What Do Blue Crabs Taste Like?
Blue crabs have white meat that is mild and salty in flavor. This meat is also delicately sweet, which adds to its appeal. Backfin meat is notably treasured because it has unrivaled flakiness and tenderness compared to other crab meat varieties. While blue crabs have the texture of a scallop, they also have a juicy, rich, buttery flavor.
Here Is How You Tell Apart Male From Female
The male crab can grow to at least eight inches within a year, and their meat tends to have a flakier consistency than the flesh of a female blue crab. Meanwhile, female blue crabs often tend to be smaller, so their meat tends to be more dense.
