Live Snow Crab
About this item
A whole crab, delivered alive in an oxygen-filled pack so it reaches the kitchen in prime condition. The long legs carry sweet, delicate meat that pulls away in generous strands, and every shell is checked before packing so there is no empty weight. Steam it simply, salt-bake it, or chill the legs and serve them as sashimi. Cooking it whole keeps the legs juicy; crack them at the table and serve with drawn butter or a light soy dip.
