With summer almost here its about time to start thinking about fun seasonal foods. And for the still fine folks at the various Mermaid Inns that means the return of their weekly Old-Fashioned Crab Boil—which brings Maryland blue crabs, corn bread, potatoes and grilled corn to your table every summer Tuesday for a mere $24. But wait, you still get intimidated by breaking down crabs with your hands and a mallet? Let this adorable little boy (as well as a grownup) teach you what's what.
Sadly, there is no assurance that this wee one will be around to help you when you show up, so study carefully. Mermaid Inn's crab boil is available at all of its locations every Tuesday while supplies last.
