Object history: “The Atlantic blue crab is a common sight in both the coastal waters and finer restaurants along the eastern seaboard of the United States. The meat of these crabs is highly prized so these creatures are heavily fished to meet the demands of the seafood industry.. It is rather easy to pick out the female blue crabs, such as this one, because the tips of their claws are colored bright red.” The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, IMCPL Digital Collections.
