I grew up on a small creek on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. My sister and I would spend many hours almost every summer day on a neighbor's dock crabbing with fish heads or chicken necks tied to a string. Sound gross? Maybe it was, but we had the best time!
A typical meal would be garden sliced tomatoes with a little salt, some cucumbers and onion marinated in vinegar and sugar, steamed corn, cantaloupe and steamed crabs. Summer on the Shore was great.
My mom made a fabulous crab dip and I still make it when I can. Here's the recipe:
1 lb crab meat
2 cream cheese blocks
8 oz sour cream
4 tbsp mayo
1 tsp lemon juice
2-3 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp dry mustard
3 shakes garlic
1 c. grated cheddar cheese
topping:
1/4 c grated cheddar cheese
paprika (or, we use old bay instead!)
Mix the main ingredients to spreading consistency. Sprinkle 1/4 c cheese on top. Sprinkle with paprika or old bay. Bake 325 for 30 minutes.
