Chesapeake Crab Connection 6" to 7" Large & Extra Large Lightly Seasoned Steamed Male Blue Crabs - 1/2 Bushel

This 1/2 bushel package of Chesapeake Crab Connection blue crabs includes large to extra large male Jimmies measuring between 6 and 7 inches. These wild-caught crabs are steamed whole in their shells and lightly seasoned with a signature seafood spice blend. The package contains approximately 2 1/2 dozen crabs, making it suitable for serving a small group.

The male crabs feature 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, 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 29 pounds and includes hard shell blue crabs ideal for traditional crack-and-eat service or for use in specialty dishes like Maryland crab cakes or crab dip.
