The Galician spider crab is a delicacy from the Ría de O Grove, famous for its unique texture and flavor. With a distinctive quality seal, we offer different sizes depending on the cooking option: live or cooked. Perfect for sharing at a special dinner, it pairs beautifully with white wine and Galician bread.
Each of our spider crabs comes with the quality seal of the O Grove spider crab, ensuring its freshness and origin. This species, Maja brachydactyla, is globally recognized for its distinctive flavor, thanks to the corals it contains that set it apart from other crabs. Additionally, its reddish color when alive contrasts sharply with the imported versions, which tend to be paler.
We offer various size options: small (0.6-0.8 kg), medium (0.9-1.2 kg), large (1.2-1.5 kg), and special (1.6-2 kg). It's important to remember that if you choose the cooked crab, there is a weight loss of about 20% due to the cooking process. Therefore, we recommend calculating one crab for two people to enjoy its exquisite flavor with Galician bread. The crab is not only a feast for the palate but also a unique experience best enjoyed with a good white wine.
At Mariscos O Grove, we have over 25 years of experience selecting the best pieces from the sea so you can enjoy authentic Galician spider crab in the comfort of your home. No need to search anymore; we do the work for you. Remember that when selecting the 'live' option, you receive the crab in perfect condition, ideal for an authentic and fresh tasting experience.
