This is Maryland Crab Soup, seem familiar? Yeah, I got it at King's Contrivance when I went with AJ a few weeks back. Um, well, both were really salty (I think I just like light foods compared to American stuff) but I like the concept. LOL. But honestly, I liked the one at King's Contrivance a bit more. I could taste the crab, here I just tasted seafood, but I couldn't taste the crab. The one at KC also had less broth and more substance. I had to drink 2/3 of the broth to get this picture...
We got one lobster tail to split. Um, I can remember the last time I had lobster tail. Actually, I can, but I remember it being really soft and tender. Well this was very very very tough and chewy. At least for seafood. I think it was a tad overcooked. It was lightly sprinkled with Old Bay so there wasn't much taste to it. The yellow thing is melted butter. It actually tasted good with a bit of butter, but the butter got gross when it cooled. Ugh.
Then it was on to steamed shrimps. One pound of the jumbo shrimps gave us 16 of them. A nice split of 8, however I ended eating 9 bigs ones since E was stuffed at 6...there was a tiny shrimp that she managed to put down. It was shrimp...and messy since you have to use your hands to peel the shell. A bit TOO much Old Bay as you can see...I wish it were hot chili powder...haha. And of course melted butter. I never knew this was how Americans eat seafood! I knew the Old Bay, but not the butter...
I enjoyed the experience, the food was fresh, however a tad on the expensive end for something that is SOOOO easy to make. That and I don't like Old Bay tat much. I'd much rather have garlic, spring onions, ginger and soy sauce! Some rice would be great too. Actually, saute would be awesome too....gee, I'm hungry now....
Total Price: 3.95 + 3.95 + 14.95 + 18.95 + 2 drinks + tax = approx $46
I'm not sure what the price breakdown actually is, but the total was $46 or so. The shrimp and lobster should be correct though or off by a dollar.
