How to eat parts of Snow Crab legs.
by Judy
Yes and no...Yes, you can eat the meat up in that upper thigh area. There's a lot of good meat up there. You just have to pick out the meat from in the carcus. The "meat" may be tinted gray and is safe to eat. But the "greenish stuff" no. You don't want to eat that. We wash out all that greenish grey stuff when cleaning the crabs before steaming them. Hope this helps!

Their shells will turn bright red when properly cooked. Already cooked crab meat is widely available. Although it's often sold frozen, seek out fresh cooked crab meat for the best flavor and texture. In the months of September through April, during most crab fishing seasons is when the local fish markets often sell cooked whole crabs. Ask for them to be cleaned and cracked, or take them home crack them yourself and then remove the meat. Join our newletter "Crab Clique"
