Chesapeake Crab Connection Large to Extra Large 6"-7" Lightly Seasoned Steamed Blue Crabs - 1 Bushel

These Chesapeake Crab Connection large to extra large blue crabs measure between 6 and 7 inches and are steamed whole in their shells with a light seasoning blend. The male Jimmies have sweet, flaky meat with a tender texture and a delicately spiced flavor. A bushel contains around 5 dozen crabs, suitable for serving large groups. These wild-caught blue crabs are partially cooked and shipped refrigerated to preserve freshness. Preparation involves steaming the crabs over a mixture of water, vinegar, and optional beer for 6 to 8 minutes to maintain optimal texture. Seasonal habitat changes cause these crabs to develop a darker "mustard" fat, resulting in a heartier texture and sweet, buttery taste. These lightly seasoned crabs offer a flavorful option for your menu.
