"People want to celebrate the Fourth with crabs. They always have," said owner Gary Moree of Bay Island Seafood, which will have about 165 to 175 bushels of crabs on hand for the holiday, roughly 80 percent of them caught in Maryland at Hoopers Island, Crisfield and Tilghman Island. "Fourth of July every year is just fireworks, steamed crabs and cold beer. It goes with the holiday."
