These decorative crabs make a great addition to your
nautical theme. Lifelike Maryland blue crab replicas look
great hanging on the wall of your home, restaurant, or
business. Hang these plastic crab ornaments with some
fishnet and seashells, or place them with other beach decor.
Choose from natural blue (live) or red "steamed" crabs that
look like they just came from a crab house! They are painted
to look just like Maryland blue crabs, from the claws to the
underside. Each crab ornament comes with an attached wall
hanger. Please note these are not toy crabs - they are hard,
ornamental crabs with pointed edges (just like a real crab).
They're made for displays, crafts, and nautical themes.
Note: The size is the
measurement across the
outside of the legs, not the
body of the crab.

PLASTIC BLUE CRAB REPLICAS
BLUE CRAB FACTS:
The blue crab is found in the waters of the western Atlantic
Ocean, the Pacific Coast of Central America, and the Gulf of
Mexico. It is the Maryland State Crustacean and is very
popular for eating. "Hard crabs" can be found in many crab
houses along the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland and Virginia.
A male blue crab is called a "Jimmy". He has a long, narrow,
"T" shaped apron and prominent blue-tipped claws.
An immature female blue crab is known as a "Sally" or "She-
Crab". She is easily identified as having an inverted "V" or
triangular shaped apron. Her claws are red-tipped.
A mature (adult) female blue crab is called a "Sook" to
watermen - she is identified as having an inverted "U" or
bell-shaped apron and also has red-tipped claws.
The origin of the blue crab hue stems from a number of
pigments in their shell, including alpha-crustacyanin, which
interacts with a red pigment, astaxanthin, to form a
greenish-blue coloration. When the crab is cooked, the
alpha-crustacyanin breaks down, leaving only the
astaxanthin, which turns the crab red-orange.
