Though landlocked, Denver boasts a surprising number of high-quality seafood markets and specialty grocers that source fresh catches daily from both coasts.

Large blue crabs, often flown in overnight from the Atlantic or Gulf Coast, can be found at select retailers who prioritize quality and sustainability.

Whether you’re planning a crab boil or simply craving the taste of the ocean, these trusted spots bring coastal flavors to the Mile High City.

Here are 5 top places in Denver to find large blue crabs and premium seafood:
