Great Question! Not everyone eats the same amount of crabs and it also depends on if there is other food that is being paired with crabs. The size of the crabs also determines how many you will want per person.

Our general rule of thumb is 6-8 crabs per person.

Feel free to give us a call to discuss how many crabs you need for your exact situation!

Call us or just stop by! If you are ordering a large number of crabs please call ahead.

The crab season usually goes from May to December. The fall months are when you will get the biggest, heaviest crabs.

Cold crabs can be easier to pick but, if you prefer hot crabs we have 3 strategies.

1- Wrap the crab in a damp paper towel and heat in the microwave for 1 minute.

2- Place the crab in a steamer pot and restream for 5 minutes.

3- Place the crab in the oven at 375°F for about 10 minutes.

We suggest eating them as soon as possible, but they will last around 3-4 days in the refrigerator.

Good Question! Males are normally larger than females. Female crabs are smaller, but the meat is sweeter.
