FAQS

Where do your crabs come from?

Are the Crabs Fresh?

All of our crabs are caught, steamed, and shipped daily to ensure freshness. With our satisfaction guarantee if your order is not right, we will make it right! Are My Crabs Still Fresh to Cook?

Are the Crabs Meaty?

We hand-select all of our crabs and grade them out by both size and weight. We guarantee that every crab shipped out is "fat"!

Do you ship live and steamed crabs?

Yes! We offer both live blue crabs and freshly steamed crabs, cooked to perfection with authentic J.O. Spice seasoning. Choose the option that best fits your seafood feast!

How are your crabs shipped?

Our crabs are carefully packed with insulated coolers and gel packs to maintain peak freshness during transit. For longer transit times we are also able to utilize dry ice to keep frozen items in a complete frozen state. We use fast shipping to ensure your order arrives in top condition, whether live or steamed.

Do you offer seafood besides crabs?

Yes! In addition to blue crabs, we offer jumbo lump crab cakes, crab legs, soft-shell crabs, shrimp, blue crab meat, and more—all wild-caught and hand-selected for top quality.
