Default Steamed Blue Crab

Found a great restaurant where they have fresh steamed blue crab. It is in Crystal River. The name of the restaurant is Peck's Old Port Cove. They have a blue crab farm where they get there crabs. Outstanding seafood. Right on the Gulf. About an hour, but well worth it.

Default Blue Crabs

They had all you can eat steamed crabs for $28.95 all you can eat. They looked just like the crabs you would get in the land of pleasant living. The seafood platter was excellent $16.95, comes with slaw, fries and hush puppies.

If we can get blue crab a la Maryland, these ex-Marylanders will indeed believe we are moving to lower Paradise!
