These are real USA blue crabs β€” the kind worth cracking open. Every single one is checked by hand. Three times. So when you crack the shell, there's actually something inside.

Why our male blue crabs are different:

  • Hand-graded 3 times: We check every crab by hand before it ships. No hollow crabs. No surprises.

  • Fresh, never frozen: Your crabs go from the water to your door β€” not a freezer.

  • You pick your delivery date: Choose the exact day you want them to show up. No guessing.

  • Free shipping on orders over $300

Great for: Crab feasts, birthdays, family gatherings, or just finally getting the real thing again.

Sizes available: Small, Medium, Large, XL, and Supers

Order today and get real blue crabs shipped straight to your door β€” heavy, fresh, and ready to steam.

*In rare cases, crabs may arrive partially frozen if shipping takes longer than 48 hours. They're still safe and delicious.

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 moreβ€”all wild-caught and hand-selected for top quality.
