The crabs in Maryland have long been known to be some of the best in the world. However, not everyone lives in Maryland, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the world-famous blue crabs that come from that area. You simply go online and have the crabs shipped straight to your door so that you can enjoy them from the comfort of your own kitchen. If you are going to be ordering crabs however, you probably should know what it is you are ordering. For more information on the best time to eat certain crabs, hard or soft shelled, read on below.
Hard Shelled Crabs
The crab season in Maryland starts in April and ends in December. Crabs that are served in April and early May are the ones that have been shipped in from other places or crabs that have dug themselves down into the mud in Maryland to get away from the winter cold.
June, July, and August seem to be the most popular months to eat crabs, but September and October are actually the best time for hard shells as they are the sweetest and the largest at that time.
Soft Shell Crabs
Soft shell crab season tends to run from mid-May through September in Maryland. Soft shell is a delicacy so the best time to order them and have the crabs shipped to your home is anytime you can get them of course. Either of these, hard shelled or soft shelled crabs are delicious no matter what time of year you order them.
When you have your crabs shipped you are guaranteed they will come to you cold, fresh, and ready to cook or eat, according to what you ordered. For more information on getting your crabs today, contact Harbour House Crabs today.
