WA Shark Bay Blue Swimmer Crab Meat (Raw Frozen)

Picked blue swimmer crab meat (Portunus armatus) from Shark Bay in Western Australia — a World Heritage marine area and about as clean a body of water as Australian seafood comes from. All the picking is done for you; the pack is pure meat.

This is raw frozen, not pre-cooked, which is the difference worth paying for. Frozen alive-to-raw straight after the catch, the meat keeps its original sweetness and a delicate texture that cooked-then-frozen crab meat loses. Blue swimmer is finer and noticeably sweeter than snow crab or mud crab.

Why Choose Shark Bay Blue Swimmer?

• Raw frozen, not pre-cooked: snap frozen raw after the catch, so the texture and sweetness survive intact.
• Shark Bay, WA: pristine, unpolluted waters with a distinctive clean flavour.
• Already picked: no shells, no cracking, no waste — every gram is meat.
• Finer than other crab: more delicate and sweeter than snow crab or mud crab, which is why it suits dishes that let the crab speak.
• High protein, low fat: a lean, natural source of seafood protein.

Cooking Methods:

• Stir fried: the meat cooks in moments — ginger and spring onion, in and straight out of the wok.
• Steamed: thaw and steam briefly, served with ginger and black vinegar.
• Soups and stews: add directly to hot broth at the end of cooking.
• Crab salad or creamy dishes: where the delicate sweetness is the whole point — crab cakes, bisque, pasta.

Cooking Tip:
Picked crab meat needs seconds, not minutes. It is the easiest seafood in the shop to overcook.

Allergen Advice:
Contains crustaceans. Not suitable for anyone with a shellfish allergy.

Storage:
Keep frozen at -18°C. Portion out what you need rather than thawing the whole pack, and do not refreeze.
