Summer Crab Pasta Salad

Summer is peak blue crab season. Starting in late spring, blue crabs emerge from their hibernation hiding spots. By late summer, most crabs have already doubled, or even tripled, in size. One of the most coveted bits of the blue crab is the jumbo lump meat. To highlight these large, chunky, buttery crab pieces, we partnered ripe seasonal veggies, summer sausage, al dente pasta noodles, and a creamy-zesty dressing. A perfect pasta salad for potlucks, picnics, or BBQs.

Soft Shell Crab Tacos

Gear up for some sensational Summer flavor (and a splash of spice) with this recipe for Soft Shell Crab Tacos. Fresh-Tex ingredients and grilled soft shell crabs are an inspired combination. An ideal recipe for al fresco cooking. The delicious soft shell crab…mmmmm soooo good…is a Chesapeake Bay regional specialty. As a crab develops, it needs to shed its external exoskeleton shell to grow larger. The crab will wiggle free from its smaller shell and emerge a little larger and much softer. So soft, in fact, that you can eat the entire crab—shell and all!
