Fraser Isle Kona Crab Meat

Australia's Fraser Isle Spanner Crab—known in the US as Kona Crab—is a rare and highly coveted alternative to Dungeness celebrated for its naturally sweet flavor and delicate, fine-textured meat.

Sustainably harvested from the pristine waters off Fraser Isle in Queensland, each crab is carefully selected and handpicked for a shell-free experience before being gently cooked sous vide in its own natural juices. Nothing is added, preserving the clean, nuanced flavor and tender succulence of the meat. 

Fraser Isle Kona Crab is best enjoyed in dishes that let its naturally sweet meat shine. Fold it into warm buttered pasta, toss through fresh salads, or gently incorporate into risottos. For crab cakes, choose recipes with minimal filler so the crab remains the star, or serve it as a luxurious garnish for light starters. Ready to use, it delivers pure crab for restaurant-quality results every time.

Defrosting and Preparation Tips

Thaw the crab in its sealed bag under refrigeration or in a cold-water bath. Once fully defrosted, transfer the crab meat directly to a plate. Some natural liquid in the pack is normal—do not drain it. This is the crab’s natural juice and adds flavor and moisture. Gently mix the meat so it reabsorbs evenly. Serve chilled or incorporate into your favorite cooked dishes.
