Whitey Schmidt - "The Blue Crab Guru"

As a hobby, Whitey Schmidt began collecting crab memorabilia, seafood restaurant menus and various "crab facts." Today Whitey is the author of eight books and known the world over as the "blue crab guru." His cookbooks include hundreds of recipes for crabs, oysters and various seafood - especially seafood native to the Eastern Shore.

Now living in Crisfield, Maryland, Whitey is working on his ninth book and continuing to discover new ways to prepare and serve crabs and seafood.

Frances Kitching, a Smith Islander born and bred, knew as a mere eight-year-old that she was her grandmother’s favorite because she was the child who loved to cook. She had no idea that she would become a celebrity, however, when she volunteered to cook for workers installing electric lines on the island in the early 1950s, but that experience led to her opening her inn and restaurant. A ham and cabbage dinner prepared for a travel writer cruising the Chesapeake Bay brought the first of many rave reviews. Over many years visitors and guests to Smith Island from far and wide praised Mrs. Kitching’s cuisine and urged her to share her recipes. $13.95 Mrs. Kitching's recipes for Crab Balls and Scalloped Oysters are listed below.
