At the Costs Inn in Baltimore, chefs say that Maryland prepares seafood like nobody else.
“We steam, it’s live-steamed,” Pete Triantafilos, of the Costs Inn, told CBS Baltimore. “We steam with seasoning and it’s just that Baltimore tradition that is not done anywhere else.”
Although crab season is from April to November, you can find crab all year-round at the Deck Crab House in Edgewood, Baltimore.
The Deck Crab House is one of the dozens of family-owned businesses that people can discover on the new virtual trail.
