Fresh- Red Crab Scored Claws & Arms 1lb

FRESH Atlantic Red Crab Scored Claws and Arms, wild-caught in the deep, cold waters of the North Atlantic and landed live in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Fully cooked and sold shell-on. One portion is 16 oz (1 lb).

Each piece includes the whole red crab claw and attached arm section, with sweet, tender meat inside both portions. The shells are pre-scored to make them easier to crack open and enjoy. The claws and arms contain some of the most prized meat in the crab, offering a rich, naturally sweet flavor and an impressive presentation for entertaining.

Perfect for Cocktail Hour and Raw Bars – Serve Atlantic red crab claws and arms chilled alongside cocktail shrimp, raw oysters, littlenecks, lobster, and other shellfish. They make an excellent addition to a seafood tower, raw-bar platter, holiday spread, or cocktail-hour appetizer. Pair them with cocktail sauce, melted butter, mustard sauce, lemon wedges, or your favorite seafood dipping sauce.

Easy to Serve – These red crab claws and arms arrive fully cooked and ready to enjoy. Serve them chilled, at room temperature, or gently warmed. To serve hot, briefly steam them or warm them in garlic butter. Avoid overcooking, which can dry out the delicate crab meat. Seafood picks or small forks can help remove the meat from the scored shells.

Health Benefits – Atlantic red crab is a lean, protein-rich seafood that is low in saturated fat. Crab also provides beneficial omega-3 fatty acids and essential nutrients such as vitamin B12, selenium, and zinc. The FDA includes crab on its “Best Choices” list of seafood options that are lower in mercury.

Responsibly Harvested – Atlantic deep-sea red crab (Chaceon quinquedens) is caught using baited, cone-shaped traps placed on the ocean floor. This small New England fishery primarily targets male crabs and is federally managed through vessel permits, gear requirements, and annual catch limits designed to control harvest.

Did You Know? – Atlantic deep-sea red crabs live along the continental slope in cold, dark water approximately 650 to nearly 6,000 feet below the ocean’s surface. They range from Nova Scotia to North Carolina and inhabit smooth, silty seafloor as well as rocky underwater canyons. Their claws and arms hold sweet, tender meat with a naturally delicate flavor.

Landed in New Bedford – Our wild-caught Atlantic red crab is landed live in New Bedford, Massachusetts, one of America’s most historic working waterfronts. These shell-on, pre-scored claws and arms offer an authentic New England seafood experience with less work at the table.
