I was a military child and was born and raised in Columbia SC my parents and whole family are from Baltimore MD so I am blessed yes blessed that I grew up eating seafood the right way because of course I have tasted southern style seafood and they do boil instead of steam and there is a big difference. The way that you stated how to cook these cerab legs is the same way my family cook theirs. To help with the steam of the crab legs my dad and mom adds the newspaper in the pot just to help with the steaming. I give this a 100 Oh I love love, love my Maryland style seafood.

I was brought up by a father who is Spanish Italian and loves to Cook... I started cooking at age 12, but was observing both my Nana and my Nona (both Grandmothers) since I was about 8. I love to cook seafood, meat, stove top or grilling... just don't ask me to bake!!! I cook at home and my wife does the clean up, a deal we made when we married... and it works for both...
