Raw Shelled King Crab

Origin: Finnmark, Norway

Caught in the pristine Arctic waters just off the North Cape, VAAG's king crab is as close to the source as it gets. Wild-caught from the Norwegian coastal fleet (FAO 27), each crab is carefully selected, cleaned, and prepared entirely by hand before being super-frozen to lock in the flavour and texture of the raw material. What arrives with you is pure, shelled, boneless king crab — snow-white meat with distinctive red stripes, ready to cook with no preparation required.

King crab is one of the rarest and most prized seafoods in the world, and VAAG's is sourced from some of the cleanest, coldest waters on earth. The meat is sweet, mild, and succulent — frequently compared to lobster but with its own delicate character. Sustainably harvested, free from additives, and shelled by hand. Super-freezing preserves the integrity of the raw meat so there is no loss of quality between the boat and your kitchen.

Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. The crab is best treated simply — poached in butter with a zest of lemon, or steamed over salted water for 3 to 4 minutes and served with brown butter. Beyond that, use it anywhere you would use lobster — king crab linguine, crab and ricotta ravioli, a chilled king crab salad, or folded through a bisque or chowder.

Storage: Keep frozen at -18°C or below until best before date. Once thawed, refrigerate at 0–4°C and use within 7 days. Do not refreeze once thawed.
