Fresh Whole Blue Crab – 1kg

Blue crab is incredibly fun to cook and eat. To get the absolute best out of your yengeç, try these popular methods:

The Ultimate Crab Boil: Fill a large pot with water, add a generous amount of sea salt, lemon halves, garlic head, and a classic seafood seasoning blend (like Old Bay). Bring to a rolling boil, drop the whole crabs in, and cook for 10–12 minutes. The shells will turn a brilliant, appetizing orange-red when ready!

Garlic Butter Sauté: If you chose our Cleaned & Halved option, toss the crab pieces directly into a hot wok or pan with melted butter, crushed garlic, a splash of white wine, and fresh parsley. Cook for 6–8 minutes until the meat inside the claws is sweet and opaque.

We believe in managing expectations with natural, wild-caught delicacies:

Yield and Weight: A 1kg pack typically contains between 4 to 6 whole blue crabs, depending on the daily catch sizes.

The Eating Experience: Eating whole crab is a wonderfully hands-on, social experience! While breaking the claws requires a bit of effort (and a crab cracker or nutcracker), the reward is the prized, sweet lump crab meat inside. 

A Nutritional Powerhouse: Beyond its exquisite taste, Blue Crab is an excellent source of high-quality protein, Vitamin B12, and Zinc, making it a healthy yet luxurious addition to your diet. Its unique flavour profile is unmatched by any other crustacean, offering a 'melt-in-your-mouth' texture that is highly sought after by gourmet chefs.

All shellfish demand strict temperature controls. At Seafood Xpress, we pack your blue crabs inside specialized insulated boxes surrounded by heavy-duty ice packs, keeping them at a perfect 0°C 4°C until they reach your kitchen.
