Wikipedia
The blue crab (''Callinectes sapidus'', from the Greek ''calli''="beautiful", ''nectes''="swimmer", and Latin ''sapidus''="savory") is a crustacean found in the waters of the western Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Coast of Central America and the Gulf of Mexico. On the Pacific Coast of Central America it is largely ignored as a food source as picking the meat is considered too difficult. It is the Maryland State Crustacean and the subject of an extensive fishery. They can deliver an extremely painful pinch and are noted for being particularly aggressive and difficult to handle safely by novice recreational crabbers.

In your description of the blue crab you mention that the tips of the claws are red, that is only true with the female blue crab, the male crab does not have the red tip claws and as a general rule it is the male crab that is the more desirabe to consume because it has more meat, grows larger than the female and some say the males have more flavor. I would not post the picture you posted of the blue crab because it is all females and in most northern states the harvesting of the female has more restrictions to help preserve the population (I'm not familar with the south). The other way to id a female crab is by the underside apron, it has a triangle shape. Post a picture of Jombo Male Crab, that will get blue crab lovers excited.
