STANDARDIZING THE TASTE OF TRADITION: MARYLAND CRAB CAKES FROM THAILAND BY Kelly Feltault ABSTRACT Blue crabs are the main ingredient in Maryland crab cakes, a regional food symbolizing the Chesapeake and Maryland's state identity. As the taste of Maryland, crab cakes invoke authenticity through the Bay's maritime culture and rural coastal communities. However, since 1997 almost eighty percent of the crabmeat consumed in the US has been imported from countries like Thailand, and Maryland crab cakes have become a standardized, mass produced menu item served in restaurants across the US. By 2008, blue crab stocks in the Chesapeake and Thailand faced collapse. Policy makers and much of the literature on fisheries would call this a tragedy of the commons while agro-food commodity chains literature has ignored seafood and bifurcated the food system into global and local foods. My dissertation recognizes blue crabs as simultaneously a politically and culturally meaningful food and a natural resource, and examines how Maryland crab cakes became an authenticity niche-a once regional food that continues to symbolize the place and food culture of its origins but is industrially produced for the mass market through our global food system. I argue that 11 transforming the Maryland crab cake into an authenticity niche was a form of accumulation by dispossession integral to neoliberal economic growth strategies in Maryland and Thailand. My research reveals how seafood corporations and states are creating value and accumulating capital closer to the point of consumption through two new commodities­ seafood quality and safety-and how these reshaped the meaning of Maryland crab cakes. For Maryland crab cakes quality is defined through the perceived traditional production practices of Chesapeake crabmeat companies and the symbolic image of Chesapeake watermen, as well as the physical attributes of crabmeat. Seafood safety means the global governance system HACCP-a science-based, risk assessment approach for preventing and controlling hazards throughout the production-consumption network. In this way, I highlight how states and firms collaborated to enclose, marketized, and commodify culture and nature, but also how such processes in two different locations became interconnected to create a global industry and new forms of power by remaking nature, people, and culture for the global market. 111 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project would not have been possible without the support and interest of many people who have been generous with their time, knowledge, and enthusiasm. Melissa McCloud of the Center for Chesapeake Studies at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum and the crabmeat packers and pickers of the Eastern Shore have been part of this project since 1997 when it was a public history and rural development project. They spl:}fked my appreciation for the Bay, its communities, and history, and the Shore's crab pickers taught me how to pick crabs "properly" while also making sure I understood the complexity of the industry and their lives. My dissertation chair, Brett Williams, has read numerous drafts for which I am grateful, and always raised interesting questions alongside insightful feedback. Brett has also been a wonderful colleague and friend. The rest of my committee, Warren Belasco and Robin Broad, kept me creatively thinking across disciplines-no small task for a project that bridges food, fisheries, development, and heritage. This multi-disciplinary group showed great enthusiasm for the project and opened up new ways of thinking about food and the environment as the project progressed. Gabriella Petrick and the other attendees at the Hagley Conference in 2006 encouraged me to pursue the issue of taste and standardization while inspiring me with their own research. Fieldwork in Thailand was supported by a fellowship from the National Education Security Project for food and environmental security and a Foreign Language IV Area Studies grant to study Thai language at the Southeast Asia Summer Studies Institute (SEASSI) in Madison, Wisconsin. Patcharee Promsuwan and Patcharin Peyasantiwong of the Thai language program at SEASSI deserve much of the credit for taking my Thai language skills from zero to a 3.5 on the Foreign Service language test in just three months. My time in Madison was the best introduction to Thailand I could have asked for. In Thailand, I was a visiting researcher at Walailak University in the Regional Studies Department, which allowed me to live in Southern Thailand close to the crabmeat companies, but also gave me a chance to meet wonderful colleagues and students. I am grateful to Patrick Jory, head of the Regional Studies Department, and the University for the opportunity. My colleagues Amporn Mardent, Onanong Thippimol, and Saliza Binti Ismail were constant companions intellectually and emotionally. Our lunch conversations about race and religion in Thailand and Southeast Asia helped me expand my thinking about global food standards and social control, while also giving me a better understanding of Muslim culture and life in southern Thailand. I would not have been able to conduct fieldwork in Thailand without support from several company executives, chiefly Norman Whittington and Lloyd Byrd. I am grateful for their openness and willingness to let me "hang out" in their factories. During the writing process, the members of the ABD Writing Group-Michelle, Jodi, Maria, Adelaide, Barbara, Kelly, and Becca-always gave me honest, constructive feedback and were a wonderful sounding board for ideas as well as emotional support. Finally, my husband has endured periodic visits to hot field sites in the Chesapeake and Thailand, and long absences-even when I was home writing. He has been a constant v source of support, laughter, creativity-and lately music (he decided to learn the banjo while I was cloistered in my office writing). Hopefully this is the end of our single income status and the beginning of more bluegrass jams. Vl TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT . 11 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT IV LIST OF TABLES x LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS.

  • Something Is Happening to Our Fish Stocks
    The oceans and us 1 The oceans and us Since man first gazed across its watery depths, the sea has been held in special regard. It has evoked visions of splendour and horror. It has provided life-sustaining riches and taken the lives of many in return. The sea is and continues to be a mystery, a symbolic representation of the forces of good and evil; of things that are beautiful and those that are beastly; of that which is human and that which is inspirational. The History of Seafood Of all the things that the oceans provide, perhaps the most important resource for us is the rich array of seafood which we harvest from its depths and shorelines across the world. More importantly, for those of us involved in the seafood industry, from the fishers who catch the fish, to the restaurant or deli owner that sells it, this seafood represents more than just a source of food; it is part of our culture, our heritage and our livelihood. Seafood may mean different things to different people. We may not know it but we all depend on the oceans To some, it is the height of luxury; an oyster still fresh in one way or another. from the sea shared over a glass of champagne. To others, it may be the daily meal, the fish brought home /ƚ ĐŽŶƚƌŽůƐ ŽƵƌ ĐůŝŵĂƚĞ͖ ǁŝƚŚŽƵƚ ƚŚĞ ŽĐĞĂŶ͛Ɛ after a long time at sea or some mussels gathered at low moderating effects on the weather, our days would be tide along the rocky shore.

  • Persistent Seafood Fraud Found in South Florida
    Persistent Seafood Fraud Found in South Florida July 2012 Authors: Kimberly Warner, Ph.D., Walker Timme, Beth Lowell and Margot Stiles Executive Summary In Florida, the state’s residents and its visitors enjoy eating and catching seafood. In fact, Floridians eat twice as much seafood as the average American. At the same time, Florida has a long history of uncovering and addressing seafood fraud, specifically the substitution of one species of fish for another less desirable or less expensive species. Oceana recently investigated seafood mislabeling in South Florida as part of a campaign to Stop Seafood Fraud. The results were disturbing. Nearly a third of the seafood tested was mislabeled in some way, leaving consumers with little ability to know what they are eating or feeding their families, and even less ability to make informed choices that promote sustainable fishing practices, or even protect their health. Key Findings: Overall, Oceana found 31% of seafood mislabeled in the Miami/Fort Lauderdale-area in this 2011/12 survey. Fraud was detected in half of the 14 different types of fish collected, with snappers and white tuna being the most frequently mislabeled. • Red snapper was mislabeled 86% of the time (six out of seven samples). • Grouper, while mislabeled at a lower level (16% of the time), had one of the most egregious substitutions: one fish sold as grouper was actually king mackerel, a fish that federal and state authorities advise women of childbearing age not to eat due to high mercury levels, which can harm a developing fetus. • Atlantic salmon was substituted for wild or king salmon 19% of the time (one in five times).
