As many as will fit in the bushel basket. Bushels are a measure of volume. When you are talking about fruit, it figures out to 35-45 pounds of fruit, depending on the variety. With crabs it depends on the kind of crab (if you are talking King Crab, only one - if you can get it to stay in the basket) and the size of them.
That depends on the size and species of crab.....if it's King Crab, maybe 5, if it's Dungeness or Opelio or Snow Crab, they're not as big, so you'll get a lot more in a bushel.....but after having King Crab Legs last night, I'd go with the King Crab......Enjoy!!!
