Blue crabs are pieces of food used in the Dungeoneering skill. Players can make them by cooking raw blue crabs on a fire or a range at 80 or higher cooking. Blue crabs heal 220 life points when eaten. They are also used as a secondary ingredient in creating level 89 Adept skinweaver pouches.
Blue crabs are too high of a tiered item to be dropped by monsters, but they can appear on the starting table upon entering a dungeon.
Blue crabs may be combined with baked cave potatoes to create a blue crab potato at 83 cooking, and them either used with a gissel or edicap mushroom to create a blue crab & gissel potato (86 cooking) or blue crab & edicap potato (89 cooking) respectively. These combined foods heal many more life points than each individual component separately.
Trivia
- This could be a reference to the real-life blue crab native to the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland in the United States.
- Like all fish in Daemonheim, Blue Crabs never stop burning, even with 99 cooking, though using higher tier branches or cooking them on a range significantly reduces the chance of burning.
- Blue crab is one of the dungeoneering pieces of food(without potato) that cannot be received as monster drop, the other is Cave moray.
