Snow crab legs have a mild flavor with a delicate, sweet finish. The texture ranges from firmer fibers of claw meat to tender longitudinal fibers of leg and knuckle meat. Often when they are prepared they are served in clusters with the legs still attached to the hollowed body shell. It is also very common to be able to buy these clusters precooked or raw and ready for your kitchen. A pre-cooked snow crab legs cluster has a bright orange to reddish color with a whitish strip. The meat when cooked ranges from reddish orange to snow white. Some crab legs come pre-cooked and only need to be reheated in a stockpot with lid for 3 to 5 minutes.
