Frozen Whole Russian Hairy Crab

This frozen hairy crab comes from the deep sea waters of Russia. Its shell is covered with fine dense hairs, the body is full and thick, and there is plenty of meat inside.

It is blast-frozen right after catching to lock in the natural ocean sweetness and preserve the tender texture. The crab meat is translucent white, soft, juicy and mildly sweet, with a slight ocean aroma and very little fishiness.

Steam it, grill it or boil it — it suits family dinners, holiday celebrations and western-style seafood dishes. Store it in the freezer immediately on arrival and thaw slowly in the refrigerator; quick hot-water defrosting costs moisture and turns the meat mushy.
