To us, nothing says summer like fresh Maryland blue crabs. So to usher in the season, we turned to Fresh Direct – their new Maryland Blue Crab Party Pack delivered everything we needed to throw ourselves an authentic family-style blue crab feast – right in our own backyard, and without all the work. Fresh Direct’s Maryland Blue Crab Party Pack includes a dozen steamed and seasoned crabs, brown paper, mallets, and crab bibs. We served it with a side of sweet steamed corn. It’s only offered for a limited time – now through July 6, 2015 ($39.99, serves 3-4) – so grab some friends, a cold brew, and get cracking! Share your own Fresh Direct Blue Crab Party with #FDGetCrabby

We served some fresh out of the wrapping:

And steamed others for 8 minutes with some beer (you can also use vinegar):
