Buying Tips
Size matters more than anything. Colossal claws (6+ per lb) command extreme premiums. Verify the crack — claws should be pre-cracked by the supplier for retail/restaurant use. Early season (October–November) prices are highest due to pent-up demand and limited initial harvest. Mid-season (January–February) typically offers the best value. Always verify claws are from the current season — frozen holdover from prior season is lower quality.
