Additional Information
Snow white, edged in coral red and impossibly tender, snow crab is the quiet aristocrat of the crab world. Where king crab is bold and Dungeness is nutty, snow crab is pure and delicate: a clean, natural sweetness, a whisper of the sea, and meat so fine it seems to dissolve on the tongue. We pack whole pieces
of leg meat, not shreds or trimmings, in a glass jar with nothing but the crab’s own juice, so what you see through the glass is exactly what you will taste.
Our snow crab comes from icy depths where the water stays close to freezing all year round. Cold water grows slow, and slow growth builds the sweetest, most tender meat. The crab is taken with baited traps in a carefully managed fishery that keeps only mature males and returns everything else to the sea. The legs are cooked, shelled by hand and sealed in the jar with their natural juice, then gently pasteurised. No chemical preservatives, no added water, only a touch of salt.
Open the jar and serve it as it is, with a squeeze of lemon and a little melted butter. Fold it into a warm pasta, crown a salad or a soft omelette, or lay it beside a spoon of caviar for the most luxurious pairing the cold sea can offer.
