About This Item

Crusty Crustacean

In 1989, the Maryland Blue Crab (Callinectes sapidus Rathbun) was designated the State Crustacean. Its name honors Mary Jane Rathbun (1860-1943), the scientist who described the species in 1896.

The blue crab's scientific name translates as "beautiful swimmer that is savory." Blue crab meat sometimes is compared to the sweetness of lobster meat; the flavor best appreciated by cracking and eating steamed hardshells or feasting on softshells. Crab is prepared in restaurant and home kitchens in innumerable ways, steamed or sauteed, as Maryland Crab Cakes and Crab Imperial, or in crab soup and crab dip.

Since it is doubtful that we'll be able to add a state we thought we'd upload a map of the states Crusty has visited.

  • Crusty has been to these states.

I see that Crabby has not yet been to California and since we are headed there in mid January I shall offer this crusty critter a lift in our trusty travel bug Lucy Zoom. A travel bug giving a travel bug a ride. Cool.

My 2-and-a-half-year-old son grabbed this one. "Crabs live in sand," he pronounced solemnly, looking at the attached postcard and giving the crab a squeak. Gonna move it along.
