Cocktail Clawfingers – Picked from the ends of the blue crab’s claws, the meat is left attached to the “feather” of the finger. Primarily used as an appetizer, it is commonly served “as is” with a remoulade sauce, marinated and served in a crab salad or deep fried and served with a seafood cocktail sauce. Approx. 70 clawfingers per 1lb. container.
*There is a best by date printed on the container for when they are sold fresh, however ours are frozen on the day received for shipping. There will be an additional sticker with the freeze date. You have 6 months from that date to consume.
My wife is a Alabama girl and we live in Colorado, so getting down to the Gulf for these once a year or every two years just aint cutting it. I surprised her with these and she nearly jumped my bones in the kitchen. She saw the small container, she laughed and said, “what are you eating?” Once fried up they almost triple the size of the container. I used Lucy Buffetts recipe from Lulus and they came out perfect. We will order again.
They typically come prepared (cooked) with part of the shell removed, exposing the dark pink, meaty flesh of the crab claw. The flavor profile is stronger (sweeter) than that of its crab leg counterpart.
Very fresh, though not the biggest I've found
The crab fingers (claws, of course) arrived partially thawed, but they were cool in the cooler, so I just refroze all of them. That has yielded safe product, but not only that. The crab meat is good for 3-4 days, at least, after you let it naturally thaw in the fridge. — That is wonderful. I'd say these are "regular" crab fingers, not jumbo. Sort of like grading jumbo lump crab and lump crab. If the analogy is extended, these are basic "lump"-size, though they are very tasty. I would be interested to see this site offer a "jumbo"-size crab finger in the future, but for right now, the company is doing A LOT of stuff right. The packaging for shipping is great. I never felt the product was in any way tainted when it came to me. Given this same product is offered again and that's the biggest size of crab claw/finger I can get, I certainly would buy it again. It is a delicious treat.
Taste great fried just like eating out
These crab fingers are EXCELLENT. Larger than others and superior quality. Great service!
sent some to my brother for his birthday–he says biggest and best he ever had!!!
Crab Claw Fingers are picked from the ends of the blue crabs claws. The meat is left attached to the “feather” (because it looks like a feather once all the crab meat is removed) of the claw. The meat has a mild, salty ocean flavor with a subtle sweet undertone. Its succulent, rich, buttery mouthfeel is heavenly. The fingers are often served as an appetizer and commonly served “as-is” with a remoulade sauce.
