Preparation & Serving

Prepare and cook thoroughly using the instructions supplied with your order. Cooking time varies with crab size and method; shell color alone does not establish doneness. Serve with lemon and butter or use the cooked meat in your preferred dish.

Live Crab Handling

Inspect the shipment on arrival, follow the supplied live-crab handling instructions and cook promptly, ideally within 24 hours. Keep the crab in breathable packaging and out of fresh water.

Please note: We ship Dungeness crab live and take precautions for safe transit. Because live seafood is sensitive to transportation conditions, we cannot guarantee that every crab will arrive alive. Contact our customer service team promptly if you have concerns upon delivery.
