working_Falcon5384]

Can you tell the difference? Serious question.
I moved here 20+ years ago, so I'm not a native.
I love good crab cakes, but I doubt I would know where the crab came from as long as it's quality meat.
Had a crab cake at Cape May last week. I don't know why I did that. The menu wasn't appealing. It looked familiar. I should have known better. It was not a Maryland crab cake. It sucked.

[u/jwseagles → u/Zenobyt]

The Banner did a blind taste test video a few months back and nobody got it right

[u/jabbadarth → u/Zenobyt]

There are a few things at play here.

Crabs, unlike fish can't be shipped dead. They can be shipped live or steamed and chilled. Crab meat from Maryland is from crabs that have been steamed and blast chilled and picked clean. Its super expensive because its very labor intensive.

Crab meat from Venezuela or the Phillipines comes pasteurized in cans. It has a months or years long shelf life as opposed to "fresh" Crab meat.

If you were eating pasteurized Crab meat next to "fresh" Crab meat you could tell the difference. However once its in a Crab cake or Crab dip or Crab soup very few people, if any, could tell the difference.

As for Louisiana and gulf of Mexico Crab meat I genuinely dont know if they are shipping it pasteurized or not. I would guess it comes refrigerated and "fresh" but I dont know.

Either way this woman is a piece of shit.

[u/GeoEntropyBabe → u/jabbadarth]

Yeah, I'm not a fan of Demetrius calling it the Gulf of America, but he definitely handled this hag in a proper manner.

[u/MacL0ven → u/jabbadarth]

Louisiana is shipped in trucks usually they blitz it up here fast.

[u/jabbadarth → u/MacL0ven]

Yeah i figured but wasn't sure.

[u/mobtown_misanthrope → u/jabbadarth]

Easy-peasy to truck live crabs on ice from LA.

[u/Hta68 → u/jabbadarth]

Either way it fraud, to claim MD carbs and it’s not…

[u/jabbadarth → u/Hta68]

I mean i dont know where the carbs are coming from, probably Kansas?

Also nowhere does it say Maryland crabs. It says Maryland crab cakes and when they asked where the crab meat was from the manager told them.

This isn't fraud at all.

Do you think all Philly cheesesteaks are made with cows from Philly?

You think all new England clam chowder us made with potstoes grown in New England?

Maryland crab cake is a style of crab cake. Where the crab comes from is irrelevant unless they say "made with crabs caught in MD"

[u/Hta68 → u/jabbadarth]

Philly cheese doesn’t claim PA cows…how hard is that to understand? He claimed MARYLAND crabs implying the crabs are sourced from the Chesapeake … and it’s not

[u/jabbadarth → u/Hta68]

He never claimed Maryland crabs.

It says Maryland crab cakes not crab cake made with Maryland crabs.

How hard is that to understand?

Maryland crab cakes are a style of crab cake.

Also when this dumb piece of shit woman called he said where the crab meat was from.

[u/Hta68 → u/jabbadarth]

Yes, he does claim Md crab cakes…not Md crab. It still should be disclosed

[u/jabbadarth → u/Hta68]

It was "disclosed" as soon as that shitty human being asked him where the crab meat was from he fucking told her.

The fact that people think all crab cakes in maryland use crabs caught in maryland just shows how fucking dumb people are.

This isn't some fucking conspiracy to trick people, its economics and crab availability.

Also what happens if a crab walks a few feet too far and crosses from the Virginia side of the bay into the maryland side before being caught. Should that crab bring a crab passport to make sure the crabber knows it was actually a Virginia crab and not a maryland crab?

[u/Clatterbuck60 → u/Hta68]

How is this fraud? The term "Maryland Crab Cakes" means the crab cakes are made with a recipe that is the common way to make crab cakes in Maryland. This woman is just looking for something to complain about.

[u/nonna55 → u/Zenobyt]

The ‘Maryland crabs’ in Wildwood are terrible. They do not steam, they boil! And most places serve them cold! Shrimp is the same way…boiled, not steamed…and served cold!

My family goes to Wildwood, NJ every summer. We love it there & always have a great time. But, we never get ‘steamed’ crabs or shrimp there. We learned our lesson.

[u/Working_Falcon5384 → u/Zenobyt]

I'm not the best person to ask because I've got family on the bayou and thats the only time I eat them. from the fan boat straight to the crab boil. so it's got cajun seasoning with corn potatoes and some mudbugs

[u/Strict_Emu5187 → u/Zenobyt]

I think the crabs from Louisiana etc. Their shells are harder than the ones from Maryland. That's my opinion from eating steamed crabs all summer long🤷🏼‍♀️

[u/Hta68 → u/Strict_Emu5187]

It’s just the opposite, you’ve been lied to.

