Snow crab is one of the main species fished in Quebec. This well-known crustacean’s unique flesh—delicate strings of orange-pink on the outside and white on the inside—make it a very popular and lucrative species. Its fine, delicious flavor makes it a big hit with consumers.
Its savory taste is extremely appreciated by gourmets and culinary aficionados alike. This crustacean must be cooked delicately; count on Pêcherie Manicouagan to cook it to perfection.
Snow crab is fished from April to August in the deep waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the St. Lawrence River, where the water is cold and salty.
