Gulf Of Maine Jonah Crab Leg Meat (aka Peekytoe) - 1 lb.- old

Maine Lobster Now takes great pride in responsibly sourcing Jonah crab meat to help maintain crab populations for generations to come. Jonah crab has been sustainably harvested in Maine for generations, but rapidly warming waters have moved much of the population into colder waters just north of our shores. Today, we responsibly source Jonah Crab in the waters of Nova Scotia and the Gulf of St. Lawrence, though we also work with local fisheries in Maine whenever possible.

What’s the Serving Size for 1 lb. Maine Jonah Crab Leg Meat?

Your 1 lb. order of Jonah Crab Leg Meat will come pre-cooked and ready to eat once thawed. One pound of Jonah crab leg meat is the same proportion we send in our popular 6-pack crab roll kits. This provides a generous portion for 6 delicious, heaping crab rolls the whole family can enjoy.

Maine crab meat is also a popular choice for making your own crab cakes at home, our crab cakes are 50% crab meat. So if you plan on making 3 oz crab cakes we would recommend planning on using 1.5 ounces per crab cake.

Nutritional Benefits of Jonah Crab Meat

Crabmeat is a high-protein meat source that comes packed with vitamins and minerals. Like other shellfish and seafood we sell, crab could be added to the growing list of “superfoods” health experts recommend. Crabmeat offers a whopping 16 grams of protein per 3 oz. serving.
Crabmeat also contains vitamins B12 and C, and the antioxidants zinc and selenium. Zinc helps support bone mass and immune function, while selenium aids in preventing cellular damage. And there’s more. Crabmeat is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help lower inflammation and can reduce the risk of heart disease.
