Paralomis granulosa
Snow Crab
Also known as: Centollon, Chilean Snow Crab

Product Overview
Feast on the sweet, delicate taste of snow crab direct from the cold Chilean ocean floor. Serves wonderfully as an appetizer or your main dish. This savory crustecean is native to the Southern Cone with a taste that will delight your customers. It is easily distinguished from other species because its shell and abdomen are covered red grainy clusters.

Origin
Found off the southern coast of Chile and Magellan Straight at depths of 100 meters. Captured by pots and landed live for maximum quality in the far southern seas of Chile. Our crab boats take special care when harvesting these crusteceans. They are kept alive in the boat pond with ocean water and lots of fresh air until they reach the shore where they are transported to our HACCP processing plant in insulated trucks. This crab may not be harvested from December 1 through January 31.
