If you think you can only get delicious snow crab during “the season,” think again. Because it’s pre-cooked and flash frozen almost immediately after catch. Crab retains its delectable taste and firm texture that can be enjoyed any time of the year. The shell has been cracked and partially removed to make them easy to serve and eat. Just thaw and serve chilled- warm, melted butter optional. Once the snow crab is thawed, be sure to store it in the refrigerator and use the crabmeat within two days.
Packaging – Our snow crab cocktail claws are flash-frozen, glazed, then packaged in 1 lb clear plastic bags for easy freezer storage.
How Much to Order – For a full meal, we recommend one pound per person. As an appetizer, 3-5 claws per person is generally adequate. However, bear in mind that at a party – your cocktail claws will likely receive more attention than other appetizers being served!
Health Benefits:
Snow crab is low in fat and calories, yet high in protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium and iron. It is also a good source of Folate and Magnesium, and a very good source of Vitamin B12, Phosphorus, Zinc, Copper and Selenium. On the other hand, snow crab is very high in cholesterol and sodium.

Ordered with King crab, sockeye (smoked), and prawns, but of all the items ordered, it was the flavor of these sweet wonders that was the most surprising. I love my shellfish, and I eat as much as I can every week, from all over the world, and these were the sweetest tasting claws from a snow crab I have ever had the privilege of tasting. Needless to say, will be a holiday favorite for years to come, and as I had written in my other posts, I cannot stress the efforts Tanner went through to ensure my order was shipped properly and arrived on time in excellent condition. Super pleased with this company, and will be looking forward to hopefully a long customer relationship with them.

I ordered the Alaskan Snow Crab Cocktail Claws. They arrived on the day requested, with tracking information down to the hour when they would be delivered.
They were frozen solid! The price was the extremely reasonable. I order (2) 3lb orders. So I was eligible for the free shipping! They were delicious. Planning on ordering more. Don’t be afraid to order from Tanners!
