Wild-caught snow crab legs and claws, sold by the pound from the Costco meat and seafood department. These crab legs are cooked before freezing to preserve freshness and flavor, then thawed for sale in the refrigerated section. Snow crab, also known as Chionoecetes opilio, is prized for its naturally sweet, delicate meat and tender texture.

The legs and claws come pre-split or whole, making them easy to prepare at home. Simply steam for 5-7 minutes until heated through, or enjoy cold with melted butter and lemon. Snow crab is an excellent source of lean protein and is naturally low in fat. The wild-caught designation means these crabs are harvested from their natural ocean habitat rather than farm-raised, typically from the cold waters of the North Atlantic or North Pacific.
