New Brunswick fishers go the distance to catch the world’s best snow crab. They’ve travelled up to 400 kilometres offshore for generations, braving the elements to bring back this deep-water treasure.

We’ve nurtured a sustainable snow crab fishery for decades. Today, it is carefully managed to protect our ocean environment and deliver the highest quality products to market year-round. Our fishermen are backed by state-of-the-art processors who preserve our exceptional snow crab’s flavour, colour and nutritional value at its peak.

Snow crab is eaten shell-on, so aesthetics are key: our pristine, bright red shells are a show-stopper on tables worldwide. Discerning buyers appreciate its premium shell, sweet natural taste, and consistent supply. Plus, it’s ultra-healthy, high in protein and rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. Any way you look at it, snow crab from New Brunswick is a quality catch.
