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

These Chesapeake Crab Connection female blue crabs, known as Sooks, range in size from small to extra large, measuring between 5 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 maintain quality. A bushel contains between 5 and 7 dozen crabs, making it suitable for serving a large group. The meat is dense, sweet, and tender, melting in your mouth. These crabs develop fat stores called "mustard" due to their habitat's four distinct seasons, resulting in 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 the meat remains succulent. These hard shell blue crabs are made in America and provide a distinctive flavor that complements your establishment's seasoning blends.
