Albino Crab

Type: Tidal
Region: Southern
Location: Severn River

My wife and I were crabbing on the Severn River Tuesday afternoon when we caught a partially albino blue crab. Most of his claws, legs, and one flipper were completely white with minor tan fleckling. Yet his right merus, fourth leg, and left flipper were their normal color. Interestingly, his 6" carapace was so dark green that it appeared almost black. He was completely healthy and lively otherwise�and tasted great!
