I admit it. I love steamed crabs. I actually love anything crab. Which is perhaps why I can’t decide which of the 5 crab frameweights is my favorite.
Since I love crabs, Old Bay Seasoning is a very important part of my world. I grew up on this stuff. If it’s not available in your part of the world you really need to find some.

It comes packaged in a metal can just like pepper – so it’s square.

So is Louisiana – and I have a daughter-in-law from Baton Rouge (they are in Tallahassee now). I need to do this for her. My son swears all she knows how to cook is etouffe’ The “crab boil” box is also rather decorative. In Austin, I do Blue Bell Ice Cream cartons for needlepointers.
