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

You may have recently perused a menu and various chef specials highlighted blue mussels. Seafood paella with white gulf shrimp, saffron rice, garden-fresh bell peppers, and Prince Edward Island mussels will feed the entire family. Looks like the chef may have collected a huge mussel catch. Creamy white wine garlic linguine heads the pasta choices. Slightly chewy, but oceanic fresh with a brief mushroom like undertone describes the mussel’s taste. Sauces and spices coat the mussel with complementing flavors. Garlic butter makes the mussel more tender and nutty. White wine’s fruity, but oaky flavor finely splashes the mussel’s pallet with a salty then sweet oceanic blast. Harvested all along America’s northeastern coast and even into Central America, blue mussels win favor with chefs. Rhode Island receives the honors for USA’s ultimate blue mussel catch, while Canada’s Prince Edward Island leads the world with over 80% of cuisine’s mussels coming from this “mecca.” Even Chile harvests this bivalve mulluscs for seafood recipes.

Not only do blue mussels taste exquisite in a dish, but they have some “body friendly” nutrients. If you suffer from achy joints or a high blood pressure reading, the high levels of potassium found in mussels will help alleviate it. Bursting with protein, in fact, 20 grams per a 3 oz. serving, they give you energy through a bustling day. The mussels’ habitat helps in developing this healthy meat. Wading through intercoastal regions, an avid fisherman can find mussels sticking to rocks, docks and any plank within a water flowing current. Moving around with a small “foot” or growth from the shell and syphoning water throughout the shell, mussels search out salty water with a rush of fresh water mixing within it. Sweetness comes from a less saline area, but the oceanic blast in a mussel’s meat comes from the salt water. Both are necessary, along with the nourishment. Using their filters, they digest plankton and detritus in the water. With about 5 years in life-span, they develop a meat necessary for a well-rounded diet!
