Product Description

Named for Washington’s Dungeness Spit, this crab is known for clean, sweet meat with a subtle nutty finish. It’s a versatile staple: fold into fresh pasta or risotto, build crab cakes, finish bisques, crown a crisp salad, or keep it simple with warm butter and lemon.

Because the flavor is naturally delicate, light seasoning goes a long way. Serve warm for comfort or chilled for a refined platter, either way, it’s a West Coast classic that consistently delivers.


How is the seafood kept fresh during shipping?

Every Direct Seafood order is packed in an insulated cooler with ample dry ice to maintain frozen conditions during transit. Each portion is individually vacuum-sealed to preserve freshness and ensure ease of storage.

When your shipment arrives, the seafood should be fully frozen. Immediately transfer it to your freezer. Any remaining dry ice should be handled with care—either dispose of it using the instructions provided or allow it to dissipate by closing the cooler lid.

Shipping & Delivery Options

All our crab is fully cooked and ready to enjoy once thawed. Please follow the specific instructions below based on the type of crab you received:

STONE CRAB CLAWS (Off-Season Flash-Frozen)

  • Upon Arrival: Unpack immediately. If you plan to serve them within 24 hours, transfer them directly to the refrigerator to thaw. Otherwise, store them in the freezer.
  • Thawing: Thaw the claws overnight in the refrigerator. Do not thaw at room temperature or under hot water.
  • Storage & Best By: Once thawed, keep refrigerated at 38°F or below and consume within 1 to 2 days. Do not refreeze after thawing.
  • Serving: Stone crab is fully cooked and best served cold. Use a mallet or cracker to break the shells.

DUNGENESS CRAB (Chilled or Thawed)

  • Storage (Chilled): Keep refrigerated at 38°F or below and consume within 1 to 2 days of arrival or by the package date.
  • Reheating: To enjoy warm (like in a boil or with butter), steam the crab sections over boiling water for 4-6 minutes. Do not boil or microwave, as this can dry out the meat.
