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

These Chesapeake Crab Connection blue crabs are a selection of small to extra large female Sooks, measuring between 5" and 7". They are wild-caught and steamed whole in their hard shells, then lightly seasoned with a signature blend of seafood spices. Each bushel contains 5 to 7 dozen crabs, making it suitable for feeding large groups. The crabs feature dense, sweet meat with a tender texture and a natural, delicate flavor enhanced by their darker fat stores, known as "mustard," which develop due to their adaptation to four distinct seasons.

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 without drying out. These crabs ship refrigerated and are made in America. They can be served traditionally cracked or processed into dishes like Maryland crab cakes or crab dip.

With a shipping weight of 38 lb. per case, this product offers a flavorful seafood option featuring female blue crabs in a variety of sizes from small to extra large.
