Monster Broiler Claws // 6 Claws // 1.75 lb

These Monster Broiler Claws are a very indulgent treat from King Crabs caught in the frigid cold waters of the Barnets Sea near the Arctic Circle at the top of the world. Each claw is massive, making a wildly impressive presentative to family and friends. Every claw is pre-scored, so the top comes off easily for simple serving and enjoying. It is recommended to serve chilled as an appetizer your guests will never forget.

Storing
These fully-cooked claws can be stored frozen for up to two months. Once thawed, you can store your crab for up to three days in the refrigerator. Pack the crab claws in ice and cover with a damp towel for the best results.

Thawing
To thaw, wrap the frozen claws in paper towels and place them in the refrigerator to thaw overnight.

Preparing
The Broiler Claws can simply be thawed and served chilled. If you prefer to warm your crab, steaming, boiling, and baking (recommended at 275°F) are the most common options. Usually under these methods, crab takes only 5-7 minutes to cook. Be careful not to overcook your crab, as it will reduce the texture and taste.

Serving
The traditional way to serve your fully-cooked crab is with a simple accompaniment of melted butter. Over the years, top chefs have derived their own creative touches to serving this special meal. This includes a mix or garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil, or experiment with your own creations!

Choosing the Right Beverage
Dry white wines with a hint of sweetness make the perfect partner for your crab claws. SeaBear's personal recommendation is a Pinot Gris, though a dry Riesling or Sauvignon Bland will also work quite well. Well chilled malty ales are also very delicious. For a non-alcoholic alternative, try either a fresh-made lemonade or fresh-brewed iced tea with lemon.

Cleaning Up
Finely crush two saltine crackers in your hands, then rub your hands together just as you would if you were washing them with a bar of soap. The cracker crumbs will absorb any lingering crab odor.
