I have been blessed to be surrounded by family members living in the Greater Hampton Roads Virginia and Northeastern Maryland regions of the United States. These family members have passed down from generation to generation the popular steps in preparing blue crabs for large groups of family and friends.

Many of my family members come together on special occasions and enjoy blue crabs cooked with other ingredients that make up a country boil.
