Crisfield, MD (PRWEB) April 09, 2016 -- Forget the traditional first full moon in May. Due to this year’s mild winter, soft shell crab season in Crisfield, MD has arrived early and the Handy plant is ready for a bountiful harvest. Handy Seafood, an innovative leader in the crab industry, has been processing the “Best Taste from the Sea” for over 100 years.

Soft Shell Crabs are an integral part of Crisfield, Maryland’s rich seafood culture and Handy is proud to be a part of that history. Handy’s plant has been based in Crisfield since 1903, even though the company started in 1894, the quality seafood standard has never wavered. This in part is due to the families that consistently work in production of the soft shell crab season.

"We are proud to have traditions that span generations of watermen and families in our plant. Parents pass on their knowledge to children and in some cases to grandchildren, enabling Handy to continue with teams that are passionate about seafood and how to properly handle it,” said Terry Conway, CEO of Handy Seafood Inc.
