Grab the Best Crab Claws

See why crab claws are a Southern delicacy and a MUST-TRY dish when you’re at the beach.
FUN FACT: Did you know consuming crab meat dates back to the early 17th century? Although we may not know the exact date of when the first crab was cooked, Southerners can agree on one thing: When you dip those crab claws in some batter or breading and throw them in the fryer, you have yourself the perfect appetizer or meal.
