Faqs

1. How much does the shipping cost?

You can use our online order form to get a shipping quote, just enter the zip code of the address you want to ship the crab cakes to and all of our items will have shipping prices shown.

2. Why is shipping so expensive?

We have to ship overnight, and the reason we have to ship overnight is because we ALWAYS ship fresh crab cakes, NEVER frozen. In our opinion, nothing beats a freshly made product, and this is especially true when it comes to crab cakes. Crab meat has a high water content and thin cell wall, so freezing causes the expanding water to break the cell walls which results in a soggy crab cake. In order to save $$$ in shipping costs, some of our competitors will freeze their crab cakes and ship them 2nd day, but we feel it is well worth the money to have a fresh crab cake vs. a frozen one.

3. Do your crab cakes have filler in them?

Our crab cakes have a small amount of bread crumbs in them to help hold the crab cake together.

4. What kind of crab meat do you use?

We use all Jumbo Lump Blue Crab meat.

5. Do you make your crab cakes in advance?
