If you supply live crabs for restaurants, make sure you always have an ample amount in stock.
Offer steamed crabs
Steamed crabs are a good option for people who want to enjoy crab without having to cook it. In most cases, steamed crab is frozen so all the customer has to do is reheat it. Making sure that you purchase steamed crabs from reputable crab dealers is essential so you can guarantee the quality of the steamed crabs you sell.
Have king crab legs for sale
King crab legs are a popular appetizer choice. Many restaurants serve crab legs as part of a buffet. Offering king crab legs and claws to your customers will help you appeal to people who want to enjoy crab meat without having to shell whole crabs. Most king crab legs are cooked.
Set a fair price for crab meat

Lump crab meat is the best because meat is taken from whole crabs and is priced higher than other types, including crab claw meat. Setting a fair price for crab meat allows you to meet the needs of almost anyone who wants to enjoy a crab dish.
