Product Details:

The Gulf of Maine is home to Jonah Crab. For years, lobstermen despised them because they worked their way into the lobster pots to steal the bait. Once freed from the traps they were tossed back into the Atlantic under a shower of curses. Finally, someone had the sense to take them home and put them in the pot.

Turns out that the crabs were delicious, and a cottage industry sprung up in Maine steaming, picking and selling their meat. And it turned out that the larger ones had nice juicy claws that gave the coveted Stone Crab claws from Florida a run for their money (at about half the price).

Today, Jonah crabs have found their niche in the marketplace, and with increasing popularity. Landed fresh year-round, they are harvested inshore and offshore by lobster boats. Their flaky, sweet meat is rich and often compared to the flavor of its Pacific cousin, the Dungeness. Larger crabs are selected especially to be sold as “cocktail” claws, which is the entire arm and claw attached, about 6 to 8 pieces to the pound. They are steamed and frozen immediately to trap it is sweet, ocean flavor – and are ready to be eaten and enjoyed once thawed. Serve them with some tangy seafood cocktail sauce, aioli, hot sauce, or even some drawn butter like you would lobster. Once you crack open the Jonah crab, prepared to be hooked!

Thawing Jonah Crab Claws: When selecting your delivery date for our Jonah Crab Claws, please remember they are shipped frozen, and you will need approximately 24 hours to let them thaw. The most effective way to do this is by placing them in the refrigerator for one day prior to enjoying. If you need them faster, you can thaw at room temp for a few hours, and if you need them right away thaw under running cold water.

Yums!

Everything about these crabs is just so good. We devoured them as quickly as we could stuff our faces. Having them pre-scored made eating much easier. The flavor was, as usual, sweet and fresh. We just can't get enough of these.

A stuffed quahog that has significant quahog meat

I'm from Southeastern Massachusetts, dug quahogs, and made stuffed quahogs. There are many versions of stuffed quahogs in the region and this represents one of them. I made the stuffing differently but once again this depends on preference. The key is you can taste the quahogs. They were delivered frozen and easy to cook. If you have never tried a stufed quahog I suggest you give this one a try.

Super Fast, Easy, and Delicious!

I have loved your company for years! It's always delicious and just what I need when I need it! I always make sure to get the Lobster Rolls, my only regret is I don't order enough to last LOL I will be ordering again next week and this time a double batch! The Tails are Fabulous as is the Lobster Mac - Everything I have ever ordered is incredible and the packing is perfect as there are times I don't get home until late and everything is still frozen to perfection!
