CHEF’S TIP: By Eric Lamphere
As always, it is important to use quality, seasonal ingredients. Vegetables grow at a certain time of year for a reason. During summer, corn is sweeter and just simply tastes better, which will complement your crabmeat perfectly. As for pasteurized crabmeat, the quality is much lower than fresh. The pasteurization process of crab gives off a slight metallic flavor. Besides, you are in Maryland ... why not use fresh?!?! And for the freshest local produce around, be sure to visit Mr. Harry at Wimbrow Farms on Route 589 and Route 611. Joshua Wilder will be on hand to help you all summer long at their Route 611 stand.
