Understanding #1 Blue Crab vs. Other Blue Crabs
Blue crabs are a popular seafood delicacy, known for their sweet, tender meat. When purchasing blue crabs, you’ll often hear terms like “#1” or “jumbo,” which refer to specific classifications based on size and condition. Here’s a breakdown of what distinguishes #1 blue crabs from others.
#1 Blue Crabs
Also known as “Jimmies,” #1 blue crabs are the largest and meatiest males. They typically have shells measuring 5.5 inches or more across. These crabs are prized for their full, succulent meat, making them ideal for dishes where crab is the star, such as crab cakes or steamed crab feasts.
Other Blue Crab Classifications
#2 Blue Crabs
These are smaller males, often called “medium” or “select” crabs. While still flavorful, they have less meat compared to #1 crabs.
Female Crabs (Sooks)
Female crabs, or “sooks,” are generally smaller and have a different flavor profile. Some prefer the taste of female crabs, which can be slightly sweeter.

" Really great food, spicy but not overkill. Plus they sell fresh seafood from the gulf every Saturday! The crawfish and shrimp are the best! We buy the shrimp and devein them, then freeze them in packages of 20. There is literally no fresher seafood in this city. "
