Snow crab is a type of crustacean found primarily in the cold waters of the North Atlantic and North Pacific oceans. Known for their sweet, tender meat, they are a popular seafood choice. Snow crabs have long legs and a hard shell, which can vary in color from brown to reddish-orange. These crabs are typically harvested during the winter months, making them a seasonal delicacy. They are often cooked and served in various dishes, including crab legs and seafood boils. Snow crabs are also an important part of the fishing industry, contributing to local economies in regions where they are caught.
