Authentic Maryland Steamed Crabs Shipped Nationwide
Have our Maryland steamed crabs shipped directly to your door! We know that a crab’s size doesn’t matter if it isn’t heavy, which is why our team hand-sorts every bushel to ensure you get meaty, full crabs every single time.
Why Our Maryland Steamed Crabs Shipped are Superior
We don’t boil our crabs. We steam them in traditional high-pressure cookers to lock in the moisture and sweetness of the meat. Each layer is generously dusted with our custom blend of Maryland crab spice, creating that iconic spicy taste that defines a true Baltimore feast. When you choose to have our Maryland steamed crabs shipped, you are getting the same quality you’d find at the best crab houses in the Chesapeake.
Hand-Selected for Weight & Quality
Hand-Selected for Weight: We sort out the “light” crabs that our competitors might include. You only pay for heavy, meaty crabs.
True Local Sourcing: We support local Maryland watermen and follow sustainable harvesting practices.
Freshness Guaranteed: We steam and chill your crabs. They are packed in custom insulated containers with frozen gel packs to maintain a safe, chilled temperature throughout transit.
Sourcing & Preparation
A Note on Sourcing: While we always prioritize the local Maryland catch, nature doesn’t always cooperate. During periods of extreme weather or low local harvest levels, we use our decades of expertise to source the heaviest, highest-quality blue crabs from coastal waters further south. Rest assured, they are always steamed in our Maryland kitchen using our signature process and custom spice blend.
Serving Your Crabs
When your order arrives, you can enjoy them chilled or give them a quick 5-minute steam to bring back that “just out of the pot” heat. To complete your ultimate seafood feast, don’t forget to add our crab mallets and a pound of our steamed gulf shrimp to your order!
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Maryland Crab Delivery
How many Maryland steamed crabs should I order per person? For a traditional feast, we recommend 6 to 12 crabs per person, depending on what else you are serving. If you are having our Maryland steamed crabs shipped alongside our Jumbo Gulf Shrimp, sides or other entrees a half-dozen per person is usually plenty.
How do you ensure the crabs stay fresh during transit? We use custom-engineered, thick-walled insulated coolers and professional-grade frozen gel packs. Our shipping method ensures that your crabs stay at a safe, chilled temperature from our steamer to your front door. Because we only offer overnight shipping for perishables, the time in transit is kept to an absolute minimum. We recommend refrigerating the steamed crabs and any other products upon arrival.
What is the difference between “Heavy” crabs and “Light” crabs? In the crab world, size can be deceiving. A “light” crab has recently shed its shell and hasn’t filled back out with meat yet. A “heavy” crab is full of succulent, sweet meat. While our competitors often ship by size alone, we hand-sort every order to ensure that when you have our Maryland steamed crabs shipped, you are getting the meatiest crabs available that day.
Can I reheat my crabs? Yes! While many Marylanders enjoy them cold right out of the fridge, you can easily reheat them. Simply steam them for 5 minutes—just enough to get them hot—without overcooking the meat. Avoid the microwave, as it can make the meat rubbery.