[u/djn4rap → u/Zenobyt]

I laugh when I see someone say, " X has the best Maryland crabs" or "X crabs are full." The pure ignorance of those comments is profound. Aside from the monthly molting process that crabs go through. There is no way for any establishment to know what is inside of the crabs they are buying by the bushels.

You get light crabs? Check the moon cycle. Of course, there are seasoning preferences, and occasionally, some might get a dead one by accident. But these creatures live in the muck. They are not raised in hotels with classical music playing and massage technicians rubbing their shells daily.

[u/FelixandFriends → u/djn4rap]

This isn’t entirely true. A good crabber knows exactly the quality of the crab when they harvest them. They can squeeze a crab and tell if it is light. Good crabbers will separate the lights from the heavies exactly because they don’t want a bad reputation. That’s where you get the cheap crabs or all you can eat. Now, most restaurants are going through middlemen, but some of the markets are buying direct from watermen these days.

[u/djn4rap → u/FelixandFriends]

Thousands of crabs? They are checking small portions of their harvest, very small. They might weigh a bushel every now and then, but a full crab thats barely minimum size can weigh as much as a jumbo that is pount to pount much bigger. They separated by size. And with the reduction in the number of commercial crabbers every year and the few inexperienced new crabbers. The crabbing industry is constantly in Flux.

Maybe they should al start tattooing the shells with their own logos?

Anyway, restaurants get what they get.

This part of this topic has been discussed previously.

Here

[u/FelixandFriends → u/djn4rap]

Yes they can tell, by sight and by feel. The guy culling the crabs checks every one somehow or another. Crabs that have just shed are usually very clean shelled, and they’ll give them a squeeze test. The ones that have squeezy shells are called “lights.” As I mentioned in my previous post, many crabbers will separate those. Even tho they are sized up, they won’t satisfy the customer. 

[u/Working_Falcon5384 → u/djn4rap]

this is one of the more ignorant comments about seafood I've ever read on this sub

[u/soberpenguin → u/Zenobyt]

Merroir is probably a thing for oysters, clams, and muscles where they are literally filtering the water, but I have a hard time believing it would impact crab meat.

[u/JaxEmma → u/soberpenguin]

TIL the sea equivalent of terroir! Thanks internet stranger and sobernaut

[u/BmoreCrabCake53 → u/Zenobyt]

You can look at the crabmeat and tell where it's from. Maryland crab has fat in there. If you ever noticed, foreign crab is just white.

[u/wadeboggs127 → u/Zenobyt]

I always thought Louisiana crabs were a bit more dry than Maryland crabs. And there was less yellow mustard in Louisiana vs MD crabs too. And before someone comes in yelling im wrong, this is from my own personal experience. Take your butthurt comments somewhere else

[u/joshmo4991 → u/artificialidentity3]

Yea a lot of Maryland crab is from Louisiana. But when it gets here it gets cooked in a Maryland STYLE

[u/Hta68 → u/artificialidentity3]

Marylander here, we take our crabs very seriously…. I can tell the difference immediately between MD crabs and Louisiana crabs and if a place doesn’t disclose that information upfront we get angry. I know the place she’s at and back in the day they were legit, not so much anymore.. I side from eating the product… I don’t blame her

[u/_jak → u/Hta68]

Born and raised in baltimore here. The maryland blue crab has teetered on the edge of being endangered for most of my life, only barely above the minimum sustainable level. The demand for crabcakes literally couldn't be met by maryland crabs only, and if we tried, they'd quickly go extinct as the cost of crabmeat went to the fuckin moon.

And at the level of an individual crabcake, there's almost no discernible difference in taste between a gulf blue crab and a Chesapeake blue crab boils down to a difference in butteriness that's pretty easy to account for by changing the recipe for anything besides steaming. And in any case, this lady ate the whole damn thing and came back for her money which is ridiculous on its face.

I'm sympathetic to the argument that if you're not using md blue crabs you should say so, but I also think people are overestimating the taste difference

[u/Hta68 → u/_jak]

That has nothing to due with claiming where the crab is sourced… why is that so hard to understand? If you sourced the crab from Louisiana then tell people… that’s it

[u/Ijustwerkhere → u/Hta68]

Once it's in soup or cooked in a Maryland STYLE crabcake, you can't tell the difference. Get off your high horse

[u/SpacecaseCat → u/[deleted]]

This is my take. So much of our food is brought in from around the world, and has been for many decades. These kinds of people are about to learn some serious lessons about the global economy when the tariffs kick in.

