Peggy and Bill Elliott have been married for 60 years, and he crabbed for that entire time. When they started out, Peggy used to clean all the crab pots by hand, a job she loved and that never diminished her pleasure in cooking and serving crabs. Peggy is a superb cook, one of those old-fashioned wonderful cooks who rarely writes down recipes but never turns out a bad meal. She graciously put pen to paper for this book.
