Frozen Russian Opilio Snow Crab

Product Overview These are wild-caught frozen snow crabs (also known as Tanner crab, Bairdi crab, long-legged crab) harvested from the cold North Pacific waters off Russia’s Far East coast. Immediately frozen alive on fishing vessels at ultra-low temperature to lock the original freshness of live crab. Each whole crab weighs 1kg–1.2kg with long sturdy legs stuffed with plump, flaky sweet meat. Mild ocean flavor with no fishy aftertaste, it is a premium signature ingredient for Japanese sashimi, Western high-end cuisine, hotel banquets and private restaurants, available for retail and bulk catering wholesale. Core Advantages 1. Wild Caught in Cold Pristine North Pacific Deep Sea Harvested in frigid, unpolluted Russian offshore waters. The long growth cycle in low-temperature seawater makes the crab leg meat firm, layered, tender and naturally sweet. Low fat, high protein and rich in authentic seafood umami, far superior in texture compared to farmed crabs.

Live-Onboard Blast Freeze for Maximum Freshness The crabs are frozen instantly right after being caught alive at sea, with full cold-chain logistics throughout the supply chain. No repeated thawing during transit perfectly preserves juiciness and tender texture. After proper defrosting, the eating experience is nearly identical to freshly landed live snow crab.

Intact Whole Crab for Upscale Food Presentation Complete body and unbroken long legs deliver premium plating effect for restaurant serving. Uniform weight specification ensures stable quality for commercial kitchen use, consistent presentation for every dish.

Storage & Defrost Guidelines 1.Storage: Keep airtight and frozen at -18℃, shelf life 18 months. Avoid repeated thawing and refreezing. 2.Thawing: Defrost slowly in refrigerator for 8–12 hours. Never use hot water or room-temperature soaking, which causes watery, mushy flesh. 3.Cooking Tip: Light thaw only for raw sashimi consumption; steam for 8–10 minutes for cooked dishes. Overcooking will shrink and dry out the crab meat.
