snow crab
Cold-water leg meat
Snow crab is a species of crab harvested commercially in cold North Atlantic and North Pacific waters.
The legs are the prized part, sold fresh, frozen, or as clusters.
Snow crab meat is sweet and delicate, slightly less rich than king crab: We ordered snow crab legs with drawn butter.
