Steamed Crabs tee by Choptank Supply Co.: a Maryland crab feast shirt for steamed blue crab lovers and crab pickers, in white short or long sleeve.

In Maryland, we take our crabs seriously, and we take them hot and heavy, steamed and piled high in the middle of a paper-covered table. Corn on the cob, melted butter, and a mallet for every guest. These are the only crabs you should be getting close to this weekend, and the only ones you’ll want to share with the whole group.

They’re best handled with care, preferably by a professional with a mallet. Everyone has a story about a crab that got somewhere it shouldn’t have, and everyone agrees the right place for one is the plate. Crabs are at their most bountiful in the summer and early fall, so there’s still time to enjoy them the proper way.

This is the shirt for the people who know the difference. Wear it to the crab feast, the dock, or anywhere you want to make it clear which kind of crabs you’re talking about.

Available in short sleeve and long sleeve, in white, from Choptank Supply Co.
