Preparing Cooked Snow Crab Legs is Easy

Snow crab is sweet, tender, and delicate with a clean flavour. Fully cooked and shelled — just gently warm or serve chilled.

Quick Prep Method

Ready in 4 minutes
  1. Melt butter in a pan over low heat. Add garlic and cook briefly until fragrant.
  2. Add snow crab meat and warm gently for 1–2 minutes - you’re just reheating.
  3. Finish with lemon juice, season lightly, and garnish with herbs. Serve with toasted bread, over pasta, or in a roll.

Storage

  • Keep frozen at -18°C (0°F) or lower until ready to use.
  • Avoid moisture exposure.
  • Store thawed product in the refrigerator (3°C) and consume within 4 days.

Thawing

  • Overnight: Puncture packaging and place in the refrigerator on a plate 8-10 hours before cooking.
  • Quick: Seal in a plastic bag and submerge in cold water for 20-30 minutes.

Tips

Be gentle when patting dry to keep the meat tender and juicy.
