About Chesapeake bay crabs
Chesapeake Bay crabs, a culinary staple of the Mid-Atlantic region, are prized for their sweet, delicate meat and connection to the area's rich seafood heritage. Often steamed and seasoned with iconic Old Bay spices, these crabs are a flagship ingredient in Maryland-style cuisine. Nutritionally, they are an excellent source of lean protein and pack essential nutrients including vitamins B12 and A, selenium, and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health and cognitive function. Low in fat and calories, they are a healthy choice for most diets, but be mindful of sodium levels if heavily seasoned. Crab dishes may also include butter or mayonnaise-based accompaniments, which can elevate cholesterol and calorie counts. Whether enjoyed as lump crab meat, crab cakes, or freshly cracked at a crab feast, Chesapeake Bay crabs bring flavor and nutrition to the table while embodying a long-standing regional tradition.
