ALASKA SNOW CRAB

Chionoecetes opilio & chionoecetes bairdi

Alaska Snow Crab is a premium shellfish prized for its sweet, clean flavor.

We offer both Opilio and Bairdi species. Strict quality standards ensure our crab has clean and bright shells, excellent meat fill that does not stick to the shell, a sweet flavor profile that is never too salty, a tender texture, and clean shoulder sections. The natural flavor profile requires very little to enhance it - simply thaw clusters and serve cold or re-heated with melted butter and lemon.

  • Clusters are fully cooked and brine frozen

  • Sizes: 5/8, 8up, 10up, and 12up

  • Case size: 1/30 lb

  • Vendor managed stock programs available

Wild-caught in the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska

Alaska fishermen catch Opilio and Bairdi Crab using pots during the coldest months of the year. The live catch is delivered to Dutch Harbor for processing by our sister company, Unisea.

Sustainable Sourcing

The Alaska Snow Crab fishery is tightly managed for sustainability and follows a strict quota system. To protect the future populations of crab, only males that meet the required size criteria are harvested.
