Chesapeake Crab Connection Extra Large 6.5-7 Inch Seasoned Steamed Male Blue Crabs - 12 Per Case

These Chesapeake Crab Connection male blue crabs are extra large, measuring between 6 1/2 and 7 inches. They are seasoned moderately and steamed whole in their shells, providing a fresh seafood option with a moderately spiced flavor. Each case contains 12 crabs, which is an ideal quantity to serve one to two people. The crabs are wild-caught and partially cooked, featuring sweet, flaky meat known as male Jimmies.

Preparation involves steaming the crabs for 6 to 8 minutes over a mixture of water, vinegar, and optional beer, ensuring the meat remains moist and tender. These crabs can be served traditionally as crack-and-eat or processed into specialty dishes like Maryland crab cakes or cheesy crab dip. The natural buildup of fat, called "mustard," gives the crabs a sweet, buttery taste and heartier texture due to their adaptation to four distinct seasons.

The product ships refrigerated and is made in America with a pre-seasoned style, classified as hard shell blue crab. The shipping weight for the case is 21 pounds. Serving guidelines recommend 8 to 12 crabs per person if served alone, or 6 crabs per person when accompanied by other foods.
