How many medium female blue crabs should I order?

Order about four to five crabs per person if serving them alongside other food or about eight to ten medium female crabs per person as a main course. A bushel of crabs can feed approximately eight people. All of our blue crabs are ship in an insulated cooler, and we recommend 1 day shipping for the freshest crabs possible. 

How do I reheat steamed crabs?

Add two inches of water and 1 cup of vinegar or beer to a pot and bring to a boil. Place the crabs on a rack over the boiling water for 8 minutes. Alternatively, you can reheat steamed blue crabs in the microwave. Place a damp paper towel over the crabs and cook on high for 1 to 2 minutes. Lastly, you can reheat steamed crabs in the oven for approximately 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
