Along with the Galician spider crab, the Galician spider crab (Maja brachydactyla) is undoubtedly one of the specialities for which Mariscos O Grove stands out. Thanks to our experience of over 25 years in the seafood sector, we always select the best pieces on the market and at the best price.
In addition, all our pieces have the stamp of quality of Centollo de O Grove, a distinction that is awarded to all chicken that is purchased only in the O Grove market, which makes it easier to recognise the bestGalician chickpea.
The Galician chicken is highly appreciated worldwide for its flavor and texture that are very different from the chicken, because while the chicken has inside the so-called "corals" the male chicken has a broth inside where we can appreciate more thesea flavor, which make this Galician seafood unique and different.
It should be noted that if you are ordering Galician cabbage 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 ''Live'' it means that our Galician Chickpea always leaves alive from our facilities. Being out of its natural habitat, during transport will be weakened and may arrive at destination fresh. Perfect for consumption!

Differences between Galician spider crab and spider crab
The females, or crab, are smaller than the males; they differ from them by the shape and greater bulging of the abdomen of the female compared to the male, also these, for their part, have much larger claws than females. The differentiation of the two sexes also affects the taste
According to the tastes of each one, certain diners will appreciate more the taste of the crab and its roe, while others will prefer the taste of the flesh of the claws and legs or the sea power that the broth of the shell of the male spider crab possesses.
What people agree on is that both, crab and Galician spider crab from O Grove, have a superior quality compared to other crabs in the world, due to the microclimate and the food provided by the Rías Baixas Gallegas.
