shuler74 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I have always did the all you can eat crabs but recently talking to some people they swear by eating jumbos and that once you do you wont go back to all you can eat. The difference is the cost, so my question is which do you prefer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportjunkie07 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 well we catch our own crabs. id much rather have 4 or 5 big crabs than 8 or 9 smaller ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shuler74 Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 Is it true you can get full from eating 6 jumbos? I just dont think thats possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 If I want a meal to fill me up I go with Alaskan King Crab, if I'm chilling at a harbor there's no other choice - Maryland Blue Crab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 it's definitely possible, Jumbos all the way. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellis Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Steamed Chesapeake Bay Blue Crabs... accept no substitution. NC Blues can't come close to the flavor. And those Asian Blues can't either. There's something about the bay that makes the blue crabs sweeter than others. You know they're ches. blue crabs when you eat em. Nothing compares.

Mr. Sinister Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I like Jumbos. I could eat 6-7 regular sized ones and still come away dissatisfied with the lack of meat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipwhich Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Jumbo's of course, although the industry has gotten a little lenient in what they call Jumbo. All you can eat crabs is junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DButz65 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I could never eat just a few jumbos and be full...but then again I could sit around ALL day and eat crabs, literally! I go to this place a lot..usually $25 per person for all you can eat, sometime $20....sure as hell beats the price of a dozen jumbos http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=100000669410838 Most of the time they are mediums, but are awesome!

dockeryfan Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Jumbos are obviously better than mediums, but to be honest the taste was about the same. Now the absolutely sweetest crabs I ever ate were from the Choptank river. Had em 2x and I swear those river crabs were better than any Chesapeake/NC/Louisiana crabs I ever had.

McD5 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I love snow crab legs, and will now have to eat them tonight after reading this thread. I've never found crabs to be as good, or worth all the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My issue is the location itself. It so damn far away from everything that it takes about half of my gas tank to get to wherever I want to go.

mbws Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 We have a farm store nearby that brings in live Maryland Crabs. 8.99 a dozen for the small ones and 2.99 a pound for the jumbos. Two weeks ago they had run out of the Jumbos so I had to settle for the smaller ones. My wife had her heart set on crabs. They were almost like oversized spiders. I bought her a dozen, but I didn't eat any of them. Too much effort for too little meat. Then last week I went back, and they had the Jumbos. SWEET!!.. I bought 8 of them at a cost of roughly 14.00 and feasted to my heart's content. No question, I will never buy the small ones again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
