A true Marylander knows a crabcake, but did you know that the crabmeat you are eating could have been imported from as far away as Asia?   Maryland Department of Natural Resources has launched a new program to make it easier to tell where your crabmeat came from, and to identify it as "true blue" Maryland crab meat.   This is important for local industry, but it is also an important part of a larger discussion on sustainable seafood. Knowing where food comes from can help us all make better decisions about what we eat, for our health and the health of our planet.
