Our next door neighbors, The Matheses have a beach house at Colonial Beach VA which is abour an hour and a half away. Every year they have a party there and have invited us to go for the last 5 years. We have never been able to go but this year we could. They had a lot of good food but we got to do something we have never really done before. We got to sit around butcher-covered paper tables and eat steamed and seasoned crabs that arrived in a cardboard box. Apparently this is something lots of people like doing and somehow we have never done it. After getting a short lesson from a pro - we were on our way to enjoying some delicious crabs. They are a bit of a pain to get at but once you do, the meat is good and from what we have been told, sitting around at a crab feast is more about the conversation and less about filling up on crab. The whole thing was a bit barabric (cracking the shells open with hammers and knives) but a lot of fun!
