Soft-shell crabs are caught directly after they have shed their skin. At this point, their shell is still soft, which gives the crab its name. This means that the crab can be eaten whole. In Asian and US cuisine, the soft-shell crab is considered a delicacy and is usually deep-fried or fried in a batter.

Product description

The term soft-shell crab does not refer to a specific species, but to the condition of the crab when it is caught. These unique crabs are caught at a particular stage of their growth, when they have just shed their old shell and their new, soft shell has not yet hardened. This means they can be enjoyed in their entirety without the hassle of cracking the shells.


To protect the product, the crabs are coated with a 20% ice glaze.
