About the Blue Crab:
The Atlantic blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) is found throughout estuaries, bays, and coastal waters from Nova Scotia to Argentina. Its Latin name translates to "beautiful savory swimmer" — a fitting description for this strikingly colored, commercially important crustacean. Blue crabs are a cornerstone of coastal ecosystems and culinary traditions, especially along the Chesapeake Bay and Gulf Coast.
