THE MARYLAND STATE CRUSTACEAN
The Maryland state crustacean is the Blue Crab. It was voted Maryland's official state crustacean in 1989. The Blue Crab is a Maryland seafood specialty from the Chesapeake Bay. That is because there are so many of them in the Chesapeake Bay. The great Blue Crab has been around for many years.
