One large whole cooked male crab per pack, 950g to 1.1kg — the bigger-grade variant of our brown crab range. Male crabs deliver a much better meat-to-shell ratio than females. Two distinct meats in every shell: sweet flaky white meat in the claws and legs, plus rich brown meat under the main shell. Just defrost, grab the hammer.
