If you have a crab lover 12


I agree with this-6 as an average per person as long as they are xlarge or jumbo. Maybe double if they're smaller.

Marylander who loves crabs and grew up eating them. I generally eat 4-7.

I don't think I've ever seen one person eat 12 at one time but we never get the small ones, so if that's small it makes more sense.

My teen will eat 3-4 and she likes them.

Jumbo - 7-8

Not jumbo - 12-15

I'd just do all you can eat at the restaurant, or if you do carry out, check bushel prices

We get #1’s … my brother and my son eat 12 but they are true MD crab eaters.

The rest of us eat 6 because they are so expensive and it’s just fun.

We were so happy to get back to Cantler’s.


Absolutely no flavor

Ps I pick the extras and use them in omelets the next morning.


Omelets? That's a waste. We pick 'em and make delicious crab cakes for the next night's dinner.


Good for you?

Depends on the size of crabs and what else these is to eat. DH and I easily shave off a dozen large crabs.

At someone else’s house? Does he not have home training? Yikes.

NP. When did PP ever say this was at someone else’s house? Jump to conclusions much? Yikes.

I’d say you need 3-6 per person.

They’re incredibly low in calories (google says less than 300 for 6) so if it’s your main course people may be hungry if you’re not getting more than that or don’t have hearty sides.
