What Types of Crab Do We Offer?

Different types of crab have their own flavor, texture, and best uses.

Dungeness Crab A Pacific Northwest favorite, Dungeness crab is known for its sweet, delicate flavor and tender meat. Enjoy whole Dungeness crab, fresh crab meat, crab cakes, and other specialties depending on availability.

King Crab King crab is prized for its large pieces of rich, flavorful meat. King crab legs, claws, clusters, and parts make an impressive centerpiece for holidays, celebrations, and seafood feasts.

Snow Crab Snow crab has sweet, delicate meat that's easy to enjoy straight from the shell. Serve it simply with warm butter and lemon or incorporate the meat into your favorite seafood dishes.

Our selection may also include specialty crab products, gift packs, and other varieties depending on current availability.

Dungeness Crab vs. King Crab vs. Snow Crab

Not sure which crab to choose?

Choose Dungeness crab if you want a classic Pacific Northwest favorite with sweet, delicate meat.

Choose King crab when you want large, impressive pieces of crab meat for a special dinner or celebration.

Choose Snow crab for sweet, tender crab that's easy to crack, share, and serve as part of a larger seafood feast.

There isn't one "best" crab—the right choice depends on the flavor, presentation, and meal you're planning.

How Much Crab Should I Order?

The amount of crab you'll need depends on the type of crab, whether you're buying whole crab or legs and clusters, and what else you're serving.

For crab legs or clusters served as the main course, approximately 1–2 pounds per person can be a useful starting point depending on the amount of shell and the appetites of your guests.

For picked crab meat, crab cakes, appetizers, or dishes where crab is one of several ingredients, you'll generally need less.

Check individual product pages for current sizes, quantities, and serving information when planning your order.
