Snow Crab Clusters make Crab Cracking Easy!

With the elongated legs, snow crab legs easily crack in half exposing the sweet crab meat.  Known as the Queen Crab, snow crabs enjoy North Atlantic and North Pacific waters. Why are they called “snow crabs?”  Well, it’s because their meat is as white as snow!  Each crab has 4 pairs of walking legs (clusters) and 2 claws for each cluster.  Our watermen pull the mature male snow crab from the deep waters.  Female crabs lay untouched since they help replenish the population.  Crab fans love snow crab legs seasoned with Old Bay and dipped in a spicy crab dip (pictured above).
