Jonah Crab - Live in Shell

Check back towards the fall for more Jonah! They are currently in their soft shell phase!

Jonah Crabs are another popular New England dinner time favorite. Just like our Live Lobsters, our crabs are caught by local fishermen and landed in Gloucester, then immediately stored in chilled ocean water tanks. They are sustainably wild caught. The claws provide a fabulous appetizing snack - simply steamed, and dipped in butter, grilled for a delightful smoky taste, or used in your favorite crab cake recipe. They pair great with some Old Bay Seasoning in the steaming or the grilling! Sometimes they are compared to Dungeness and stone crab, but Jonah crabs are fabulous and tasty on their own, with thick, meaty claws that have a distinct sweet flavor and are easy prepare, making them a great option for crab lovers looking for a more affordable price tag. Over 70% of Jonah crab landed comes from Massachusetts' waters, per the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission. You really want to check out this rising star from Massachusetts' natural, sustainable fisheries. We provide fresh seafood delivered overnight to your door - these crabs can't be beat!
