Handy 5 1/4" Jumbo Soft Shell Imported Crabs - 48/Case

Details

Bring the bounty of the sea to your tables with these Handy 5 1/4" jumbo soft shell imported crabs! In the crystal-clear waters of South East Asia, Mangrove crabs (Scylla Serrata) are expertly raised with size and sustainability in mind. These fat crabs live in floating boxes to avoid contact with the bottom and are fed until it's time for them to naturally molt. Once they shed their hard outer shells, these soft shell crabs are harvested, fully cleaned, individually weighed, and finally flash frozen for freshness. The result is plump crabs with more white meat and large, meaty claws - a gourmet addition to your seafood menu! These soft shell crabs are renowned for their sweet, rich flavor, and tender texture. Because they're meticulously weighed, you can count on consistent sizing from Handy's soft shell crabs. These jumbo crabs weigh between 3 and 3.9 oz., offering great plate coverage and a truly luxuriant experience that your guests are sure to remember!

Soft shell crabs are an essential item on your seafood menu. Thanks to their soft shells, every part of the crabs' bodies is edible, so there's no picking required. These popular shellfish are typically a seasonal delicacy, but Handy's Mangrove crabs are available year-round, allowing you to offer this profitable delicacy all the time! These frozen crabs arrive at your door fully cleaned with the stomachs removed for even cooking - all that's left for you to do is thaw and prepare. Dredge these crabs in seasoned flour, then pan fry them until they're crispy and golden, approximately 5 minutes per side. You can even deep fry them for an extra-crispy end result! Once your crabs are fried, there are a wide variety of serving options. Serve them on their own for a gourmet entree, or create a delicious surf and turf meal by serving a fried crab with a perfectly seasoned steak! Create a Maryland-style soft shell crab sandwich by serving a crab on a fluffy bun with tartar sauce, lettuce, and a thick tomato slice, or serve a crab on French bread to create a soft shell crab New Orleans-style po' boy sandwich. No matter how you choose to serve them, these jumbo soft shell imported crabs will quickly become a fan favorite on your menu!
