Not a species itself but, rather, a “grade” of crab meat, Colossal Crab refers to the whole, unbroken pieces (known as ‘lumps”) of the largest individual blue crabs or blue swimming crabs. The meat is taken from the two largest muscles connected to the back swimming fins of the crab. These fins do the majority of the work in propelling the crab’s movement, building up firm but tender pieces of meat. Unlike lesser grades of crabmeat which are machine-picked and air-blasted to remove the meat from the shell, the lumps in the Colossal grade are handpicked and kept in tact to retain a large, full pieces of meat for you to enjoy. Our Colossal Crab comes from blue swimming crab from the Indian Ocean. Like all of our seafood, it is wild-caught using certified sustainable practices that ensure good stewardship of both the animal and their natural habitats.
