Chesapeake Crab Connection Small to Extra Large 5" to 7" Non-Seasoned Steamed Female Blue Crabs - 1 Bushel

This 1 bushel package of Chesapeake Crab Connection blue crabs includes a mix of small to extra large female Sooks ranging from 5 to 7 inches. These wild-caught crabs are steamed whole in their shells without seasoning, allowing you to apply your own seafood spice blends. The bushel contains between 5 and 7 dozen crabs, making it ideal for serving large groups.

The female crabs have 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, ensuring the meat remains succulent. These crabs accumulate fat stores called "mustard" due to their adaptation to four distinct seasons, resulting in a heartier texture and a sweet, buttery taste. The product ships refrigerated and is made in America.

This package weighs 38 pounds and features hard shell blue crabs suitable for traditional crack-and-eat service or for use in specialty dishes like Maryland crab cakes or crab dip.
