Chesapeake Crab Connection 6" to 7" Large & Extra Large Non-Seasoned Steamed Female Blue Crabs - 12 per Case

These Chesapeake Crab Connection blue crabs are large to extra large female Sooks measuring between 6 and 7 inches. They are wild-caught and steamed whole in their shells without seasoning, allowing you to add your own signature seafood spices. Each case contains one dozen crabs, making it suitable to serve one to two people depending on your menu. The female crabs feature dense, sweet meat with a tender texture that melts in your mouth.

Preparation involves steaming the partially cooked crabs for 6 to 8 minutes over a mixture of water, vinegar, and optionally beer, taking care not to dry the meat. These crabs develop fat stores known as "mustard" due to their adaptation to four distinct seasons, resulting in a heartier texture and a sweet, buttery flavor. The product ships refrigerated and is made in America.

This package weighs 19 pounds and includes large and extra large hard shell blue crabs, suitable for traditional crack-and-eat presentations or for processing into dishes like Maryland crab cakes or crab dip.
