By accessing or using our Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to all of these Terms, do not use the Site.

Cooper's Crabs is a family-owned, small-batch crab stand located at 1005 Shore Acres Rd, Arnold, MD 21012. We sell fresh, live Maryland Blue Crabs by the bushel and half-bushel to customers in the greater Anne Arundel County area. Our website serves as an informational resource and contact point for customers. We do not process online payments or fulfill orders for shipping — all sales are in-person, pickup only.
We also offer crab feast catering services (steaming included) when Jimmy Cooper is hired for private events. Please contact us directly to inquire about event availability and pricing.
All orders are subject to daily availability. Live crab inventory varies based on catch conditions, weather, and seasonal factors on the Chesapeake Bay. We strongly encourage customers to call or text ahead at 443-867-0271 before making a trip, especially for large bushel orders.
Prices for crabs and related products (including J.O. Spice seasoning and gift certificates) are subject to change without prior notice based on market conditions, supply, and seasonal demand. Prices displayed on the Site, if any, are estimates and may not reflect the current day's pricing. Please confirm current pricing by calling us directly.
All orders must be picked up in person at our location: 1005 Shore Acres Rd, Arnold, MD 21012. We do not offer delivery. We are not responsible for any order that is not picked up within a reasonable timeframe agreed upon at the time of the order. Crabs are perishable — please arrange pickup promptly.
Due to the perishable nature of live Maryland Blue Crabs, all sales are final. We do not accept returns or issue refunds after crabs have left our stand. If you have a concern about the quality of your order, please contact us immediately at the time of pickup before leaving our location. We stand behind the quality of every bushel we sell and will do our best to make it right on the spot.
Gift certificates are non-refundable and non-redeemable for cash. They may be applied toward crab purchases during the crab season (approximately May through November).
From time to time, we may offer raffles, giveaways, or other promotions on our Facebook page or through other channels. Participation in any such promotion is voluntary and subject to any additional rules posted at the time of the promotion. We reserve the right to cancel, suspend, or modify any promotion at any time without notice. No purchase is necessary to enter any raffle unless explicitly stated. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received. All decisions made by Cooper's Crabs regarding raffle winners are final.
