Chef's note: Gumbo crabs are simply blue crabs that are used to flavor soups, stews, and gumbos in Louisiana. They are typically the smallest crabs in the catch, graded “gumbo crabs” because they are not large enough to command the highest price in a fisherman’s catch. That said, any fresh or frozen blue crabs can be substituted for gumbo crabs.
