Red Snow Crab is a special species that are caught in the East Sea of Korea; it cannot be cultivated, it can only be all-natural. This is one of the few domestic marine products with competitive edge in the world market. Red Snow Crab resides in the deep sea of 250m to 2,600m and lives about 16 years after it hatches. It looks similar to Snow Crab, but there are some differences in color, size, and texture of its meat. The color of Red Snow Crab reddens after it is boiled. It is because of astaxanthin-the beta- carotene of the sea- which is an excellent antioxidant.
