Includes: 8 ounce container(s) of delicious hand picked Jonah crabmeat, cooked and ready to eat right out of the package. NOTE: It is most cost effective to select "two eight ounce containers" rather than ordering multiple one ounce containers.

About the Taste

Maine crabmeat is Togue's favorite seafood. Yes: you read that right.

It's super mild, tender and sweet.  If you're used to strong-flavored crabmeat, this will be a revelation. In fact the flavor is so delicate and pure, we recommend a simple preparation (like straight out of the tub). Togue usually eats it with just a little mayonnaise and maybe a splash of lemon juice and a dash of celery salt. Or drizzled with butter and lemon. An open faced crabmeat sandwich is an amazing breakfast. No matter what you do with it, you should try at least one bite straight out of the tub. It's pure ocean deliciousness.

Please note: it's $50 for one container or $75 for two containers.  Also, please note we do NOT recommend mixing fresh and frozen seafood in the same order as it will impact the quality of one or the other.

The Source

Eight ounce tub of premium fully cooked hand-picked Maine crabmeat, picked by Port Clyde Fresh Catch in Port Clyde Maine, the easternmost groundfishing port in the U.S. Lobster may be Maine's best-known seafood product, but we'll take crabmeat over lobster every time. The only drawback is how long it takes to pick the meat, but fortunately you don't have to worry about that:  we're offering hand-picked crabmeat in 8 oz containers.  

Rock crab and Jonah crab are a "bycatch" product of the lobster fishery - they're caught in traps along with the lobster.  This crabmeat is hand picked, and since hand picking crabmeat is laborious and difficult, your tub may contain a few stray bits of shell so be sure to look it over before you chow down.

Why you'll love it

This crabmeat is picked within 24 hours of shipment: you can't get fresher crabmeat anywhere.  

Do you like lobster rolls?  Try a crab roll (while you're at it you should also try a pan-seared scallop roll). This delicious fresh crabmeat should be great for 2-3 days after you receive it as long as you keep it very cold.  This delicate crabmeat is picked and then shipped within 24 hours. You won't find fresher crabmeat anywhere.

How to Store

Crabmeat is one of the most perishable of all the items we ship. Please plan to consume within 3 days of receipt, preferably 2.  And we don't recommend freezing it.  While many people do that, Togue doesn't like the change in texture and flavor.   Please note you should NOT combine fresh crabmeat and frozen items in your order as the dry ice needed for frozen items will freeze the crabmeat.
