Snow Crab Clusters

Keep refrigerated and cook within 1 day of purchase. Can be frozen raw or cooked, but texture may be slightly affected upon thawing.

Thaw frozen crab clusters in the refrigerator overnight for best results.

Steam, boil, or grill snow crab clusters until they are bright red and the meat is opaque and cooked through.

Serve with lemon wedges and melted butter for a classic preparation.

Melted butter (plain or with garlic and herbs)

Lemon wedges

Cocktail sauce

Corn on the cob

Potatoes

Coleslaw

Overcooking the crab, which can make the meat tough and rubbery.

Boiling in water for too long; steaming is often preferred to retain flavor.
