Chesapeake Crab Connection 6" to 6 1/2" Large Lightly Seasoned Steamed Male Blue Crabs - 12 per Case

These Chesapeake Crab Connection blue crabs are large male Jimmies measuring between 6 and 6 1/2 inches. They are wild-caught and steamed whole in their shells with a light seasoning of a signature seafood spice blend. Each case contains one dozen crabs, suitable for serving one to two people. The male crabs have sweet, flaky 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 20 pounds and includes large hard shell blue crabs, suitable for traditional crack-and-eat presentations or for processing into dishes like Maryland crab cakes or crab dip.
