It is found in the Chesapeake Bay and served at a restaurant named Mikes Crab House. I believe that Delaware or Maryland has a blue crab that is edible?

What makes something a certain color is it's ability to reflect a certain color of light and absorb the rest. So something purple reflects purple light, which is a color on it's own because it is a color of the visible light spectrum. It absorbs both red and blue light, just like grass absorbs both yellow and blue light and refelcts green. I don't know the answer to the question, but I have always heard that there are no foods that are naturally blue, and I mean foods, not something that may be edible but people don't eat. There could be, but think about it and if there is most people don't eat it often. Oh, and yes, lobsters can appear blue but they turn red when you cook them in order to make them food and not an animal and we are not talking about naturally blue animals.

It is better that they absorb it, so they evolved not to reflect it. Since very few naturally occurring foods are blue, we also have very few artificial foods that are, because we don't associate blue with food and food producers assume that it would be off-putting. Note that these are just my theories. I welcome any better suggestions!

Even if it takes BLUE to make PURPLE, it also takes RED to do so! BLEU Cheese is NOT naturally occurring.
