Best Crab Claw Recipes: Snow Crab & Jonah Crab Ideas
Crab Claw Recipes: Snow Crab and Jonah Crab
Global Seafoods currently offers two cooked frozen crab-claw products: Snow Crab Cocktail Claws and Jonah Crab Cocktail Claws. This recipe guide focuses on practical ways to serve those two products, from chilled appetizers to soups, pasta, tacos, and crab cakes.
1. Chilled Snow Crab Cocktail Claws
Thaw the cooked claws in the refrigerator and serve chilled with lemon, cocktail sauce, remoulade, or lemon aioli. This is the simplest presentation for Snow Crab Cocktail Claws and works well for seafood platters and appetizers.
2. Jonah Crab Cakes
Remove the cooked Jonah crab meat from the shell and combine it lightly with egg, breadcrumbs, Dijon mustard, herbs, and seasoning. Chill formed cakes before pan-frying so they hold their shape.

3. Garlic Butter Crab Claws
Warm cooked crab claws gently and finish with melted butter, garlic, lemon, and parsley. Avoid prolonged cooking because the crab is already cooked.
See the full Garlic Butter Crab Claws recipe.
4. Jonah Crab Bisque
Prepare the soup base first and add picked Jonah crab meat near the end, heating only until warmed through.
See Crab Claw Bisque.
5. Jonah Crab Chowder
Jonah claw meat works well in creamy chowder with potatoes, aromatics, and herbs. Add the cooked crab toward the end to preserve its texture.
See Crab Claw Chowder.
6. Crab Claw Pasta
Use picked Jonah crab meat in a light pasta sauce with garlic, olive oil or butter, herbs, and lemon. Fold the crab into the finished sauce rather than cooking it for an extended period.
See Crab Claw Pasta.
7. Crab Claw Tacos
Picked crab meat can be paired with tortillas, cabbage, avocado, citrus, and a light spicy sauce.
See Crab Claw Tacos.
8. Crab Claw Sandwiches
Combine chilled picked Jonah crab meat with a restrained dressing and serve in a toasted roll or sandwich.
See Crab Claw Sandwich.
9. Fried Snow Crab Claws
Snow crab claws can also be served with a crisp coating for a warm appetizer. Keep cooking time controlled because the crab itself is already cooked.
10. Crab Claw Sauces
Simple sauces such as lemon butter, remoulade, cocktail sauce, mustard-based sauce, and aioli complement chilled or gently warmed crab claws.
Which Crab Claws Should You Use?
Choose Snow Crab Cocktail Claws when you want convenient cocktail-style presentation and platters. Choose Jonah Crab Cocktail Claws for cocktail service or recipes where you want to pick the meat for cakes, soups, pasta, tacos, or sandwiches.
