Fresh deviled crabs (Callinectes hastatus). 



Two cases of No. 1 and No. 2 cans. Hampton, Ya. McMenamin & 

 Co. " This is the meat of the crab carefully picked, seasoned, 

 and packed in cans as above. The carapace or top shell of 

 the crab accompanies each case of cans — a case of shells to 

 each case of cans. These are filled from the cans, baked in a 

 quick oven until nicely browned, and eaten from the shell ; or 

 the shells may be dispensed with, and the meat may be eaten 

 from the can, or prepared into a variety of dishes. We are 

 the pioneers in the packing of canned crabs. So far as we are 

 able to learn, the idea was first conceived and put into execu- 

 tion by ourselves. Other similar establishments started after- 

 wards, but to-day we are the only packers of canned crabs in 

 America." (McMenamin & Co.)
