About
Snow crab meat from cold northern oceans weighs about 5.4 ounces (154 grams) per cup.
Snow crabs belong to the genus Chionoecetes and live in cold waters across the northern Pacific and Atlantic oceans. When picked and measured, the meat has a bulk density of about 40.6 pounds per cubic foot (0.65 grams per milliliter). Natural air gaps between the shredded fibers make it take up more space than solid fish fillet. A standard quart container holds roughly 1.36 pounds (616 grams) of the meat.
