Click to zoomSnow Crab Clusters (Frozen - Newfoundland)
What it is
Cold-water snow crab clusters from off Newfoundland — thinner shells than king crab, and sweet, delicate meat that slips out clean in one piece.
How we handle it
Cooked and frozen at their peak, stored solid, sold by weight. Prepacked clusters vary in size, some above a pound and some below.
How to cook it
Steam six to eight minutes from thawed and serve with drawn butter and lemon. No further cooking is needed. Steaming mussels, clams and crab.
Good to know
Minimum quantity is from 1.5 lb and above. Snow crab is easier eating than king crab — the shells crack by hand and you do not need shears.
