When is the blue crab full of flesh?

Female and male crabs

Female crabs spawn from June to August.
After the spawning season, it consumes a lot of energy, so the taste decreases.

In the case of female crabs, they are most delicious when the eggs are full in the stomach.
However, it is illegal to catch female crabs when they are full of eggs, so we do not catch them.

When a female crab gets caught in a net while fishing in the sea, it is immediately released.

The flat stomach is a female blue crab.

So, should we not eat crabs at this time?

It’s not like that. This is the time to eat male crabs.
This is when male crabs are full of white flesh.

Female crabs eat for the taste of the eggs, but male crabs are eaten for the sweetness of the flesh.
You can feel the taste of 100% crab meat in male crab.

A flat belly is a female blue crab.
