Wild Alaskan Bairdi Snow Crab: 6.6 lbs
Snow Crab is reputed for its sweet flavor, “snowy” white meat, and fibrous texture. Of the “Snow Crabs” (Bairdi and Opillio), Bairdi trends as the more premium, and even “best crab available on the market,” by crab lovers and the culinary world. Alaska Select sells Bairdi Snow Crab “cooked to perfection,” then brine frozen and water glazed for convenience. It is best enjoyed cold--thawed out in the refrigerator overnight or in a room-temperature bath hours before. If desired served hot, the crab needs to be slowly warmed to avoid overcooking (or losing moisture). It is naturally low in fat and calories, and high in protein.
