The story behind Order Crabs begins with a deep-rooted connection to the Chesapeake Bay and a passion for sharing its bounty. Years before the business changed hands, one of the current owners spent his summers working for the original company, first in high school, then through college at the University of Pittsburgh, eventually accepting a full-time role. Years later, while working in sell-side transactions at Link Business Brokers, his cousin saw the company listed for sale. Recognizing the unique opportunity and niche market, the two cousins and their father took the chance to gain the business and carry the tradition forward.
What they brought with them was not just industry knowledge, but a hands-on approach and a strong commitment to delivering live blue crabs, shipped fresh, and an authentic Chesapeake experience.
Ensuring Quality for Your Crab Cake Delivery
Running a seafood business comes with its share of unpredictability. Tides, storms, and mechanical failures can disturb even the most intentional plans. But for the family behind Order Crabs, the key has been focusing on what they can control. At the heart of their operation is a simple but powerful principle: customer obsession.
By staying focused on product quality, customer experience, and attention to detail, they’ve handled daily hurdles while maintaining an unwavering standard. This dedication supports their reputation for providing the best crab cake experience, every time.
An Early Adopter in Crab Cake Delivery
What truly sets Order Crabs apart is that they adopted online seafood sales early on. This business was among the first to offer nationwide shipping of fresh crab cakes and blue crabs. Today, that early approach continues to grow and improve.
As a small, family-owned operation, every order is touched by the owners themselves. This direct involvement means that quality is more than a promise; it’s a hands-on commitment. With no fillers, no shortcuts, and jumbo lump crabmeat in every bite, their lump crab cakes deliver the true taste of crab cakes from Maryland right to your kitchen.
