Fresh Female Live Gulf Coast Blue Crabs – #1 (17.5 lbs)

Bring the taste of the Gulf Coast to your next crab boil! Our #1 Blue Crabs are a favorite for traditional seafood feasts.

Temperature: Store in a cool, damp environment (approx. 50°F). Do not put live crabs directly on ice or in a freezer, as extreme cold will kill them.
Airflow: Keep the lid of your transport container cracked. Live crabs need oxygen; never seal them in an airtight container or submerge them in standing water.
Handling: Always handle with tongs or wear heavy-duty gloves—these crabs are active and can pinch!

Clean Before Cooking: Rinse the crabs with cool, fresh water to remove any sand or silt before they hit the pot.
Traditional Boil: Steam or boil with plenty of Cajun or Maryland-style seasoning. Cook until the shells turn a bright, vivid orange (internal temperature of 145°F).
Inspection: Only cook crabs that are active and alive. Discard any crabs that are non-responsive or dead prior to cooking.

Allergen Warning: Contains Crustacean Shellfish.
Consumer Advisory: Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish, or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially if you have certain medical conditions.
Safety Note: For the best quality and food safety, live crabs should be cooked the same day they are picked up.
