Frozen Blue Crab Whole contains the crab body, claws and shell rather than separated crab meat. The species is Callinectes sapidus, a member of the Portunidae family that lives in marine and estuarine environments.
Its meat has a naturally sweet, mildly briny flavour. The body meat is tender while the claw meat offers a firmer bite, making the crab useful for dishes where the shell also contributes flavour during cooking.
The exact fishing origin can change with seasonal supply. Fresh Fish Dubai does not assign a fixed FAO area unless it is confirmed by the current batch documentation.
• Whole shell inspection: Blue crab is sold with its shell intact, so selection focuses on shell condition and physical integrity rather than judging only loose meat.
• Wild marine supply: This species is naturally associated with coastal and estuarine waters rather than conventional freshwater farming. Origin information should be checked against the current batch.
• Temperature controlled handling: Frozen crab needs protection from temperature changes. Fresh Fish Dubai keeps the product under appropriate frozen storage and uses controlled handling during order movement.
Fresh Fish Dubai has served customers since 2020 from its location at 1st Floor, Shop No 285, Waterfront Market, Dubai, UAE.
Thaw the crab safely in the refrigerator before cooking if the package instructions require thawing. Steam for about 12 to 15 minutes after the water reaches a strong steam, adjusting the time for crab size.
Bring water to a rolling boil with garlic, lemon, bay leaf and black pepper. Cook the thawed crab for about 10 to 15 minutes, then remove the meat carefully from the shell.
Steam or boil the crab first, then add the cooked meat to spiced rice near the end of cooking. Garlic, coriander, cumin and dried lime can complement its naturally sweet meat.
