From Ocean to Plate: Sourcing and Sustainability of Our Crab

We at Get Maine Lobster have always believed that sourcing matters. Every single Empress Crab Claw that we sell is responsibly harvested from cold Pacific waters with careful consideration of environmentally conscious traceability. These crabs are fished with low disturbance to the environment, so that marine ecosystems can continue to be balanced and healthy for generations to come. 

We work only with trusted fisheries that share our values of sustainability and ethical harvesting. Strict quality standards and full traceability ensure that every crab claw is not only delicious but responsibly sourced.

Our customers care about what they eat, and we care about this, too. Traceability of the Empress Crab exists from ocean to plate, allowing transparency. It is much more than seafood; it is a promise of environmental stewardship and top-notch quality.

Why Empress Crab Claws Are a Chef’s Secret Weapon

Crab claws are one of the finest pre-cooked seafood delicacies and an awesome gastronomic experience.  The benefits of crab claws include the beauty of presentation, ease of preparation, and a rich and diverse flavor profile that both commercial chefs and home cooks love.

Unlike whole crabs that require time-consuming effort and tools to deconstruct, Empress Crab Claws are pre-cut and ready to be plated for impressive presentation. Considering their classy look, they make a good complement for fine dining or party platters. The meat itself is tender but still firm enough such that it can be gently chilled, grilled, steamed, or sautéed without falling apart.

These crab claws hold as much visual value as they do flavor, whether it is for placing on a seafood tower, playing a solo role over lemon-butter pasta, or being scrambled with some warm melted butter. Therefore, professional chefs go for Empress Crab whenever they want a fancy show.
