Four methods of catching blue crabs (pots/traps, handlines, drop nets and nighttime netting), followed by the age-old steam vs. boil dispute (not solved) and a whole bunch of recipes, including a martini and what I humbly think is the best crab cake recipe around.

Recipes included in video:

Boiled Crabs

Steamed Crabs

Crab Cakes

Grilled Sausage-Stuffed Crabs

Crab Esquites

Maryland Martini
