Alaskan Bairdi Snow Crab
Alaskan Bairdi Snow Crab
Wild Alaskan Bairdi Snow Crab (also called tanner crab) has been sustainably caught with pots in Prince William Sound, spring season 2022.
This Bairdi crab is the very sweetest of all the snow crab species; characterized by a sweet, rich, succulent flavor. They are similar to opilio snow crab but larger with a better fill and preferred taste and texture.
Snow crab legs are easier to handle than king crab legs; the smooth shell is easy to break and maneuver.
Snow Crab Cluster:
- 3 legs and 1 claw in the shell
- each cluster weighs 12-14 ounces
- Fully cooked and frozen in the shell
- Ready to crack and eat
- Wild and sustainable, never farmed!
For crab, a standard serving size is 1 lb per person, or .5 lb per person when serving as surf and turf.
Fully cooked and ready to eat. Simply defrost (in the refrigerator overnight), and reheat if desired (bake, steam, or bbq at 325 for 4 minutes).
Description
Description
It’s a unique fishery, as the golden king crab can be up to 500 fathoms deep, and the geographical distribution is largely unknown. We are working with the Alaska Board of Fisheries to collect information on legal male catch rate, male size composition, and distribution of golden king crab; with the goal of developing a sustainable harvest strategy for the inside waters of Prince William Sound.

Our Fish
Our Fish
The Prince William Sockeye run in June and July in the calm glacial fed waters of Prince William Sound.
In May through September, Rich fishes the Copper River Delta and Prince William Sound for Sockeye and Coho. We own and operate a small gill-net boat, the Miss CamiLou. Rich runs it with one deckhand and (when he’s lucky) his family onboard. Rich hand-picks every fish, and quickly chills them using our state-of-the-art Refrigerated Sea Water (RSW) system. He selects only the largest, fattest, premium Sockeye Salmon, and hand delivers them to our custom processor to be hand-cut, vacuum sealed, and frozen.
