We love crab meat recipes so much that we decided we needed to put together a roundup of 28 of the best ones!

Although we are from Maryland and crabs are in our blood, you really don’t have to be a Marylander to love them too!

You’ll Love These Crab Meat Recipes!

Not only are they SO tasty, but if you’ve ever been lucky enough to partake in a crab feast you know that there’s nothing like it!

The hammering, breaking, and showing off the big pieces you’ve worked so hard to get makes it all the more rewarding.
