Maryland is a crab state. The motto in Virginia is "Virginia is for lovers" while across the Potomac in Maryland it's "Maryland is for crabs," presumably in honor of the Maryland Blue Crab that thrives in good years in the Chesapeake Bay. Crab dishes that are not good are an insult to customers in this area.
