What would I do for a tasty crab cake?
Travel a
long
straight
narrow
black
road...
17.8
miles
out
of
my
way -
Crab Capital of the World...so they say.
To make a visit to the self-proclaimed
Crab Capital of the World.
Fishing and Crabbing Ahead
Ummmm...but where's the crab?
Where are the fisherman?
Where are the boats?
Where are all those wonderful photo-ops I anticipated?
Just Looking
There wasn't a heck of a lot here...
except boarded-up ramshackle houses,
Section 8 housing,
and a mostly defunct Main Street.
Open for Business
(Sadly, the effects of Hurricane Sandy are still evident.)
Don't you love his name?
So, I snooped around,
snapped some photos
and got my crab cake elsewhere.

Crisfield has some serious marketing going on.
It got me in but I didn't spend a dime once there.
Mostly because I couldn't find a place to spend it.
Despite the depressed community,
they have a really nice public pier.
I'm just not sure the pier was worth the

These are great - making me long for summer on this chilly am!
Great post, Living in Maryland I have a few favorite crab cake spots. Love the photos. Happy Monday, enjoy your new week!
it was worth the drive, for you and for us... the flags are AMAZING.... and mothers favorite thing to do was crabbing, she used a chicken leg on a string and a scoop net and always came home with a big bucket of crab... she would have loved this place
Hi,
Looks like everyone had a good time. Sorry you didn't get and
Crab Cakes. Have a great day!
I haven't eaten good tasty crab cakes, Someday I will.

The flags are nice, but that's a long haul. There are a ton of these little towns along the bay, I'd love to visit every one. P.S. Crab cakes are pretty easy to make, just say'n.
Oh what a disappointment! At least you got some nice shots! I would love to taste a good American crab cake- sounds delish!
Oooh, my mouth is watering thinking about crab cakes now! :-) Great images of an interesting place!
awesome pictures
I really like that photo of the line of flags blowing in unison.
Oh dear. That is a shame.

Grat shots especially the flag one.
For someone who loves piers, it would be worth it for me.
That was quite a detour, sad that the community is suffering in that way
