Crabby Bags was started by two busy parents and a 5th grader, all working from home at the beginning of the pandemic. We created Crabby Bags as a quick, ready to cook meal option for our seafood loving son.
Frozen doesn’t mean less fresh—it means smarter. Our frozen seafood boils lock in peak freshness, last up to 6 months in your freezer, and cook restaurant-quality meals in 15 minutes. Premium snow crab, jumbo shrimp, authentic Louisiana seasonings, and everything you need—shipped frozen to your door.
Perfect for: Meal preppers, busy professionals, last-minute dinner solutions, and anyone who wants seafood boil convenience without compromise.
A frozen seafood boil is a complete, pre-portioned meal featuring premium seafood, vegetables, and authentic seasonings—all frozen immediately after preparation to preserve freshness, flavor, and nutrients. Unlike fresh seafood that begins degrading within hours of harvest, frozen seafood boils are flash-frozen at peak quality.
At Crabby Bags, we prepare every seafood boil fresh weekly, then freeze it immediately using commercial-grade equipment. This process locks in the same quality you’d get at a high-end seafood restaurant—but with the convenience of cooking whenever you’re ready.
