It was an ordinary day. Found myself sitting on the rear deck of Waterman's Crab House in Rock Hall, MD having a crabcake sandwich, fries and a bowl of cream of crab soup. Our friends from State College, PA, Jerry and Just Sue, made a weekend visit to our home in Lancaster and we all decided that we hadn't made a trip to Rock Hall for quite a few years so today would be a great time to take that trip. Rock Hall is known as the "Pearl of the Chesapeake."
The water- front town was founded in 1707 and at first was a tobacco port which was visited many times by George Washington as he traveled from Virginia to points in the north. Today the town is best known for it's fishing and seafood industry with Maryland blue crabs, oysters and rockfish as some of it's major offerings.
This moment is located along the waterfront in Rock Hall. |

A Pirate made a visit to our table to make sure that we were behaving ourselves. |
A friend at the table next to us displays his blue crab. |
Removing the plate on the bottom of the crab. |
Cleaning the lungs and the innards from the crab. |
The results you can eat. I find it so much easier to order my crabs as a sandwich so I don't have to go through all of this. |
As they finish another dozen arrive at their table. |
This one seems to be trying to escape. |
