crab claws
Seafood appetizer pieces
Crab claws are the pincers of a crab, prized as food for their sweet, delicate meat.
They're served steamed, cracked, or as appetizers with dipping sauce: We ordered stone crab claws with mustard sauce.
The term also describes claw-shaped items or hand positions mimicking a crab's grip.
