Fresh Dungeness Crab Meat

Is the crab meat cooked?

Yes. Picked Dungeness crab meat is cooked and ready to eat straight from the container.

Could there be shell in it?

It's hand-picked with care, but a small piece of shell can occasionally remain. Check it gently before using.

What can I make with it?

Crab cakes, salads, pasta, dips, sandwiches and crab cocktail. Handle it gently to keep the lumps intact.

How should I reheat or serve it?

Our crab ships cooked, except frozen soft shell crab, which is cooked from raw. Cooked crab only needs a light steam if you'd like it warm. Steam it for about four to six minutes, or wrap it in foil and heat in the oven, and avoid overcooking. It's also delicious served chilled. Serve with melted butter and lemon.

How should I store it, and how long will it stay fresh?

Refrigerate it as soon as it arrives and enjoy it within a couple of days. You can freeze it for longer, though texture is best when it's fresh. See our Care & Prep guide for details.

How much should I order per person?

For legs or clusters as the main course, start with 1 to 2 pounds per person. For picked meat, crab cakes or appetizers, you'll need less.

When will my order ship, and when will it arrive?

You choose your delivery date at checkout, and we ship your order overnight the day before. Because we only ship Monday through Thursday, delivery is available Tuesday through Friday, so your seafood never sits in a carrier facility over the weekend outside its 48-hour freshness window. Available delivery dates may vary with our seasonal store hours.

How is it shipped?

Overnight only — since fresh seafood has a strict 48-hour safety window once it leaves our store in Seattle. Continental U.S. orders ship via FedEx Priority Overnight or UPS Ground Overnight, depending on your location. Local customers in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho are eligible for discounted UPS Ground Overnight rates. See our full shipping rates by region ->

Do you ship to my address?

We ship to residential and business addresses across all 48 continental states, plus Alaska and Hawaii at a flat rate. We're unable to ship to PO boxes, FPO, or APO addresses.

What if my order arrives damaged or spoiled?

If your order arrives spoiled or you receive the wrong product, contact us within 14 days of delivery. We're not able to accept returns once an order has shipped, so if there's an issue, please reach out to us right away.
