This crab is available in various forms, including Jonah Crab Leg Meat, Jonah Crab Cocktail Claws, delicious Jonah Crab Roll Kits, Jonah Crab "Triple Scores" Claws, and we even use this delectable meat in our in-house Jonah Crab Cakes. Call us biased, but us New Englanders LOVE Jonah Crab.
Domestic Alaskan Snow Crab
The two primary species of snow crab are the Opilio crab (Chionoecetes opilio) and the Tanner crab (Chionoecetes bairdi). These species are often collectively referred to as snow crab, and they are harvested for their sweet and delicate meat, primarily in the northern Pacific Ocean and the Bering Sea. Both Opilio and Tanner crabs are popular seafood choices known for their delicious flavor and versatility in various culinary dishes.
Why Do We Sell Bairdi Snow Crab Clusters?
Opilio crab is smaller and easier to find, while Bairdi crab is larger, sweeter, and has a firmer texture. When most people think of snow crab, they are actually referring to the easier-to-acquire Opilio crab. Bairdi crab is known for its bigger size, flavor, and texture, and is considered a more premium option compared to Opilio crab. To ensure we offer the best product to our customers, we conduct a blind taste test with our team. Out of 12 employees, 10 select Bairdi crab, confirming that the extra cost is justified. We are dedicated to offering the highest quality products to our customers, particularly to those who may not have access to these unique items in grocery stores and because of this, we chose Bardi Snow Crab Clusters for Maine Lobster Now.
