With a reputation of only sourcing the World’s Best Seafood, we are pleased to announce we will now be selling both Canadian Opilio AND Alaskan Bairdi species of Snow Crab! While both species are equally delicious, they do have distinct differences that make the enjoyment of either species unique.

CrabPlace.com snow crab legs make excellent hors d'oeuvres served whole or in sections with drawn butter for
dipping. Allow at least two per guest.
Our snow crab clusters for sale are cooked at sea where they are caught and flash frozen aboard the fishing vessels to protect their flavors. Frozen cooked crab legs may be steamed or microwaved. Place them frozen over boiling water and steam them covered tightly for 6 minutes. Or place the frozen crab legs in the microwave covered with a damp towel and heat on defrost for 5 minutes. Brush with melted butter, season to taste and serve with cocktail sauce.
Important Facts About Your Snow Crabs
The appearance of the shell is often the result of the natural habitat the species is sourced from. Sometimes the shell appears discolored or has black spots on it. All of this is natural and does not affect the quality or delicious taste of your snow crab.
After the Crabs are caught, they are cooked and cooled, and then dipped in a saline brine before being flash frozen. This saline brine helps seal in the moisture and freshness to preserve the best taste. It is recommended to rinse off your Crab legs to help reduce the saltiness in the flavor.
