The Australian Spanner Crab (Ranina ranina), also known as the Tiger Crab, is a unique and highly prized seafood delicacy, renowned for its distinctive appearance, vibrant reddish-orange shell and sweet, delicate meat.

Found in the warm coastal waters of Eastern Australia, particularly off the coast of Queensland and northern New South Wales, the Spanner Crab is celebrated for its exceptional flavour and premium quality.

Unlike traditional crabs, the Spanner Crab has a distinctive elongated body and specialised legs designed for burrowing into the sandy ocean floor. Its naturally sweet, tender white meat and delicate texture make it a favourite among seafood lovers and chefs alike.

Wild-caught from Australia’s pristine waters, the Tiger Crab is highly sought after both domestically and internationally, particularly throughout Asia, where premium Australian seafood is valued for its freshness, quality and exceptional taste.
