Blue Crab is a great meal. There are some things you should know when buying and preparing crab. Do not buy or cook dead blue crabs. You can buy blue crabs either raw or cooked in the shell.

Under no circumstances should live blue crabs and cooked blue crabs touch each other. Live crabs may contain bacteria that could contaminate the cooked crab.
