I would have to say that any time you visit a gourmet shop at the Delaware Beaches….and shops that don’t really have anything to do with food, but do represent the best of our beaches, you will find products by the Blue Crab Bay Co. But, wait, not only do they sell nationally, they also sell internationally.
The Blue Crab Bay Co. is located at 29368 Atlantic Avenue in Melfa, Virginia 23410. It is at the Accomack Airport Industrial Park, off Lankford Highway. Tels. toll free 800-221-2722, local 757-787-3602. Website? http://www.bluecrabbay.com. You can also find it on Facebook.
This company started in 1985 by Pam Barefoot. When you visit the website above mentioned check the history. It is very interesting. Blue Crab Bay Co. offers different types of nuts and when Cindi and I found out that we were passing through it was a no brainer to stop at the actual plant.
We got good tips. The Skipjacks, which are honey roasted. Mix them with The Surf Doggies, which are honey mustard roasted, making sure you put one of each in your mouth. It is a totally great combination of tastes.
Hooked on the Crab House Crunch…very easy to do. They are sweet and salty. Peanut squares with Chesapeake Bay Seasoning.
Make sure you also check the recipes given on the website. You will not believe how many and how good they sound. Website is http://www.bluecrabbay.com.
The stoneware collection sold at the store and online is exclusively produced and hand painted for the company…designed by Eastern Shore artisan, Jose Dovis, who also designed the logo for Blue Crab Bay Co. in 1985.
You will also find Pam’s Pantry and Home Essentials at the Blue Crab Bay Co. These products are from other companies that are used and recommended by them.
The mixers are to be used as part of your favorite beverages but also there are very good recipes using them, as well.
EVENT: FIRST OYSTER & WINE FEST – SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2014 – 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. They will be serving Oysters on the Half Shell from Shooting Point Oyster Co., Oyster Shooters by the Great Machipongo Clam Shack, Oyster & Clam Chowder by Blue Crab Bay Co……Wines by Chatham Vineyards, which I visited with friends, and a post can be found on this website on 9/4/14.
Food tickets available at the door, while supplies last. Parking along the side streets and in the rear of the building. Please note that 10% of the proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life.
So, again, I say…..while traveling up and down Eastern Shore of Virginia, make sure you stop and absorb it all. You don’t find too many places like this anymore.
See you…talk to you later.
