At Blue Crab Trading Company you can order Premium Blue Crabs steamed or live. Our steamed crabs come with  light, medium, heavy, or no seasoining and can be eaten cold or reheated. Our live crabs are caught daily direct from our own fleet of crabbing boats. We directly transport our fresh catch to our state of art crab houses and internet shipping department. We ensure freshness they are then shipped overnight direct to your door in less than 24 hours.

Blue Crab Trading Company boasts the largest grading scale in the business, at an affordable price. We measure our crabs on the 1/2 inch point to point on scale. We have not lost our "Old Maryland" crab grading standards. Many crab houses have been forced to abandoned this scale as it has become difficult to catch Extra Larges and Behemoths.
