Culinary Reserve crabs are responsibly wild caught from the Indonesian Spice Islands. Live crabs are steamed immediately, which is the key to North Coast’s premium quality. The crab meat is then 100 percent hand-picked, immediately chilled and pasteurized under the strictest quality control standards. In addition, North Coast regularly micro-tests their crab meat to guarantee food safety. Shelf life of these 1 lb. cans is 12 months under proper refrigeration.

Culinary Reserve crab meat is also Certified Heart Healthy by the American Heart Association.

“Anyone who has been buying pasteurized crab over the past two years knows that the crab meat market has experienced unprecedented volatility,” said Rich Polins, Principal at North Coast Seafoods. “After two years of the most turbulent price fluctuations in history, chefs, foodservice operators and retailers are more than ready for some stability. North Coast’s experts are eager to help position businesses with premium quality, consistent supply and a trusted brand.”

For more than 65 years, North Coast Seafoods has been sourcing, processing and distributing the highest quality, sustainable seafood to our foodservice and retail customers across the United States.
