More information

We look for the best sea ox from the different fish markets of the Rías Baixas, selecting the best pieces by professionals with more than 25 years of experience. To enjoy the real taste of the crab we suggest you take it cooked although if you like to cook, the stuffed crab is a perfect recipe

The crab (Cancer Pagurus), is one of the most consumed seafood in Europe. It lives in cold waters and is found most of the time in cracks and holes between rocks

It is a perfect ally for recipes such as salpicon de mariscos, since its meat has a smooth texture which makes it easy to clean this marisco. For Mariscos O Grove, the best way to taste this Galician seafood is simply boiled or grilled, although if you like to cook the stuffed crab it is a fantastic recipe to surprise your guests

It should be noted that if you are going to place your order for crab in cooked, you must remember that this product suffers a weight loss of approximately 20%, so there will be a difference between its live weight and its cooked weight.

Remember that when you select the option ''Alive'' it means that our cows always leave alive from our facilities. Being out of its natural habitat, during transport it will weaken and may arrive at its destination fresh, perfect for consumption!

We remind you that a medium-sized crab is calculated for every 2 people and a large one for 3 people

To accompany this seafood, we recommend a good wine from the Rías Baixas area as is the albariño, in this case we recommend you to taste it with the albariño wine available in our website Which is the tastiest crab, the female or the male?

Regarding the Galician seafood, each diner has their own particular tastes. In the case of Galician crab, it is important to clarify a common mistake: you should know that a female crab is not the same as a spider crab. This confusion is due to the txangurro recipe, which is made indistinctly with crab or spider crab, but these are two different species.

Female crab are usually preferred by diners, because they offer a large amount of coral inside. The male on the other hand, although it does not have the corals, has a more intense taste of sea and also their legs are bigger and juicier.

To differentiate the sex of the edible crab, you need to turn the animal upside down and check the shape of the central part. The exoskeleton forms a cap which, in the case of the male, has a sunken, triangular shape. The cowry females have a large, rounded, bulging cap.

The exoskeleton of the exoskeleton forms a cap which, in the case of the male, is sunken and triangular in shape

Crab crab roe and corals: gastronomic delights

The morphological difference has the purpose of storing and protecting the eggs. The females are loaded with eggs in their famous corals, a delicious incentive to opt for crab roe. Keep in mind that, if the female has already spawned, the taste of its meat will not differ so much from the male's.

The crab roe, which in Galicia are called: Merillas, are a gastronomic delicacy similar to caviar. The corals, on the other hand, are used to elaborate, together with other ingredients, the stuffing of the crab.
