Chesapeake Crab Connection Extra Large 6.5" to 7" Male Steamed Blue Crabs - 12 Per Case

These Chesapeake Crab Connection extra large blue crabs measure between 6 1/2" and 7" and come pre-seasoned with a bold blend of seafood spices. Wild-caught and steamed whole in their shells, these male Jimmies feature sweet, flaky meat with a tender texture that melts in your mouth. Each case contains one dozen crabs, making it suitable to serve one to two people, depending on your menu. The crabs are partially cooked and shipped refrigerated to maintain quality.

To prepare, steam the crabs for 6 to 8 minutes over a mixture of water, vinegar, and optional beer, using a rack above the liquid to avoid drying the meat. These crabs develop a distinctive dark "mustard" fat due to their adaptation to four seasons, resulting in a heartier texture and sweet, buttery flavor. Their extra seasoning complements this natural taste, making them a versatile choice for traditional crack-and-eat service or for creating dishes like Maryland crab cakes and cheesy crab dip.

With a shipping weight of 21 lb. per case, these hard shell blue crabs are made in America and offer a unique seafood option for your menu.
