Ghetto - Check out this site:
Harris Crab House Home Page
One of the better places to get crabs in MD, and they ship.
I make a pretty killer seven layer dip.
1st layer - 1 can of refried beans that has been mixed with a packet of taco seasoning
2nd layer - 8oz Cream cheese and 8 oz sour cream mixed. Since I love cilantro, I add some here.
3rd layer - Salsa (I usually use a jar of Pace Think and Chunky Medium)
4th layer - Green Pepper
5th layer - A good mix of onions and green onions
6th layer - lettuce
7th layer - shredded cheese (i recommend one of the Mexican blends)
And garnish with either black olives, jalapenos or both.
AMD - yes, there are Louisiana Gulf Blue Crabs...the places that serve crabs year round here get them in the winter. They are good, but not the same. They aren't as sweet as a MD Blue.
