Q: Are the Jonah Crabs already cooked?
A: No, Jonah Crabs are flash frozen and raw, you will need to cook them when they arrive.
Q: My Jonah Crabs do not have a lot of meat in the body.
A: Jonah crab is not as meaty as it’s cousin, the West Coast Dungeness Crab. The claw & knuckle meat can be steamed and served chilled over ice for an appetizer. The Jonah Crab Body meat is best to be used in almost any recipe that calls for crab meat, including soups, stews, dips, stuffing and crab puffs and cakes.

A: No. Your lobsters are always picked and packed the day before your delivery date.
Q: I received my order of Steamers, the shells are open and and they have black in them. Is this normal?
A: Steamers are a soft-shell clam, the shells will not completely close as the black siphon (black neck – sticking out) prevents this. They are open to slightly open, although there is a thin membrane that is covering this opening. Simply squeeze the clam lightly. Look carefully, if it moves its’ neck inward toward the shell(if the neck is present) then it is alive. If it doesn’t have a neck but you find that the steamer starts to shut its shell closer together, then it is alive as well. These clams are perfectly acceptable to cook and eat. They may experience some breakage in the transportation process.
Q: How do I clean my clams?
A: Sometimes it can be tricky to purge the clams and remove all of the sand and grit, as they live in muddy sand. The best way is to use seawater, you can recreate this by using 1/3 cup sea salt (not iodized salt, not rock salt) to half-gallon of non chlorinated water. Submerge the clams completely and let them soak for up to one hour. That should do the trick.
