Maryland's Numerous Culinary Arts Schools Meet Diverse Career Needs


Nothing screams Maryland more than more than a big, scrumptious crab cake sandwich. In fact, you'd be hard pressed to find a restaurant without a crab cake on its menu in Maryland! Every local fish hut and restaurant typically has its own take on the classic fried lump of delicious white crab meat--some like it plain and simple, while others like to dress it up with aioli and a little frisee.

Maryland's location on the Chesapeake Bay means it offers a lot of other fresh seafood in addition to crab. At a culinary arts school in Baltimore or Annapolis, you may learn how to cook all sorts of different seafood, including the perfect crab cake.
