Crabs are graded by size, relative to points across the backs of their shells. Selects measure between 5 and 5 ¾ inches across, with 6 dozen crabs per bushel.
Premiums measure 5 ¾ to 6 ½ inches, with 5 dozen per bushel. Colossal crabs measure over 6 ½ inches from point to point, and are only sold in dozen
quantities. Jumbo female crabs measure 5 ¾ to 7 inches across, with 5 to 6 dozen crabs per bushel. Mixed female crabs are not graded by size, with approximately
7 dozen per bushel.
Cleaning and Preparing live blue crab:
First, If crab is alive, kill it by placing a heavy knife over its belly lengthwise and hitting the knife with a mallet to cut through the crab.
Place your crab on a table, belly-side up. Pull off triangular-shaped belly flap, or "apron.", then turn over and remove shell by inserting your thumb
between body and shell at rear of crab and pulling shell up. Twist off claws and legs. Use a nutcracker or small hammer to crack open the leg shells. (1/2
bushels and bushels of crabs receive free crab mallets and crab seasoning). Pick out meat with a lobster pick, fork, or tip of a crab claw. Use a spoon to scoop
out crab meat and roe (also called "crab butter") from the inside of the shell. Keep the roe or discard it, depending on your preference. Pull off the spongy
gills and small paddles at the front of the crab and discard. Use a knife to cut the crab's body in half lengthwise and then into quarters, if desired, or simply
snap the body in half. Pick out meat.
