What is a bushel of crabs?

A bushel of crabs typically contains around 6 to 7 dozen crabs, depending on the size of the crabs and the specific region where they are sourced. Crabs are typically sold in bushels for convenience and are often steamed or boiled before consumption. Some popular types of crabs that are sold in bushels include blue crabs, Dungeness crabs, and snow crabs. Bushels of crabs are commonly enjoyed at seafood boils and crab feasts, where they are served with melted butter, Old Bay seasoning, and other condiments.
