Preparation

How to reheat steamed crabs— Put the steamed crab in a pot with about 2 inches of water. For added flavor, add about a cup of vinegar or beer. Reheat them for no more than 8 minutes, over the boiling water. Also, use a rack at the bottom of the pot to lay the crabs on, to help them reheat well. You can also reheat previously steamed blue crab in the microwave. Place a damp paper towel over them to keep them moist and cook on high for 1 to 2 minutes or warm them in the oven for approximately 10 minutes at 375 degrees. ENJOY!

"My last order of steamed crabs were the best crabs I have had in a long time. When I opened the box, I was really surprised to see how well they were packed - like a picture. They were also very tasty and heavy as I requested. My wife also loved them. Many thanks to you all at Crab Dynasty." -Robert of Cranford, NJ

How many crabs are in a bushel?

SIZE	SHELL DIMENSIONS	NUMBER OF CRABS IN A BUSHEL (Approximate)
Standard Crab	five to five and a half inches	84
Large Crab	five and a half to six inches	72
Jumbo Crab	six to six and three quarter inches	60
Colossal Crab	six and three quarter inches and above	48

How many crabs should I order for each person?
If steamed crabs will be served along with other food, about six crabs per person. If you will be eating crabs solely as your main course, then you can plan for approximately eight to a dozen crabs per person. Generally, a bushel of large sized crabs can feed about eight persons. * Please keep in mind that these numbers are "approximate" and are intended to help you determine a ballpark number of crabs to order.
