It is a Maryland tradition. Everyone sits around a table covered with butcher paper, mounds of steamed crab is brought to the table, then you pick them apart and eat them. You dump the shell in the middle of the table. Every so often the mess is picked up by the wait staff while more crab is dumped onto the tray. It is the messiest meal in the world. Beer is the beverage of choice. It is a tradition of long standing, except now the crab is not plentiful, therefore expensive, so today we ordered the crab by the dozen, and many people did not even eat crab. I saw people eating shrimp, chicken and even fish. It was all good.
Prosperity Mortgage Co, took the agents out to lunch to pick crab. We took a bus to Kent Island on the east side of the Chesapeake Bay and enjoyed being taken out for lunch. It was so unexpected that the agents and the Managers were thrilled. Harris was the name of the establishment and the good thing was it was an hour's drive away so many agents drove in their own cars. We left the office at 10:30 and we were home by 3:30, all with a smile on our faces. It was fun and festive, a reward for long term good behaviour I guess. The agents have been the number one office in Long and Foster for twenty years. What a tradition. We gave a big hug to Bob and Jeff and Joyce who took us to the Harris Crab Shack for lunch. It was delicious.
