This walking journey traces the Chesapeake blue crab from morning fish auctions and refugee spice grinders to waterfront shipyards, corner taprooms, and industrial canning lines. Discover how a German-Jewish refugee fleeing Nazi Germany invented Old Bay seasoning, how Black maritime caulkers financed their own docks, and why the messy, mallet-cracking feast on brown paper became the heartbeat of Charm City.
