How Much Meat Do You Get from Bairdi Crab Leg Clusters?

When ordering Bairdi crab leg clusters, remember that the weight includes both the shell and the meat inside. On average, these delicious snow crab legs yield approximately 50% meat. A single cluster of Bairdi crab legs provides about 6-7 ounces of succulent crab meat, exceeding the recommended serving size of 5 ounces. This makes our snow crab legs a fantastic choice for those who want more meat for their money.

With generous portions, you’ll not only enjoy a hearty serving but might even have enough leftovers to create homemade dishes like crab cakes. Pair your meal with classic seafood sides such as lemon butter, cocktail sauce, or corn on the cob for an unforgettable dining experience. For dessert, indulge in a sweet treat like Labadie’s Bakery Original Maine Whoopie Pie to round out your meal.

  1. Storage: Keep frozen at or below 0°F.
  2. Refrigeration Thawing: Place under refrigeration at or below 38°F.
  3. Quick Thawing: Submerge the sealed package in cool water for 20-30 minutes until flexible.
  4. Usage: Once thawed, cook or refrigerate immediately. Avoid allowing the food to warm above 38°F before cooking.

How to Prepare Snow Crab Legs

Our Bairdi snow crab legs arrive fully cooked, expertly prepared by fishermen right after being landed at the dock. This means you can enjoy the crab meat straight from the shell after thawing or heat them for a warm, delectable meal.

Boiling Bairdi Snow Crab Legs

  1. Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil.
  2. Add the snow crab leg clusters and reduce the heat to medium.
  3. Boil for:
    • 4 minutes (for up to 15 legs).
    • 8 minutes (for more than 15 legs).
  4. Remove the crab and run them under cold water to prevent overcooking. Overheating can compromise the texture and flavor.

In addition to boiling, you can steam, grill, or bake your snow crab legs for a variety of delicious options. Each method is simple and ensures the natural flavor of the crab shines through.
