Details

Liven up your menu with an impressive seafood bounty fresh from the sea by serving these Chesapeake Crab Connection medium Dungeness crab clusters. Expertly caught, these Dungeness crab clusters are steamed in their shells for a striking presentation with unrivaled freshness. You can season them with your signature blend of seafood spices to delight your guests with a traditional crack-and-eat presentation, or process them in-house to create specialty dishes like crab cakes or cheesy crab dip. Plus, since this crab is naturally lean and low in calories, it is a healthy accompaniment to any meal. Let their natural, delicate flavor shine and keep your guests coming back for more.

Dungeness crab has a sweet, slightly nutty flavor with tender body meat and leg meat that has a firm texture that makes it easy to shred. They are similar to the rock crab, but larger in size, with 4 legs and a claw. Each cluster is roughly 8 oz. in weight, for a total of approximately 10 clusters per 5 lb. case. These crab clusters are cooked and then shipped frozen to preserve flavor and freshness. They can be served either hot or cold, depending on the needs of your establishment. You can hand your patrons some tools and let them pop open these delicious and hearty clusters themselves, or add the meat to soups, salads, and pasta dishes.

For the best results, we recommend broiling, grilling, sauteing, or steaming the crabs. Since these are pre-cooked, you only have to steam, boil, grill, or saute the crab clusters for about five minutes, or until the meat is warmed. Be sure to use this as an opportunity to add some flavor to these crab clusters. Try boiling them with butter and garlic or steaming them with seasonings. A general rule of thumb is that you should have approximately 1 lb. of crab per person.
