Other than steamed crabs – of course – we also like good fresh made crab cakes (or crabcakes) and some steamed shrimp and some corn on the cob. We like the steamed shrimp with steamed onions all done in Old Bay (or similar) seasoning. All of this needs to be washed down by an ice cold beer or a fountain coke in a tall cup filled with ice.

Baltimore Summer means Steamed Crabs and Cold Beer and Corn on the Cob

For the non-seafood lover (who may be) in the group, there are usually an assortment of “other” foods. These usually include french fries and onion rings to go with the seafood. You will also find a hamburger or cheeseburger and maybe even a steak sub.
