Chesapeake Crab Connection Seasoned Steamed Large to Extra Large Male Blue Crabs 6"-7" - 1/2 Bushel

These Chesapeake Crab Connection blue crabs are large to extra large male Jimmies measuring between 6 and 7 inches. They are wild-caught and steamed whole in their shells, seasoned with a signature blend of seafood spices for a moderately spiced flavor. The crabs are partially cooked and refrigerated, maintaining freshness for your menu needs. A half bushel contains approximately 2 1/2 dozen crabs, making it suitable for serving a small group. These crabs feature sweet, flaky meat with a tender texture that melts in your mouth. Their habitat's four distinct seasons cause them to build up fat stores called "mustard," which adds a heartier texture and a sweet, buttery taste. Preparation involves steaming the par-cooked crabs for 6 to 8 minutes over a mixture of water, vinegar, and optionally beer, ensuring optimal texture without drying the meat. These hard shell blue crabs are made in America and offer a distinctive flavor enhanced by your establishment's seasoning blends.
