Great looking Chow Zippy! Perfect looking plate. I’ll be down for leftovers in a few hours! Some quick questions: Did you do the crab cakes and hollandaise from scratch? I do hollondaise from the packet and believe it’s pretty good, but would like to try from scratch. I’ve never done crab cakes, but now that I live in VA, I feel obligated to try! Would appreciate a recommended recipe if you have one!

That’s an epic meal for sure. It would be hard to beat a thick ribeye and fresh crab cakes.

Jimmy is a new term to me.
When I lived in Puget Sound it was only male and get out the shell gauge to keep it legal.
The females went back in the water.
Is there a east coast limit on female?

Excellent surf and turf. Not an asparagus fan, but hollandaise is a favorite sauce for me.
I would drizzle over the crab cake & steak.

Great lookin' grub! Nothing beats the freshness of seafood you catch or otherwise harvest personally.

Jimmy's is a new term to me. Growing up along the South Texas Cosstal Bend in Corpus Christi, I spent many an evening as a youngster with chicken necks & blue crabs but I was never culinarily adventurous enough to make crab cakes - we just boiled 'em with appropriate seeasonings and ate 'em along with what became to popularly be called u-peel-em shrimp.

Nice meal for sure. Been years since we picked freshly steamed Crabs...JJ

Zippy, picking out blue crabs is a lot of work, but the prize earned at the end is phenomenal. Can't beat fresh crab cakes. The steak look great, as well...

jcam222 Thanks

Mr. Zorg Thanks

I was stationed in Maryland in the late 80's and oh boy did this michigan kid take to blue crabs with a vengeance. That's where I learned the term Jimmies. Back then a bushel of No. 1's was about $20 if I recall correctly, but they were so plentiful then we would go crabbing whenever we felt like it, and filling a cooler was quite easy... no reason to buy them. Good memories. Haven't been crabbing around here in years. Maybe something to do next year.
