Maryland Style Crab Cakes – Crab Cakes Maryland – Maryland Crab Cakes – Crab Cakes

November 23rd, 2010

U.S. Crabmeat Supply Becoming Limited

Mr. Kanaras states, “Supply and demand is affecting our Maryland crab cake restaurant business. There are fewer sources of U.S. crabmeat but consumer demand is still high. Our big challenge will be where we get our winter crabmeat.”

Since the Gulf Coast crabmeat supply is more limited than ever and east coast crabmeat is not available during the winter, crabmeat will have to come from other areas – such as foreign suppliers. Even though some consumers are leery of foreign seafood, foreign suppliers may end up being a major source of crabmeat and other seafood.

Consumers can expect more foreign seafood being served in restaurants as U.S. suppliers cannot meet the demand.  Seafood industry insiders report that Phillips Foods already uses foreign seafood and has a strategy in place to corner the Indonesian crab meat market that will leverage their Indonesia crab processing facilities.

Tom Kanaras believes foreign crabmeat is safe (due to advanced pasteurization processes) and of high quality; especially Indonesian crabmeat. If Kanaras has to use foreign crabmeat, he will gladly inform his customers about the source of the meat.

Expect Maryland Crab Cake Prices to Go Up – But Don’t Settle for Less Quality

Right now, crabmeat prices are $16-$17/pound, which could climb to $20.  Some restaurateurs feel that the quality of the Maryland crab cakes will have to suffer because of the higher prices.

Tom Kanaras has a different point-of-view: “We will not cut back on the quality of our world-famous crab cakes. Our proprietary recipe has been around too long. We’re doing a lot of praying and crossing our fingers that the prices don’t have to go up but if they do, our customers can always enjoy the same quality that we have delivered for over a quarter of a century.”

Ocean City Maryland Beach Rental

April 29th, 2010

Ocean City Maryland is a popular vacation destination for beachcombers and with so much to see and do, its no wonder that many will come this year to OCMD for their family vacation. Many Family Vacationers will log onto www.rentraffles.com for an affordable condo rental this summer in Ocean City Maryland.

Ocean City Senior Week Activities

Play It Safe Ocean City Maryland

Congratulations to the 2010 graduates as many will also make the trip to OCMD for Senior Week.
Ocean City is known for its “Senior Week” activities. Recently graduated high school seniors from Maryland and surrounding states travel to Ocean City to spend a week with friends and away from parental supervision. Senior Week traditionally begins the first week after graduation. The Town of Ocean City has a “play it safe” campaign with scheduled events to keep the graduates safe.

Attention High School grads! Are you coming to Ocean City Maryland for some fun in the sun? Do you like to dance or play volleyball or basketball? Do you like to bowl or surf the water slide? Would you like to learn how to windsurf or kayak? How about playing laser tag or paintball? Play It Safe has just the thing for you!

Play It Safe can offer you all of these activities and so much more. During June, the Ocean City Play It Safe month, there are over 40 exciting free events planned. With the support and administration of the Worcester County Health Department, it is planned and sponsored by the Ocean City Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention Committee. The Play It Safe committee develops, prints and distributes nearly 65,000 Play It Safe booklets to high schools across Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Delaware just before graduation. If the booklets are not available at your school, you can pick one up at many Ocean City businesses, Visitor’s Center on 40th St., Chamber of Commerce and places of accommodation. This booklet contains over 47 money saving coupons and a centerfold calendar listing of all the free events. In addition, the Play It Safe booklet contains valuable information about potential health hazards, local laws and ordinances and where to seek help if needed.

The goal of Play It Safe is to encourage high school graduates to make informed, healthy choices while having responsible fun without the use of alcohol and other drugs. This project is a well coordinated effort of the Ocean City Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention Committee, the Worcester County Health Department and the Town of Ocean City. It is a community wide project that involves a partnership of health, education, law enforcement, business, service organizations and volunteers. With a core grant from the Governor’s Office of Crime Control and Prevention and donations from many local businesses and caring citizens, this project has been able to grow stronger every year.

Ocean City is a great place to visit, to have great fun and to make wonderful graduation memories. One important objective for the Play It Safe program is to promote an injury-free June for visiting High School grads. We encourage all high school grads who are planning to come to Ocean City for Senior Week to get a Play It Safe booklet from their high school or pick one up here in Ocean City. Check out the events, plan to attend them and be sure to bring your booklet with you! Pick up a wristband to ride the city bus all week – FREE. With everyone working together, your graduation vacation to Ocean City will be enjoyable and filled with outstanding memories. We, the Play It Safe committee, look forward to meeting you at one of our awesome graduation events!

April 14th, 2010

Not familiar with northern Ocean City? Never been there before? We let us tell you exactly why this townhouse on 127th street is the perfect place for you and your family to conveniently enjoy your next vacation! Leave the tour guiding to us.

First, lets talk food.

What family or group of vacationers doesn’t enjoy a delicious meal after a long day of sun bathing and boogie boarding? Well there are plenty of those available within walking distance of this beautiful beach getaway. Here are a few of our top picks:

-Try one of Ocean City’s biggest burgers at The Blue Ox Bar & Grill on 126th St.

-Enjoy some award-winning wings at Hooters of Ocean City on 123rd St.

-Try Tequila Mockingbird’s famous margaritas and unbeatable Mexican cuisine on 130th St.

-Need a tasty breakfast? Visit the award-winning Fractured Prune Donut Shoppe for some hot, hand-dipped donuts (featured on the Food Network Program, Southern Living and Roker on the Road) on 127th St.

-Indulge in the all-time famous crab cakes and seafood of Phillips Seafood House on 141st St.

These are just some favorite locals, but there are many more restaurants Ocean City has to offer!

Happy kids, happy vacation, happy memories.

This townhouse location has plenty for the kids to do, which we all know is very important on a family vacation. Here are a few of the many activities and pastimes the family can enjoy together:

-Spend a day biking, playing sports, running or lounging at the Ocean City’s famous Northside Park conveniently on 127th St. This is the largest most popular park facility in the city. The 58-acre complex offers three lighted softball/baseball fields, a lighted soccer field, multipurpose field, a fishing lagoon, a foot-bridge, concession stands, two playgrounds, a picnic area, two piers, a gazebo, walking/jogging paths and a 14,200 sq. foot gymnasium!

Now to the point; you need water!

The beach is simply a swift walk across the street where your family can enjoy the sand, sun and ocean water. Partake in a volleyball game, Frisbee tossing, football throwing or just pure relaxation. Rent umbrellas and chairs right at the entrance. However, if the family tires of beach and sand, try the convenient and spacious large in-ground pool simply steps from the front door. This option can be much more kid and baby friendly, allowing rafts and pool toys to occupy them for hours!
