Innovation

Handy Seafood stands at the forefront of soft crab preparation. We pioneered tempura-battered and panko-breaded soft crabs, offering convenient, ready to cook, high-quality options that save you prep time. 

Raw IQF

Tempura Battered

Panko Breaded

No matter your vision—from a small plate to a grand entrée—we provide the largest selection of soft shell crabs to meet your needs. Our complete range of sizes ensures you’ll find the perfect fit for your menu, with both raw and prepared options available for total convenience.

Unmatched Freshness & Quality 

Naturally Molted

  • Our crabs are harvested at the peak of their molting cycle, ensuring they are naturally plump with more sweet, white meat and an intensely superior flavor profile. 

Live Processed

  • We ensure maximum freshness. Our crabs are live processed, cleaned, and then individually quick frozen (IQF) to lock in their natural taste and texture, preserving that “just caught” quality. 

Pure & Natural

  • Absolutely nothing is added. You’ll find no water, glazes, additives, or preservatives—just pure, natural crab flavor. Each crab is carefully selected for its superior quality and size, guaranteeing consistency and excellence in every order.
