As connoisseurs are well aware, snow crabs are highly popular and prized for their sweet taste and delicate texture as well as for their affordability compared to other crab species such as king crab.
A number of species of snow crabs are fished commercially in both the North Atlantic and North Pacific, yet the one most closely identified with the snow crab name, and the largest fishery by far, is C. opilio. Snow crab is fished commercially off Atlantic Canada where it is also called Queen crab.
Snow crabs typically average about two pounds and yield sections (clusters) mostly between five and eight ounces each.
