Chesapeake Crab Connection Seasoned Steamed Large to Extra Large Female Blue Crabs 6"-7" - 12/Case

These Chesapeake Crab Connection female blue crabs, known as Sooks, range from large to extra large sizes between 6 and 7 inches. Wild-caught and steamed whole in their shells, they are seasoned with a signature blend of seafood spices for a moderately spiced flavor. The crabs are partially cooked and shipped refrigerated to preserve quality. Each case contains 12 crabs, suitable for serving one to two people. The meat is dense, sweet, and tender, melting in your mouth. Due to their habitat's four distinct seasons, these crabs accumulate fat stores called "mustard," which contribute to a heartier texture and a sweet, buttery taste. Preparation involves steaming the par-cooked crabs for 6 to 8 minutes over a mixture of water, vinegar, and optionally beer, ensuring optimal texture without drying the meat. These hard shell blue crabs are made in America and offer a distinctive flavor enhanced by your establishment's seasoning blends.
