Preparation

How do you reheat steamed blue crabs?

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!

About this product

When sizing up lobster tails at a seafood market’s frozen section, you may notice a stark difference between shells. A few have a leopard or spotted appearance with a “tannish” color, the warm-water; while others have a bold reddish-brown solid façade, the cold-water. Having a keen eye for these differences is just a start. Cold-water tails from lobsters caught off the coastlines of Canada or New England naturally exhibit a more desirable edge over its warm-water cousins. They grow more slowly in cold water. This occurrence develops a tender meat that’s plump and firm that seldomly cooks to mushiness. Instead, grilling or broiling cold-water tails produces a delicate, buttery white meat with a firm texture, only offered from this northern clawed specie. By the way, warm-water lobsters, known as spiney lobsters bear two long antennae rather than the “Maine” lobster’s paired claws. The bottom line, robust like crab and sweet like shrimp, cold-water tails boast a flavor somewhere between the two.

The migration from the East Coast to the Mid-West during the early Twentieth Century led more and more diners to try lobster alongside crab and shrimp.  The health benefits abound! In 100 grams or about 3.5 ounces of lobster, the diner gains 90 calories, 1 gram of fat, 296 mg of sodium, and 19 grams of protein. None of the fat derives from trans or saturated fat, so lobster represents a wise food choice. It even contains large amounts of Vitamin A, a beneficial antioxidant and Vitamin B that drives metabolism. With all these attributes, a cold-water lobster tail means “a tender, succulent meat with body giving energy ideal for a healthy seafood choice.”