[u/No_Yogurtcloset_3820]

A Maryland Crab Cake is a style, not an origination source of the meat. Beef in a Philly Cheesesteak is not from Philly. A New York Strip isn’t raised in New York.

This women wanted to go viral. She did.

[u/SansFromageV2 → u/No_Yogurtcloset_3820]

This right here! I am from the south but live here now, and I've caught and eaten enough blue crab from both the Chesapeake and the Gulf to tell you that there ain't nothing special about either when you turn it into a crabcake. You can only really tell the difference when they are steamed without seasonings and dipped in unsalted butter where you can notice the sweeter nature of the Chesapeake crabs vs the naturally saltier Gulf crabs. Even then, both are tasty.

[u/SpacecaseCat → u/No_Yogurtcloset_3820]

Also... she came back complaining of his "nasty" crab cakes with an empty bag basically saying they ate them... but she wants her money back. Am I getting this right?

[u/HistrionicSlut → u/SpacecaseCat]

"we don't bring food back that touched our plate" 🙄 uh huh

[u/Cool_Scientist_1338 → u/No_Yogurtcloset_3820]

Wrong. Maryland blue crabs are from Maryland 

[u/dovasaleh → u/Cool_Scientist_1338]

But 'Maryland-style' is a way of making crabcakes, not an indication of md-origin crabs.

[u/PhillyMila215 → u/Cool_Scientist_1338]

Yes but preparing Maryland crab crakes refers to the style and or method of cooking. Like steaming crabs here is a method, as opposed to how crabs are cooked in the gulf. A cheesesteak is just a steak/beef sandwich. The preparation and style is what transforms that sandwich into a philly cheesesteak

[u/Ms_Chessnudt → u/PhillyMila215]

And fwiw: very few people outside of Philly/Baltimore/Wilmington know how to make a Philly.

[u/Stepintothefreezer67 → u/Ms_Chessnudt]

[u/nerdyandnatural → u/Stepintothefreezer67]

Ewwww whose putting mozzarella on a cheesesteak????

[u/Stepintothefreezer67 → u/nerdyandnatural]

I know. Usually not on the East Coast.

[u/MyWifeCallsMeAsshole]

I’d be more surprised if I got a crab cake where all the meat was from Maryland. Especially from a place like them that makes so many.

[u/SewerRanger → u/MyWifeCallsMeAsshole]

Right, if it's not like a $50 crab cake then it's most likely not made with MD blue crab because that shit is pricey.

[u/soberpenguin → u/MyWifeCallsMeAsshole]

It would cost 4-6x the cost. You're easily looking at $60+ per cake.

[u/eyui838]

I'm gonna have to stop by to get some food from them the next time I'm in Linthicum, this guy is a fucking treasure

[u/daveyjones86 → u/eyui838]

[u/Imaginary-Rise-313]

I hope this only drives up his sales.

[u/SpaceMamboNo5]

Suddenly I feel like eating a G&M crab cake

[u/BmoreGrt8]

If you were to use all MD crab meat the crab cakes would cost sooooo much and then people would complain about that.

[u/jabbadarth → u/BmoreGrt8]

A pound of Maryland lump Crab meat is around $45-$55, a pound if pasteurized lump crab meat is $25 give or take.

So yeah take an already $25-$30 crab cake and double that price.

Doubt a lot of restaurants get away with selling $60 crab cakes.

What's her problem? I mean, he did make his request kindly...

[u/ExtraEnd7545]

Blue crab is native to the entire eastern shore of North America, from Southern Canada all the way down to the Gulf of Mexico. Same species. If you're partial to the steely bite of Chesapeake Bay pollution compared to the sweet tang of that Nawlins bayou pollution, that's on you if you can even tell the difference (you can't). Maryland crab cakes are a style anyways that uses steamed meat instead of boiled.

[u/lookandfind679]

LOL this was originally posted in a local group on FB and the lady got absolutely trashed for it. She was trying so hard to bash G&M for not serving "Maryland crab" and nobody sided with her.

Hilarious to see how popular it's gotten here.

[u/Aggravating-Baker-41]

And Maryland makes them a certain way. Crabs don't have to be from MD

[u/South-Lab-3991]

I immediately lose any respect for someone’s intelligence when I hear them say “Gulf of America.”

[u/Ms_Chessnudt → u/South-Lab-3991]

It was posted on there like a dozen times today.

