Several years ago when in Baltimore visiting my parents I arranged to take about 35 crab cakes back to NC. I was the lead engineer for traffic management at the North Carolina Motor Speedway ("The Rock") and wanted to give my crews a Baltimore taste treat. Well when I picked up the cakes from a restaurant in Pikesville MD, the owner told me this is some well traveled crab meat. Seems it was flown in that morning from Gulf Shoals (Shores?) Alabama and it was going on a road trip back south for another 500 miles to NC. Everyone really enjoyed the cakes and wanted me to do the same for the next event. The NCSHP Captain had the last one and just loved it.

Moral of the story is who really knows where their crabs came from!
