Wild-Caught Canadian Opilio Snow Crab Clusters

Canadian Opilio is the snow crab most seafood lovers already know and love: sweet flavor, delicate texture, and easy-to-crack shells. A cluster is several legs plus a claw on a section of body, fully cooked and frozen, ready to reheat and serve. We carry it in Large, Jumbo, and Colossal grades so you can pick the size that fits your table.

Wild-caught in cold Atlantic Canada.

Our Opilio comes from the cold waters off Atlantic Canada, where the icy North Atlantic helps the crab develop the sweet flavor and delicate texture it is known for. The fishery runs under tightly regulated harvest seasons and quotas to keep the population healthy, and the crab is typically harvested in late winter and early spring when meat fill and quality peak.

Hand-Graded for Premium, Boutique Sizes.

We hand-grade every cluster by size, so your order is true Large, Jumbo, or Colossal clusters with consistent quality throughout. These are boutique, premium sizes, not the mixed smaller pieces that fill most grocery bags.

Naturally sweet flavor, tender texture.

Opilio is prized for its sweet flavor, mild brininess, and tender, almost melt-in-your-mouth meat. That natural sweetness makes it one of the most approachable crab species, and it works beautifully in seafood boils, crab dips, soups, and traditional crab feasts.

Frozen at peak to lock in quality.

The clusters are cooked shortly after harvest and frozen to preserve quality, so what you reheat at home tastes the way it should. We also weigh our snow crab during processing, so you get the exact weight you ordered.

Shipped to your door, ready to serve.

Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, steam about 5 to 7 minutes, and serve with melted butter and lemon. Fully cooked and ready to reheat, these clusters turn a weeknight into a feast with very little work.

Product Info & Our Source

Canadian Opilio snow crab is wild-caught in the cold waters off Atlantic Canada, where the icy North Atlantic gives it the sweet flavor and delicate texture the species is famous for. The fishery operates under tightly regulated harvest seasons and quotas, a well-managed fishery that produces some of the finest snow crab available.

We offer Opilio clusters in three grades. Large clusters run at least 10 oz each (best value), Jumbo at least 12 oz (the middle), and Colossal at least 14 oz (the biggest presentation and largest leg sections). A larger grade means fewer clusters per box but significantly more meat per cluster.

The clusters are cooked shortly after harvest and frozen to preserve quality, then weighed during processing so you receive the exact weight you ordered. Snow crab clusters are naturally fragile, so an occasional broken leg can happen in shipping. It is not as pretty, but the meat is perfectly fine to eat. You may also see occasional shell discoloration or black spots, which are natural from the crab's habitat and do not affect quality, safety, or flavor.

A lean, high-protein, zero-carb seafood choice (just mind the sodium). Snow crab is also naturally rich in selenium and a good source of zinc and B12, with about 6% DV vitamin C, 6% DV calcium, and 2% DV iron per serving. The product is preserved with a saline brine, so rinsing after thawing cuts the saltiness.

Cooking & Serving

These clusters are fully cooked, so you are simply reheating them. Steaming is the best method.

Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
Steam about 5 to 7 minutes.
Serve immediately with melted butter and lemon.

Tip: rinse after thawing to reduce saltiness, since the product is preserved with a saline brine. Do not overcook, boil for extended periods, or microwave large quantities, as overheating dries out the meat and reduces the sweetness.

How much to buy: plan on 1.5 to 2 lbs per person for a full meal, or 0.75 to 1 lb per person as part of a larger seafood feast.
