For over 130 years, the Handy brand has been synonymous with premium seafood products. Today, we continue to deliver the same commitment to excellence that made us an industry leader.

The Handy brand encompasses an extensive range of premium seafood offerings. Our extensive variety of handmade crab cakes, premium crab meat, ready-to-cook soft crabs, unique shrimp appetizers and innovative keto-friendly, plant-based and gluten-free products, all maintaining our commitment to natural ingredients and outstanding flavor.

 

For over a century, Handy Seafood has been a name synonymous with quality and tradition. In 2016, we introduced the Crab House® brand to offer that same commitment to great-tasting seafood with exceptional value.

Crab House was developed to be a value-priced solution for both home cooks and foodservice professionals. This brand delivers a line of delicious, affordable seafood products that don’t compromise on flavor or our trusted standards. It’s our way of making delicious seafood more accessible, so you can enjoy quality crab cakes, minis, and more, whether you’re serving a family dinner or a restaurant full of guests.

With the Crab House brand, you get the benefit of Handy Seafood’s long-standing expertise. Quality, flavor, and value—that’s the promise of Crab House.

 

A Match Made in Maryland: Handy Seafood and Old Bay®

For over 130 years, Handy Seafood has been committed to bringing you the best. And when it comes to seasoning our seafood, there’s only one legendary flavor we turn to: Old Bay®. Their iconic blend of 18 spices is the perfect complement to our premium crab, and shrimp products. This isn’t just a partnership; it’s a perfect pairing of two Maryland originals.

Our relationship with Old Bay goes beyond just using their legendary seasoning. In 2022, we teamed up to create a line of products that combine our quality seafood with the unmistakable flavor you love. Look for our co-branded Old Bay Crab Cakes, Old Bay Crab Minis, and Old Bay Breaded Shrimp in a grocery store near you.

This partnership represents a natural alignment of two brands deeply rooted in Maryland’s seafood heritage. OLD BAY’s 75-year legacy of distinctive seasoning perfectly complements Handy’s commitment to premium seafood products.

Together, we offer authentic Chesapeake Bay flavors combined with convenient preparation methods, delivering trusted quality and innovative seafood solutions to our customers.

From home cooks looking for premium seafood products to food service professionals seeking efficient yet delicious kitchen solutions, our brand portfolio delivers the quality and flavor you expect from Handy Seafood.
