Details

Liven up your menu with an impressive seafood bounty fresh from the Atlantic by serving this Chesapeake Crab Connection fresh lump blue crab meat. This premium lump blue crab meat offers a tender, supple texture with unrivaled freshness. The fresh meat can be seasoned with a signature blend of seafood spices that will delight your guests. Use it as a foundation for specialty dishes like Maryland crab cakes, cheesy crab dip, or creamy crab bisque. Let the natural, delicate flavor of blue crab shine and keep your guests coming back for more. This crab meat saves you from having to separate the crab meat from the shell, which allows you to spend more time perfecting each meal you serve.

Unlike crabs caught in areas with milder climates, these blue crabs acclimate their habitats to four distinct seasons throughout the year. This forces these crabs to hibernate and build up fat stores, commonly called "mustard," that are noticeably darker than other blue crab varieties and result in a heartier texture with a sweet, buttery taste. This distinctive flavor, combined with your establishment's signature seasoning blends, makes these crabs a uniquely customized, cherished option on your menu.

Pioneered by a local Maryland crabber turned captain, Chesapeake Crab Connection is the bay lover's choice for blue crabs that are sure to impress. The company offers a variety of both male and female crabs that are true to size standards, guaranteeing the quality and quantity you're looking for to fit your needs. They have over 30 years of experience catching, seasoning, and steaming blue crabs and other premium seafood, as well as preparing seafood specialties such as soups and crab cakes filled with from-scratch flavor. Trust Chesapeake Crab Connection to supply your establishment with the most delectable seafood products to satisfy your guests looking for an authentic Maryland seafood experience.
