Smackdown: Maine lobster vs. Maryland crab
St. Michaels, Md.
Chatting about crab houses with a Marylander is like talking politics or religion: Opinions fly, but few minds are changed.
A draw at The Crab Claw Restaurant (410-745-2900; thecrabclaw.com ) off the Chesapeake Bay on the Miles River in the cute tourist town of St. Michaels is crab feasts — a proud Maryland tradition. "If he doesn't kick, we don't cook," proclaims a sign assuring crabs are fresh. They're steamed, then presented to be pounded with wooden mallets at paper-covered tables inside or on a deck overlooking the water. Discarded shells pile foot-high. Rolls of paper towels serve as napkins. Tour buses park. The Claw's so popular it doesn't need to accept credit cards.

"Too much work" for the amount of meat retrieved, says Stern, no longer a fan of cracking crabs. As for the Claw's crab cake, a secret family recipe that's won many awards? Fine but not divine on a recent day, served with cole slaw, fries and a packet of Kraft tartar sauce rather than homemade.
