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

These Chesapeake Crab Connection steamed blue crabs are a mix of large and extra large sizes, ranging from 6" to 7". Wild-caught and partially cooked, these male Jimmies are pre-seasoned with a bold blend of seafood spices that enhance their naturally sweet, flaky meat. The bushel contains approximately 5 dozen crabs, making it ideal for serving a large group.

To prepare, steam the crabs for 6 to 8 minutes over a mixture of water, vinegar, and optional beer, using a rack to keep the crabs above the liquid and maintain their succulent texture. These crabs develop a darker "mustard" fat due to their adaptation to four distinct seasons, resulting in a heartier texture and sweet, buttery flavor. Their extra seasoning complements this distinctive taste, suitable for traditional crack-and-eat service or for use in specialty dishes such as Maryland crab cakes and cheesy crab dip.

The shipping weight for this bushel is 42 lb., and the crabs are shipped refrigerated to preserve quality. These hard shell blue crabs are made in America and offer a flavorful seafood option for your menu.
