Get ready for Labor Day weekend with this East Coast favorite. While growing up in Maryland, our Labor Day picnic was a seafood feast. The picnic table was covered in newspaper. Maryland blue fin crabs were steamed in Old Bay seasoning and put on a platter in the center of the table. Old Bay seasoning is a mix of celery salt, paprika, and black and red pepper, and is most commonly used on seafood. Cole slaw and buttered sweet corn were the sides, not to mention a pitcher of ice-cold beer!
With the abundance of fresh, local produce available in August here is a recipe given to me by a friend that’s sure to be a favorite, especially using fresh corn and tomatoes from a nearby farmer’s market! This takes just 15 minutes to make — and it’s delicious!
There’s no better way to enjoy the warm weather than dining with family and friends on a deck by the water. These area eateries offer a casual, waterfront experience.
