Snow Crab

Chionoecetes opilio

The Snow Crab (Chionoecetes opilio) is special for its sweet, delicate flavour and fibrous, tender texture, making it a highly prized seafood delicacy. Unlike King Crab, its meat is slightly firmer and has a mild, briny taste that pairs well with various seasonings. Snow Crabs are known for their long, slender legs filled with flavourful meat, which is easy to extract and enjoy. Found in the cold waters of the North Atlantic and North Pacific, they are harvested sustainably using traps.
