Steamed Crabs: Experience the Best at Cravin’ Crabs
Why Baltimore is the Heart of Crab Country
Baltimore and blue crabs are almost synonymous. With the Chesapeake Bay at our doorstep, Baltimore has long been a haven for crab lovers. The bay’s brackish waters create the ideal environment for producing sweet, tender crabs that have become a staple of Maryland’s culinary identity. Locals and visitors flock to the area each season to savour what’s often hailed as the best crabs in the country. At Cravin’ Crabs, we’re proud to be part of this tradition, bringing the freshest catches to your table or home.
The Difference Between Live and Steamed Crabs
When it comes to crabs, freshness is everything. At Cravin’ Crabs, we offer both live and steamed crabs, giving our customers the choice to enjoy them exactly how they prefer.
Live Crabs are perfect for those who love the hands-on experience of cooking. Whether preparing a family feast or putting your twist on classic recipes, live crabs allow you to control every aspect of seasoning and cooking. They’re also notable choices for clients, like backyard crab feasts, where the process is just as much about the experience as the flavor.
Meanwhile, Steamed Crabs are all about convenience and immediate satisfaction. At Cravin’ Crabs, we expertly steam each order to perfection, using our house blend of seasoning that brings out the meat’s natural sweetness. Steamed crabs arrive hot, juicy, and ready to crack open and devour, saving you the time and effort of preparing them yourself.
Each option offers unique advantages, depending on the occasion and personal preference. And because we steam to order, you can rest assured that you’re getting the absolute best quality available whether you choose live or steamed.
Customer Experience: Live vs. Steamed Crabs
Our customers love the flexibility that Cravin’ Crabs provides. Some traditionalists swear by live crabs, preferring the personal touch of seasoning and steaming at home. For these customers, the live crab experience is a family ritual bringing everyone together over a boiling pot and the spicy aroma of Old Bay seasoning.
However, most of our customers prefer our steamed crabs’ convenience and unbeatable flavour. Regulars rave about how our steaming process locks in the juices, delivering succulent, perfectly seasoned meat every time. For families, parties, or those spontaneous “crab cravings,” having freshly steamed crabs ready to eat is a game-changer.
Across the board, customers appreciate the quality, consistency, and freshness they find at Cravin’ Crabs, no matter which option they choose. Many even mention in reviews how our crabs taste “like summer memories,” a testament to our dedication to traditional, authentic flavours.
