A Family Vision for Fresh Blue Crab
The story of OrderCrabs.com began with a connection deeper than business. One of the co-owners had spent seven years working for the original owners during his high school and college summers, eventually moving into a full-time role after graduating from the University of Pittsburgh. When the business was listed for sale, the opportunity felt personal. With firsthand experience, a niche market full of potential, and a shared entrepreneurial spark, the trio—father, son, and cousin—made the leap and acquired the company.
Operating in the seafood industry means facing the unpredictable daily. From storms to shifting tides to equipment breakdowns, the team at Chesapeake Crab has seen it all. But they’ve learned to focus on what they can manage: quality, consistency, and customer care. Their customer-first approach fuels every decision, and it’s the reason their loyal customers continue to come back.
Live Blue Crab Delivered: Fresh from Maryland’s Waters
In an industry where freshness defines flavor, OrderCrabs.com’s logistics model sets a high bar. Their streamlined, temperature-controlled supply chain ensures live crabs are shipped the same day they’re caught, arriving at peak quality. This precision is no accident—it’s the result of decades of hands-on experience and continuous process refinement. Unlike mass distributors, the OrderCrabs.com team personally inspects each crab, ensuring only the vigorous, full-bodied specimens make it into customer orders. This attention to detail not only preserves the signature sweet taste of Maryland crab but also replicates the experience of a traditional Chesapeake crab feast.
What truly sets OrderCrabs.com apart is its legacy. This business was one of the first to sell blue crab and fresh seafood online, making these coastal delicacies accessible beyond Maryland and Louisiana. Today, they continue to refine their systems and uphold strict quality standards. As a small, hands-on team, the owners oversee every stage of the process—from selecting the crabs to packing and shipping—helping customers receive the freshest product possible.
