    It's 4:50 a.m. in Louisiana as I casually scrolled CZcams, I was delighted by the first glance of soup with crabs. As I positioned my phone 2 inches away from my smiling face, I immediately clicked on the video.
    To my surprise, the disappointment sat in my stomach quickly once I noticed this video would air at 9:30 a.m. I will be back ☺️

    Man, thank you so much for this video. Being from Norfolk and the Eastern Shore of VA as a kid and raised abroad the U.S., this was a coveted favorite of mine that I dearly missed for so long. Nothing comes close to this exquisite dish that is a staple of Tidewater VA and the Carolina Coast. Recently I moved back to the East Coast and this immediately on my mind. My favorite was at the Freemason Abbey restaurant in Norfolk, Now I hear there is a She Crab Soup festival in VA Beach in April that I already missed ... next year I'm checking this out. In the meantime I'm going to finally try and make this at home thanks to you.
