If you want to learn more about Maryland's most iconic seafood - Crab Meat - check out my new video where I head to Dorchester County into the heart of the Maryland crab picking industry, to share the real story behind the crab meat.
I interviewed the owners of J.M. Clayton Company and Rippons Brothers Seafood about how crab picking houses have changed over the last 50 years and the struggles the industry faces today:
- Rising operating costs
- Labor shortages
- Competition from cheaper imported crab meat flooding the market, often mislabeled as local crab meat.
