Experience the ultimate seafood delicacy with our frozen ready-to-cook soft shell crabs. They're a unique treat you can enjoy whole, shell and all.

Our soft shell crabs are flash-frozen at the peak of freshness to lock in their naturally sweet and succulent flavor. Whether you enjoy them on their own or in a delicious sushi roll, their delicate, buttery texture and rich flavor are simply irresistible. For a classic preparation, use our top-selling seafood breading to create a perfectly crisp, golden-brown coating. A quick deep fry is all it takes to transform them into a crunchy, melt-in-your-mouth sensation.

We offer a range of sizes to suit your culinary needs:

  • Medium: Perfect for appetizers or sliders.
  • Hotel: The ideal size for a single serving entree.
  • Prime: A generous size for a hearty meal.
  • Jumbo: The largest and most impressive option for a true seafood feast. Size Disclaimer: The term "Jumbo" refers to the industry standard grading scale for soft-shell crabs. It is used to categorize soft-shell crabs by width (typically 5 to 5.5 inches). While it represents the largest grade available, it is a technical measurement rather than a literal description of the crab's scale (they are not literally jumbo).

  • Package Size: 2.2 Lb (1 Kg)
  • Form: Frozen, cleaned (gills, eyes, mouth, and apron off)

Soft shell crabs cook very quickly (2–3 minutes per side) and can be eaten whole once cleaned of their face, apron, and gills. For all deep drying and pan-frying recipes, we recommend using Intershell's Seafood Breading for the best results.

Classic Pan-Sautéed in Lemon-Butter: Lightly dredge crabs in Intershell's Seafood Breading, pan-fry in butter and olive oil until golden, then finish with fresh lemon juice, capers, and chopped parsley.

Soft Shell Crab Po' Boy Sandwich: Deep-fry in Intershell's Seafood Breading until crispy and serve on toasted French bread with spicy remoulade sauce, shredded lettuce, and sliced tomatoes.

Crispy Spider Roll (Sushi Style): Batter and deep-fry the crab, then roll with sushi rice, nori, avocado, cucumber, and spicy mayo or unagi sauce.

Grilled with Garlic-Herb Oil: Brush cleaned crabs with oil, garlic, and fresh herbs, then grill over medium-high heat for 3 minutes per side for a subtle smoky flavor.

Crispy Soft Shell Crab Tacos: Pan-fry crabs and serve inside warm corn tortillas topped with red cabbage slaw, fresh cilantro, and lime-crema.

Southern Buttermilk Fried: Soak crabs in buttermilk, coat in heavily seasoned flour (Old Bay, paprika, cayenne), and deep-fry until crunch-crisp.

Frozen items are shipped with dry ice to ensure the arrive fully frozen. Please place them directly into your freezer upon arrival.

If you order fresh and frozen items together, we package your shipment using gel ice packs instead of dry ice to protect your fresh goods. As a result, frozen items may partially thaw during transit. You can safely place them straight back into your freezer, or allow them to finish defrosting and enjoy right away.

Defrosting Guidelines

  1. Overnight in the Fridge: Small packs take 6–12 hours; large packs take 12–48 hours.
  2. Cold Water Bowl: Submerge sealed items in cold water for a faster thaw.
  • Note: Do not use hot water or attempt to thaw by cooking, as this ruins the natural texture and flavor.
