I think that for the most part, crabs from NJ to southern MD are practically the same. The salt levels in the water (I would imagine...no factual info here) would be relatively equal. This to me would produce the same crabs. I would have to say that it would be a better judge of quality if it is done by region. Again that is just IMO.

I'd tend to agree Carl, having never experienced the taste of a blue crab outside of GA state lines, I don't feel I could vote anyways. That and they forgot us Georgians... LOL

All I know is, if it's in my trap, it's in my steamer... (cleaned beforehand of course... LOL) To me, crabs caught in Tybee Island (North GA) taste the same as St Mary's river (South GA) as they do all places I trap in between.

Mine have a very "clean" & "beautiful" taste right away coming "fresh out of the water" in my FL area(s), guys. Huh Along with that, I can practically get a "fresh, soothing & crispy" (when requested) taste out of the Blue Crab combined with the Stone Crab combined with another Crab combined with something else, such as Fish or Shrimp or another FL island dessert of so many. Cool

Maybe it's more about the "cook" & how he makes his meals, rather than on Crab just tasting like dirt/sand because it "vacations" in an area of dirt/sand, right? Lips Sealed

The Fishing,  Stone Crabbing & everything else combined are what makes me wanna give the most credit to FL for having the best tasting Blue Crab, period!

I can see where you're "hanging" from and, all considered, I'd pretty much just "credit" FL for them. Afterall, no place "hanging" better to them than FL, especially on the far Gulf Coast, so... Kiss

Had some "southern" crabs for superbowl sunday....They were full and packed..BUT.. you could def. tell the difference between them and a MD crab.....warm water crabs have a slightly "fishy" flavor compared to the northern crab. jmo

I've noticed fishy taste in crabs from many places when they are caught in pots. I think it's from them being in close proximity to the rotting fish that the pots are baited with. I realize the fish used are usually fresh but how long does it stay fresh in relatively warm water?

          WELL--- I have to give the Gulf Coast / Louisiana my vote.  
       Because it's the only crabs I have eaten and boiled in some
       spicy seasoned  H2O  is hard to beat.   ( NOT  STEAMED )  
       Never had steamed but I must say I would like to try some  
       steamed oneday to make a judgement.  
            Crabbing and crabs all year round --- a great blessing
       for Gulf Coasters.  
             SORRY --- never eaten crabs from any where else to
        make a comparison ------  going with what I know.
