![]() Soft Crabs Direct brings you fresh frozen crabs direct from the Chesapeake Bay. Shedded in our processing plant from peelers, they are quick frozen to bring you the best the bay can offer. We are pleased to be offering our soft crabs for mail order to individuals and to restaurant and wholesale buyers. Soft blue crab is a special delicacy produced under the watchful eye of a "crab shedder." Blue crabs shed their hard shell in preparation for growth by breaking free from the old shell, swelling up and hardening. To capture soft-shell blue crabs, hard blue crabs ready to molt (called "peelers") are held in water filled trays until their old exoskeleton has shed. Soft, newly emerged crabs are carefully cleaned, wrapped and packed for shipment. To see how our operation works, click here. Frozen soft-shelled crabs will retain excellent quality for 6 to 8 months. All online orders placed through our secure SSL server will be handled with efficiency and care. Orders processed by 2pm EST Mon-Thus will arrive on your doorstep the next day via UPS Next Day Air shipping. We will also accept orders by phone or fax. Sorry out of soft crabs, check back in May 2008
