Soft-shell crabs are highly regarded delicacies in many cuisines, particularly in the United States and East Asia, offering a distinctive texture and flavor that sets them apart from regular crabs. These crabs are essentially regular ones that have recently undergone molting, shedding their hard exoskeletons to reveal a soft and pliable shell.

Molting is a natural process that allows crabs to grow, and during this brief period, their newly formed exoskeleton is still soft and flexible. Soft-shell crabs are carefully harvested within a specific time window after molting, typically within hours to a day or two, while their shells remain tender and edible.

At our Indonesian farm, we take great care to harvest soft-shell crabs at precisely the right moment. Once harvested, they are promptly processed and frozen to maintain their perfect texture. Our soft-shell crabs are available in a wide range of sizes, ensuring the ideal fit for various culinary applications.

When it comes to serving, soft-shell crabs are often enjoyed whole, including the shell. The shell becomes pleasantly crisp and entirely edible after cooking, providing a truly unique texture and flavor experience. These delectable crabs are commonly served in sandwiches, salads, or as an accompaniment to a variety of dishes.

Beyond their exceptional taste, soft-shell crabs have a sweet and delicate flavor profile, making them highly sought-after among seafood enthusiasts. Their tender texture adds to the overall appeal, making them a true culinary delight.
