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 a smooth, wide, hard shell. These crabs 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 crabs 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 crabs for about 6-8 minutes, or until the meat is warmed. Be sure to use this as an opportunity to add some flavor to these crabs. 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.
