Snow crab legs are a prized shellfish with sweet, delicate white meat and a tender, flaky texture. They are typically harvested from cold northern waters and are most often sold frozen, either as whole clusters or split legs. Snow crab is traditionally steamed or boiled and served warm with melted butter or a squeeze of lemon.
Nutritionally, snow crab is a lean source of protein and is low in fat. It supplies minerals such as selenium, phosphorus, and zinc, though prepared legs can be relatively high in sodium, so it is worth keeping portion size and added salt in mind.
