Compare Jonah and Snow Crab Leg Meat
Both plain meat listings contain cooked, picked leg meat in 1 lb frozen packs. Choose the species and flavor you prefer, then decide whether you need meat alone or a roll kit with accompaniments.
Jonah crab leg meat — 1 lb
Wild-caught Jonah leg meat has a sweet flavor and tender texture. Sources include Nova Scotia and the Gulf of St. Lawrence in Canada, with Maine sources when available. Also sold under the trade name peekytoe, it suits rolls, dips, salads and homemade crab cakes.
Opilio snow crab leg meat — 1 lb
Snow crab leg meat is sweet and delicate, from wild-caught Opilio crab sourced in Canada and Alaska. Use it for rolls, pasta or chilled seafood salads. Check the current listing for availability.
Jonah Crab Roll Kit for Six
The Jonah roll kit supplies cooked crab meat plus buns, chips, mayonnaise and butter. Choose 1 or 2 lbs of meat; the 2 lb upgrade adds meat only and keeps the same accompaniments. It does not create a full kit for twelve.
These are leg-meat products, not blue-crab jumbo lump grades. Compare the species, cut and net meat weight shown on each listing before choosing for your recipe.
How Much Picked Crab Meat Do I Need?
One pound equals 16 oz of picked meat. Dividing a pack into four equal portions gives 4 oz each; dividing it among six rolls gives about 2⅔ oz per roll. These are planning examples, so adjust for your recipe and appetite.
Picked-meat weight excludes the shells. A 1 lb meat pack cannot be compared directly with a 1 lb bag of shell-on legs or claws. For value, compare the same species, cut, product condition and net pack weight.
Cooked and Frozen for Rolls and Recipes
The plain Jonah and Opilio leg meats are already cooked and supplied frozen. Thaw under refrigeration following the package directions. Serve chilled in rolls or salads, or gently warm as your recipe and product directions require; extended cooking can dry out the meat.
Meat-only packs do not include buns, mayonnaise or butter. Roll kits and crab cakes have separate ingredients, allergens and preparation instructions. Check the current package labels before serving.

No. That option increases the crab meat only. Both options have one eight-bun pack, six chip bags, one 10 oz mayonnaise jar and one 4 oz butter stick. The upgrade does not double those accompaniments.

Let customers speak for us
Lobsters were fabulous
Amazing. The lobster arrived ahead of time and put the box in the fridge as suggested. Later cooked them they were huge. Plenty of meat had to crack claw with a hammer. Worth every penny
Perfect! Came exactly when I requested it, still frozen and loved every bit. Will order again!
Great service & experience
My brother Paul, and I ordered lobsters, clams, and chowder to be delivered to our brother and his wife in Bay City, Michigan to celebrate their 35th anniversary. They arrived on time, exactly as promised and the quality and condition of everything was superb! They had enough for a lobster boil and lobster rolls the next day! I have already recommended Maine Lobster Now to friends and family in Texas and Florida.
Wonderful clams with lobster bisque, put in the 2 free lobster tails I received with my purchase, did a seafood boil with the rest of my order, 32 people ate till their heart’s content, everyone asked me where I got the seafood, Maine lobster now will have many new customers. Thanks again for your support and service for delivering the best lobster and on the day I wanted.
The flavor is incredible
As a displaced Mainer with older children who have vacation memories of these dogs from birthday party picnics at Fort Knox, schodic point and steamed at the Bangor State Fair. We broke down the large package and froze so we can bring them out when we have other displaced Maine friends come by who are willing to balance their 'red dye' intake for a day. Memories are re-activated from eyes, nose, and mouth.
Five stars they were amazing
Great taste and made for the main part of a very special birthday celebration!!
Amazing!!
Delicious Dinner! This is the second time we have ordered lobster from you. The order process is easy, the lobsters arrived nicely packed. The kids at our party had fun unpacking them and prepping them for dinner. Once cooked, the lobsters were delicious and were the centerpiece of our Clam Bake!
I have been trading with Maine Lobster for 10 years now (?). I have never been disappointed. Raised in New England and living in So Cal I need a good lobster. I’ve purchased, lobsters, clams, mussels, snow crab, bisque and was only disappointed 1ce when UPS screwed up my delivery. Maine Lobster stood behind me.
I ordered 2 lbs of Lobster meat and appreciated it came in 1 lb packs not a 2 lb pack. This is always my preference going forward not a 2 ln pack which is not convenient.
I ordered lobster dinners with all of the fixings for my son’s 40 birthday in Montana! Even when there was a delivery issue, the Maine Lobster rectified it immediately! Everything was delicious and perfect for days!
