Last Saturday, our friends had a crab party. The crabs were caught right off their dock -- talk about fresh local seafood! Tables were set on their beautiful porch with none other than the Crab Guy's crab boards.
Everyone enjoyed having a hard surface on which to crack open the blue claws and loved the mallets that accompany the crab boards.
We started off with delicious shrimp chowder that everyone devoured. The main event was steamed crabs, spiced with Chesapeake Bay seasoning and served with apple cider vinegar in cups for dipping. Although our hostess provided lots of side dishes, the crabs kind of stole everyone's attention.
I provided the dessert, a lovely Pear Frangipane Tart -- there were no leftovers. The evening ended all too soon, and we're all thinking about the next crab party.
Wouldn't you like to have a set of crab boards for your next crab party? They would make wonderful Christmas or birthday gifts, too. You can order them at thecrabguy.blogspot.com.

I'm hosting a big crab feast in a few weeks and would love to know where you got the table coverings. Can you post info about them?
Hi Anonymous, My hubby ordered the crab paper online several years ago. He doesn't remember the details, and I wasn't involved. Good luck!
I know your party was so many years back, but did you end up finding that paper. I am on the search for some now

Hi, Holli. My hubby ordered the paper several years ago and doesn’t remember the details. I wasn’t involved. Good luck.
