Listen "Maryland Crab Stew"
Episode Synopsis
Join us on a nostalgic journey to the sun-baked shores of the Chesapeake Bay, where memories of summers past come alive with each taste of Maryland Crab Stew. Inspired by lazy days spent 'sittin' on the dock of the bay, watching the crabs roll away,' Tony and his siblings would venture to a nearby inlet, eager to 'catch a mess of crabs, hon.' Seafood, especially the delicate flavor of crab, demands a delicate touch. It's an orchestration of Old Bay proportions to transform these sea creatures into a pot of pure deliciousness. Discover the nuances between blue crabs and blue swimming crabs, and experience the tantalizing aroma of crab, cream, corn, scallops, shrimp, and a blend of Old Bay spices, accentuated by the freshness of tarragon. Learn the art of identifying male from female crabs, and why it's essential to throw females back into the water. With expert tips on cleaning and enjoying this Maryland delicacy, you'll be transported to the bay's edge, where the buzz of crickets mingles with the warmth of a summer breeze with each spoonful. Perfect for summer or winter, this stew has the power to warm even the furthest, most neglected reaches of your heart. Tune in and let the flavors of Maryland Crab Stew ignite your senses and stir fond memories of days gone by.
