Sold in a 1\/2 bushel case, each contains approximately 2 1\/2 dozen crabs, suitable for serving a small group. These wild-caught crabs are partially cooked and shipped refrigerated to maintain quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe crabs feature sweet, flaky meat that is tender and melts in the mouth. Preparation involves steaming the par-cooked crabs for 6 to 8 minutes in a pot with equal parts water, vinegar, and optionally beer, using a rack above the liquid. Season with salt and your signature spices, taking care not to dry the meat. These crabs develop fat stores called \"mustard\" due to their adaptation to four distinct seasons, which imparts a heartier texture and a sweet, buttery flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade in America, these hard shell crabs are ideal for traditional crack-and-eat presentations or for processing into specialty dishes like Maryland crab cakes or cheesy crab dip. Re-steaming does not cause a recognizable loss of quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:20px;\"\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eQuantity: 1\/Case\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShipping Weight: 29 lb.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCooked Style: Partially Cooked\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrab Quantity: 2 1\/2 Dozen Crabs\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures: Made in America\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGender: Male\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrade: Steamed Crabs\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeat Variety: Crab\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerishable Type: Refrigerated Foods\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSize: L XL\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSource: Wild-Caught\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStyle: Blue Crab\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eType: Hard Shell\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpertly steamed blue crabs\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMale Jimmies with sweet, flaky meat\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLarge to extra large, non-seasoned crabs between 6\" and 7\" are perfect for adding signature spices\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1\/2 bushel includes around 2 1\/2 dozen crabs, perfect for a small group\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShips refrigerated\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RADYAN","offers":[{"title":"1\/2 Bushel \/ Large \/ XL \/ Non-Seasoned","offer_id":48270736195636,"sku":"webstaurant-872ccc021-19082026-vsku","price":484.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/2533\/2532\/files\/2255699.jpg?v=1788301207","url":"https:\/\/radyanmarketplace.com\/products\/webstaurant-872ccc021-19082026","provider":"Radyan Marketplace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
