Does the chicken used for bait for Maryland blue crabs have to be fresh to attract crabs?

Answer 1

Crabs tend to prefer cordon bleu with a rice pilaf and side of steamed asparagus, along with a tall glass of Chardonnay. For dessert, try a lime sorbet or raspberry cheesecake. The more rotten, smelly and bony the chicken is, the better.

Answer 2

Not really. But do you really want to eat something that's been eating rotten chicken?

And did you know that blue crabs eat zebra mussels???

Answer 3

not necessarily, crabs are carrion eaters.
