She said OTHER than corn!!!!

I would recommend anything you can eat w your hands. If you are eating crabs, it is a mess. Mind you, I love them! So, fries, hushpuppies, corn, the veggies sound good.

baked beans, fried chicken, vegetable kabobs

Great ideas, thanks!

And key lime pie

Bagged cole slaw with Vidalia Onion dressing, old bay and salt and pepper. The old bay makes it go really well with crabs. Also, not mayonnaise so it doesn't get that funky smell that mayonnaise gets when left out of the fridge.

Macaroni and cheese, especially if kids will be there. Or a hearty pasta salad.

This! And the corn sounds awesome!!!!

I'd get a lot of crudites, a fruit plate, potato salad, pasta salad, corn on the cob, guacamole and salsa and chips, and call it a day. You can make or outsource any of that stuff.

cheap beer

Hand-cut french fries

corn on the cob. roasted potatoes. green salad. you don't need anything else!

Trying to think of something to make alongside a bushel of crabs for a small party aside from the standards: corn, burgers, dogs. I'm eh on crabs, and some friends only eat few so we'd need something more substantial. Any ideas? Thanks!!
