Please Understand
"If we can't catch 'em, we can't ship
'em." |
Our crabs are caught
daily fresh from the Chesapeake Bay.
Bad weather will keep sane crabbers off the water and lucky
crabs out of our pots. In the winter months especially, it is
best to check to see if crabs are available. Call 1-877-328-2722 |

| About Crabplace.com Hard Crabs |
| In 1989, the Maryland Blue Crab (Callinectes sapidus Rathbun) was designated the State Crustacean. Its name honors Mary Jane Rathbun, the scientist who described the species in 1896. The blue crab's scientific name translates as "beautiful swimmer that is savory." Blue crab meat sometimes is compared to the sweetness of lobster meat; the flavor best appreciated by cracking and eating steamed hardshells or feasting on softshells. Crab is prepared in restaurant and home kitchens in innumerable ways, steamed or sauteed, as Maryland Crab Cakes and Crab Imperial, or in crab soup and crab dip. The annual National Hard Crab Derby and Fair is held each Labor Day weekend in the town of Crisfield, Somerset County, Maryland. There are held crab races, a crab picking contest, a crab cooking contest, and the traditional crab feast! At the Somers Cove Marina, the next Derby will be held in September 2006.

| Here's what one of our customers had to say...
"I just want you to know that my husband and I have spent the weekend eating the steamed crabs that you had delivered to us on Friday. They were so very good. We will be placing orders at least every other month and maybe some each month. Thanks."
