The tiny island town of Tylerton in the Chesapeake Bay is sinking because of rising sea levels and erosion. But the women of the Smith Island Crab Meat Cooperative sing gospel hymns as they pick crabs on the island, and say they are sustained by a seawall of faith.

It’s The Midday Crab Show, with self-described Food Nerd Henry Hong, Baltimore City Paper contributor and chef at Suzi's Soba downtown, and John Shields, chef and owner of Gertrude’s Restaurant at the Baltimore Museum Art. Steamed crabs, crab cakes, crab dip, crab soup, crab fluff - we explore everything you can do with Maryland’s gift to gastronomy.