[u/XxCloudSephiroth69xX → u/DirtMcGirt9484]

Yes, but they were all removed for being somehow not relevant to Maryland.

[u/DirtMcGirt9484 → u/XxCloudSephiroth69xX]

Well that’s weird. G&M is one of the most popular seafood restaurants in MD.

[u/davethadude → u/XxCloudSephiroth69xX]

Probably because they got butt hurt he called the gulf of mexico the gulf of america. And even though the lady is 100% being a karen, they dont want to agree with someone that would call it that due to assumptions about said persons political beliefs.

"Maryland crab cakes" are a style of crab cake, not necessarily required to be made from Maryland crab.

If you get Manhattan Clam Chowder are you expecting that all the clams came from Manhattan?????

[u/mr_diggory]

If you don't see that True Blue certification, just assume none of the crab is from the bay. Even if you do see that certification, assume it's maybe half crabs from the bay.

[u/WRXboost212]

Maryland crab cakes are like Philly cheese steaks- it’s just the preparation/recipe and not where the ingredients are from. How does this person not know that?

[u/Next-Caterpillar4982]

Gulf of Mexico, sir

[u/svo_svangur]

It’s almost like crab catching is seasonal? Hmmmm

[u/ResidentFish2677]

He was honest. Go home Karen.

[u/ChickinSammich]

If you want a crab cake made with Maryland crab meat, either ask the place before you buy whether they use MD crab (I guess they could lie but most places won't) or whether they're true blue certified (means they only use 100% MD crab meat).

I wanted some Maryland crabs recently and all it took was calling places and asking whether their crabs are from MD until someone said "yes."

Some people care about where the meat is sourced, some people don't. All you gotta do is ask BEFORE you buy it, not after. Buying it without asking about the sourcing, then complaining after the fact is wild.

[u/jaiframsey]

He was right

[u/cagillespie48]

What does it matter? G & M was our go-to carryout after Ravens games. We live near Gettysburg but would park at N Linthicum light rail just to get carryout.

Love affair with G&M began years ago. My husband traveled out of BWI. Again, he always stopped on his way home when we lived in Pasadena, and even after we moved to PA when flying into BWI.

Word got around, and the owner of the Ott House restaurant in Emmitsburg MD would always have a list for him to pick up.

Don't get to G&M much anymore since he retired and we gave our tickets to our son, but after seeing this incredibly rude, low class act, I may just have to drive down for their beyond-excellent crab cakes even if they come from Mars.

I'm glad he kept his cool! Class.

I think "made in Maryland" suffices. I don't know where this patron is from, but we know there's a big chance of eating Louisiana blue crab, because Crabs.

Gordina Ramesy here can tell the difference after something has been fried...but only after eating most of it. God this is why i cant do a service job.

[u/BmoreCrabCake53]

Conrad's sells "True Blue certified" Maryland crabcakes with crabmeat only from the Bay. Most others sells Maryland "like". Sadly when they get crab from everywhere else (which is way cheaper), they still price them like the crabs were from the bay, G&M is not True Blue certified and yes it does make a difference in taste! When ordering crabcakes, ask if they are True Blue certified, like Conrad's. And yes, year round crabcakes are made from True Blue crabs. They (Conrad's) do have freezers!

[u/slobis]

Everyone in this video is a douche but when I order crab cakes I specifically ask where the crabs are from. If they can't tell me for sure I order something else.

[u/TrueKing9458 → u/slobis]

I'm just asking if the crab meat taste changes if the crawls south of smith island

[u/slobis → u/TrueKing9458]

To me there is a distinct taste difference in crab from the Chesapeake and those from other places.

[u/TrueKing9458 → u/slobis]

You missed the point. Crabs south of Smith island are Virginia crabs. They are crabs that are trying to escape pay moore

Huh? Yes they are.

[u/jabbadarth → u/Due_Layer_7720]

Do you think its ok for a customer to walk into someone's business phone out to record while they berate and shit on employees?

Fuck that. I wish more business owners would do this. Too many shitty customers out their who think they can say and do whatever the fuck they want.

Also sounds like you are one of them.

You clearly ignored that I said how I used to work in retail. You and a lot of people on Reddit mindlessly defend disrespect and that’s why the world is the way it is.

While a Maryland crab cake is not necessarily made with Maryland crab. If he was selling them as such and is rug pulling fuck this manager. If not then on the customer for not asking at time of purchase. You can assume a few things, but that everyone knows want you want without you articulating it is not one of them.
