The MeatEater Podcast · Ep. 905: The Life of a Crabber · 20 Jul 2026 podcast

But you mean like you're in Maryland.

You think you're in like blue crab country.

You're probably eating a Venezuelan blue swimmer crab.

What?

If you buy something.

There's a chance you are, but if that crab cake is less than $35, there's a good chance it's not from this country.

So we, you know, in our area, right, in Maryland, a lot of the Eastern Shore, a lot of those lower grade crabs would all go to pick and house, right?

And then those crabs are getting sold generally by the pound of the pick and house, and then they are

picking those crabs by hand and pasteurizing the meat.

And then that used to be the crab meat market.

Right.

And so that gave us something to do with every crab that came over the rail.

But nowadays it's not, you know, it's not really like that.

So I, you know, I wanted the retail spot to be able to kind of control my own market a little bit.

Um, you know, my theory is, like I said, you can only kill a crab one time.

You may as well get it.

Well, it's worth the most.

And, um,

you kind of have to have value added to the product, I think.

So I think the name of the game going forward for the future of the industry is getting the most amount for everything that comes over the rail.
