Bulk & Bushels — Wholesale Maryland Blue Crabs
Buying by the bushel — or by the truckload? Volume pricing for restaurants, caterers, and big private crab feasts. The more you order, the better the per-crab rate.
Volume Pricing at a Glance
| Order Size | Best For | What You Get |
|---|---|---|
| 2+ bushels | Mid-size crab feasts (15-25 people) | Volume discount off retail |
| 5+ bushels | Caterers, big parties (40+ people) | Better per-crab rate, custom grade mix |
| 10+ bushels | Restaurants, big events, wholesale | Wholesale pricing tier |
| Standing order | Restaurants, regular accounts | Recurring delivery rate, priority sourcing |
We don’t post specific prices because the catch varies daily — but volume orders always price better than single-bushel retail. Call for a quote and we’ll lock it in by phone.

How Bulk Orders Work
- Call us with the basics. How many bushels, what size mix, when you need them.
- We quote on the spot. Volume tiered pricing — the more you take, the better.
- We lock in pickup or delivery. Date, address, and any special instructions.
- We pull the day of. Your batch is graded, packed, and ready for pickup or delivery within hours of the catch.
- Standing accounts get priority. Recurring orders get first pick during peak season.
Custom Size Mixes for Bulk
For multi-bushel orders we can tailor the grade mix:
- All-#1 males for high-end restaurant menus
- All-female for picking-party caterers
- 50/50 #1 + #2 for casual big crowds
- Mixed males + females for mixed-preference events
- Sized for crab cake production (smaller, denser meat)
Tell us what you’re cooking for and we’ll grade accordingly.
