The peak season for Maryland Blue Crabs is from April to the end of November. The biggest, heaviest crabs are typically harvested during the fall months (September to mid-November).
In December, as the weather cools down, crabs from the Chesapeake Bay head towards the warmer waters. During this “off-season,” we offer either flash-frozen Maryland Blue Crabs or “Maryland-style” Blue Crabs from North Carolina and Louisiana. Take this delicious, plump meat and learn how to make crab cakes here.
