Snow crab

Snow crab is one of the most highly-valued delicacies from the sea. Native to the cold, clear waters of Greenland, Los Peperetes harvest the crab sustainably each January and carefully prepare it by hand in its Galician cannery. The snow crab is preserved in the water it is cooked in to retain its light and fresh flavour. Los Peperetes - a Galician word meaning tasty, desirable and surprising delicacies - was founded in 1993 by Jesus Lorenzo Crespo - the grandson of the first Galician canners. He began by canning the finest cockles and sardines he could find, producing only 30 tins a day, sealing each one with a manual seamer. Today Los Peperetes continues to source exclusively from local suppliers, follows a completely manual production process, and uses artisanal techniques and family-recipes passed down through generations.
