Pacific Coast Rock Crabs are known for their large claws with sweet, tender meat
Each order contains 12 frozen, glazed claws ready for your culinary creations.
Rock crabs are caught along the Pacific Coast for their oversized crusher claws, which contain sweet, delicate meat. While the crab bodies are small, the claws are disproportionately large and meaty, making them ideal for recipes calling for crab meat without the work of processing whole crabs. Rated a "Good Alternative" by Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch.
