Storage

Keep frozen Dungeness crab in your freezer at 0°F or colder for up to three months in the packaging. Once defrosted, store the crab in the coldest part of your refrigerator (between 33°F and 35°F) and consume it within two to three days. Do NOT refreeze crab that has been thawed, and discard any that has been left at room temperature for over two hours.

Preparation

• Defrost: We recommend that all frozen Dungeness crab be defrosted by placing the product in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours, depending upon the density. Never force-thaw a product by running it under water (hot or cold), as it can cook the product. Not only does this reduce the flavor, but it is also a health hazard.

• Clean: To clean Dungeness crab and prepare for eating or additional cooking, rinse well and place in a pot of boiling water just enough to heat them thoroughly. Be careful not to over-steam them, or they can become tough and rubbery.

Serving

Classically served whole, either hot or cold, and paired with melted butter or dipping sauces. Dungeness crab has a distinctive, sweet flavor and tender, flaky white meat. This shellfish also pairs well with a variety of seasonings and sauces in seafood stews, soups, appetizers, and main dishes, like classic San Francisco Cioppino, creamy crab cakes, or garlic-herb pasta. 

All product processing is completed in USDC (United States Department of Commerce)–inspected facilities and follows HACCP (Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points) protocols.
