I got a 2lbs. sack of these babies, and while I was dubious, they are freaking delicious!
Meaty, sweet and LUSH. Think Stone Crab with a shade more work required, but at a far lower price.
I ate the HECK out of them, and will buy more if I get the opportunity. They are as good as snow crab, if not better, and approach King Crab in the flaky, but hold the moisture texture.
Con: They have a very hard shell and are a !?#?# *insert your own pejorative* to clean.
They taste fabulous, though
Here's an article on them:

(14,559 posts)The crabs are harvested and one claw removed before being thrown back to regenerate a new claw. And yes, they are delicious if they are half way fresh.

(39,961 posts)I love crab, but these were exceptional. I got them frozen which probably knocks a point off of the taste, but they were still PHENOMENAL.
Wait, maybe I shouldn't talk about this because then everyone will go buying them and the price will rise. :sigh:
Pull off a claw it grows back. Very sustainable like Stone Crab.
I usually need butter to dunk my crab in - these are so juicy and delicious, you have no need for it.
Except they are awful and nobody but me needs to buy them because ...uh... they are terrible and stuff. Don't buy these. '
Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket.
Goodness, I'm selfish. Okay, buy them but not too many - please leave a few for me

(39,961 posts)Crab is my absolute favorite, too. I didn't do the spoon method, but hopefully I'll get the chance to try it out .
