Standard Female Maryland Blue Crabs - Steamed
Cameron’s Seafood is proud to be a True Blue certified partner which means that they only sell 100% Authentic Maryland crabs.
What’s so special about Maryland blue crabs anyway? It has to do with the unique weather and the type of estuary we have in the Chesapeake Bay. To sustain them through the winter, large blue crabs have to build up extra fat stores which gives them that sweet, buttery flavor you won’t find in other types of crabs or in blue crabs from other waters.
These Standard blue crabs are caught, steamed to perfection and carefully packed the same day your order ships.
