Fresh from the Steamers,
Captain’s Jumbo Double Dozen!
When blue crabs reach maturity, they weigh heavier in the crab pots, especially the large, 6”-6.5” and x-large, 6.5”-7”. Molting only once a year, normally in the spring, gives them a new shell to completely fill with salty-sweet crab meat. With the infrequency of molting compared to the younger crabs’ 8-20 times, the meat becomes compact or dense.
Crab fans notice the textual difference. Salt water doesn’t seep into the crab’s density as much, so jumbo crabs boast a more robust, buttery meat rather than sweetness of a younger crab. They bear the name JUMBO for their measurements from point-to-point and the size of the backfin or jumbo meat. Also, a bonus picks from the claws (claw meat) and crab halves (lump meat). Either for a fun time with a Family Crab Feast or careful picking for that favorite recipe, a jumbo dozen will do ‘ya!
Show your Chesapeake Bay cuisine know-how. Get the butter warmer ready and dip the two backfin chunks perfectly in a pool of clarified butter! Meanwhile, home chefs frequently use the lump for crab cakes and claw for Maryland Crab Soup. Bartenders take the blue crab to a sensational level by dropping the two chunks in a vodka martini with pizzazz, while Crab Depot creates ‘Restaurant Style Cakes” with the jaw-dropping impressive backfin meat.
