Flavor Profile
Snow crab meat has an innately slightly sweet, slightly salty flavor that creates a wonderful culinary contrast — especially when you add a lemon. While many prefer king crab, snow crab is considered another high quality, more economical option with its own unique flavor.
Cooking Tips & Recipes
Do not refreeze. These claws are already cooked — simply reheat and enjoy.
Either place bag in refrigerator overnight, or run claws under cold water to thaw.
These claws are perfect when steamed — but avoid boiling! Hot water leeches out the rich flavor of the crab, and tempers the natural taste. Simply reheat and serve with butter and lemon. To easily expose crab meat from the shell, grasp one pincher in each hand and gently pull apart. One will stay stationary and the other will easily tear away from the claw leaving the meat intact.
COMPARE SIZES
We love our snow crab claws so much… we brought in a bigger size! (the 12-16 count are on the left / 21-30 count on the right)
Crab Sizing
King Crab leg sizes are determined by the number of legs that make up 10 pounds. Like many other seafood products, smaller numbers = larger products. For king crab, sizing will impact both the diameter (thickness) and length of the legs.
For instance, our Jumbo 12-14 legs means that 10 pounds would have between 12 and 14 legs (plus some additional claws). Claws are included in each package of legs, but both the number and size differ with each package. There are both large and small claws, because the crab uses a giant killing claw and a small feeder claw in nature.
Industry standard – weight increments are ‘overfilled’ to account for weight associated with the glaze (layer of ice on each leg, used for preservation)– in practice: our 2 LB bags will weight MORE than 2 LBS. Photos of 2 LB bags posted on each item should accurately reflect the number of legs/claws present in each package. Claw counts and sizes will vary, but feel free to add preference notes when you check out. While we will always try to meet your requests, we are at the nature of this truly wild product.
