I wanted to try this before going through the trouble of making a bread bowl. I tend to compare all Maryland crab recipes to my family's recipes ( 4 generations lived on the eastern shore year round )and to my friends who still live there. This recipe is good in comparison , but does not hit home. I will keep it around as an alternative recipe. Thanks for posting.
