The CHESAPEAKE CRAB Story...
CHESAPEAKE CRAB is proud to be Family-Owned and Operated since 1990!
Fueled by passion and a love for being out on the water, Captain Jim, founder of Chesapeake Crab Connection began his crab days as a waterman along the shore of Annapolis and Kent Island. Whitehall Bay and the Severn River marked his prime spots for sinking pots and setting lines.
Through years of successes and failures Captain Jim created two local storefront while also shipping out live and steamed crabs all across the country.
Now, three decades later, Chesapeake Crab Connection is able to provide sustainable seafood nationwide, while also growing the two local storefronts. That ONE boat and crabber is now a fleet of over 15 boats manned with 60 crabbers.
Still family owned and operated, the business has been acquired by the Koenig Family, Father, Son, and Nephew. Continuing to share these fresh products nationwide with the goal to make high quality seafood accessible to everyone.
Over the years we can’t thank you enough for all of the support!
Cheers,
The Chesapeake Crab Connection Team

FAQ
Method 1: Reheating on the Stovetop (Steaming)
-
Prepare the Steamer: Fill a large pot with about an inch or two of water. Add a steaming rack or basket on top, making sure it sits above the water level.
-
Heat the Water: Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
-
Add the Crabs: Place the steamed blue crabs in the steamer basket. You can layer them, but don't overcrowd them.
-
Steam the Crabs: Cover the pot and let the crabs steam for 5–10 minutes until heated through. Be careful not to over-steam, as this can dry out the meat.
-
Check for Heat: Carefully remove one crab and check that it's heated evenly before serving.
-
Serve: Remove the crabs from the steamer and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces.
Method 2: Reheating in the Oven
-
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Prepare the Crabs: Place the crabs in a baking dish and cover them with aluminum foil to retain moisture.
-
Add Moisture: To keep the crabs from drying out, add a splash of water or a bit of melted butter to the baking dish.
-
Reheat: Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until thoroughly heated. Check that the crabs are warmed evenly before serving.
-
Serve: Remove from the oven and enjoy.
Method 3: Reheating in the Microwave (Quick Option)
-
Prepare the Crabs: Place the crabs on a microwave-safe dish and cover with a damp paper towel to retain moisture.
-
Heat: Microwave on high for 1–2 minutes. Check the temperature after one minute and continue heating in 30-second intervals until hot.
-
Serve: Once heated through, serve immediately. Be cautious, as microwaving may slightly dry out the crabs.
For all methods, avoid overheating, as it can make the crab meat tough and dry. These techniques will keep the crabs moist and flavorful!
