Chesapeake Crab Connection Large to Extra Large 6"-7" Non-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 without seasoning, offering a fresh seafood option. The male Jimmies feature sweet, flaky meat with a tender texture and a natural, delicate flavor. A bushel contains approximately 5 dozen crabs, making it suitable for feeding large groups. These wild-caught blue crabs are partially cooked and shipped refrigerated to maintain freshness. Preparation involves steaming the crabs over a mixture of water, vinegar, and optional beer for 6 to 8 minutes to achieve optimal texture. The crabs develop a darker "mustard" fat due to seasonal habitat changes, contributing to a heartier texture and sweet, buttery taste. These crabs provide a customizable option for seasoning and menu versatility.
