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.

Crabs
"I received my order right on time. They were packed very good and still nice and cold. I ordered a dozen large male crabs. I was surprised that they were actually large. I ate 6 so far, they were full inside. Only thing they didn't have much seasoning on them. But, that's okay because i just added old bay and they were fine"
This was our first time
"This was our first time getting crabs from Chesapeake Crab Connection and they were amazing. It was worth the drive from York. Customer service, time, and quality of crabs was excellent. We ordered large and they were meaty. We also liked the seasoning and will return."
Totally fabulous! True to size;
"Totally fabulous! True to size; none broken and beat up! You’re able to enjoy every single crab. Large lumps of crabmeat that can be dipped in butter are incredible."
Absolutely STELLAR Crabs
"The extra large male heavy steamed crabs arrived perfectly packaged with detailed instructions on how to reheat. They were indeed heavy and succulent, we steamed them and they were glorious just as is. We embellished with them with butter and apple cider vinegar and I highly recommend Chesapeake Crab Connection for their quality, fast shipping and extraordinary attention to detail."
"The crabs was good but i ordered heavy males and received females. I was so looking forward to enjoying my males blue crabs. #feelingdisappointed"
