Order 14-16 oz. Snow Crab Leg Clusters

Our 14-16 oz. Snow Crab Leg Clusters arrive at your doorstep with legs attached to the shoulders of the crab, meaning you get to crack into even more sweet meat from these delectable crabs. Snow crabs are “cousins” to Alaskan king crabs, but with pronounced differences. Snow crab legs are longer and thinner than their Alaskan cousins, meaning you’ll still get plenty of meaty goodness from these snow crab leg clusters for your next family dinner night or backyard cookout.

Snow crab meat also shreds more easily than that of the Alaskan king crab, which makes it an ideal choice if you want to add it to some of your favorite recipes, like crab mac & cheese, or mix it with mayo for a classic crab roll. Of course, you can also just whip up some side dishes and serve your crabmeat with butter or tangy cocktail sauce for a traditional New England delight.

Responsibly Harvested Snow Crab Meat

The sustainability of seafood products is an issue deeply connected to Maine Lobster Now, fishing communities in Maine, and coastal communities all across the world. In order to offer you snow crab meat today and in the future, we work only with fisheries that follow all local, federal, and international rules and regulations to responsibly harvest snow crab to ensure continued access to these crustaceans for future generations.

Unmatched Quality and Freshness

Maine Lobster Now sources crabmeat to be the freshest, tastiest it can be for our customers. Caught north of Nova Scotia in Canada and off the coast of Alaska in the Bering Sea, snow crabs are immediately cooked and flash-frozen when brought into the docks. It’s impossible to experience fresher snow crab unless you take a boat out on the water and catch it yourself (which we don’t recommend).

Some legs may break in transit and are not eligible for a refund.

Where Your Crab Comes From

Maine Lobster Now is proud to responsibly source our crab products from regions all over the world. Our snow crab is responsibly and ethically sourced from Canada in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, as well as the Bering Sea off of the Alaskan coast. Sourcing snow crabs from natural habitats allows them to be wild-caught in a manner that does not adversely affect their population or the surrounding ecosystem.

What’s the Serving Size of Snow Crab Leg Clusters?

When ordering Snow Crab Leg Clusters, you should know the weight includes both the hard exoskeleton and the meat inside. So how much food are you actually getting? On average, a snow crab yields about 50% meat to 50% shell. So each snow crab leg cluster provides 7-8 oz. of meat, far more than the recommended serving size of 5 oz.

So our snow crab leg clusters give you more bang for your buck. You get a full serving plus some for leftovers, or to make your own crab cakes. Don’t forget to order some classic seafood side dishes with your crab order. We offer all the necessary kitchen supplies, like lemon, butter, and cocktail sauce, and you can also order delicious corn on the cob to pair with your seafood order. You can really bring all the flavors of Maine home by adding Maine-iac’s Chocolate Whoopie Pies for dessert.

Nutritional Benefits of Snow Crab Meat

Crabmeat is a high-protein meat source that comes packed with vitamins and minerals. Like other shellfish and seafood we sell, crab could be added to the growing list of “superfoods” health experts recommend.

Crabmeat offers a whopping 16 grams of protein per 3 oz. serving. Crabmeat also contains vitamins B12 and C, and the antioxidants zinc and selenium. Zinc helps support bone mass and immune function, while selenium aids in preventing cellular damage. And there’s more. Crabmeat is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help lower inflammation and can reduce the risk of heart disease.

Simple Instructions for Storing and Thawing Snow Crab

We’ll help you maintain your snow crab at the highest quality possible.

  • Keep frozen at or below 0℉.
  • Thaw under refrigeration at or below 38℉.
  • For quick thawing, place frozen package in cool water for 20 to 30 minutes until contents are flexible.
  • Once thawed, immediately use or refrigerate.
  • Do not allow food to warm above 38℉ prior to cooking.

Preparing Snow Crab Is Easy

We’re here to help perfectly cook your snow crab leg clusters, even if this is your first time ordering them.

Snow Crab Leg Clusters are already fully cooked by professional fishermen as soon as they are landed at the dock. Once thawed, you can eat the crab meat straight out of the leg and body portion.

Heating snow crab is easy and fast. To boil:

  • Fill a large pot with water. Bring to boil.
  • Add snow crab leg clusters. Turn heat down to medium.
  • Boil for 4 minutes. If boiling more than 15 legs, cook for 8 minutes.
  • Remove crab from pot. Run under cold water to stop them from cooking further. Overheating or overcooking can ruin meat’s flavor and texture. Plate and enjoy!

You can also steam, grill, or bake snow crab leg clusters.
