It's caught in the deep winter months, when crews brave icy, stormy seas to set and haul their pots. That hard-won harvest is part of what makes bairdi feel like an occasion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eRich, sweet, and full-flavored\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe meat is sweet, succulent, and naturally a little salty, with a full flavor. That means you don't need to do much to it. A little melted butter and a squeeze of lemon is plenty, and simple preparations tend to let the crab shine. Compared to the more common opilio snow crab, the bairdi has bigger clusters, thicker legs, a firmer bite, and a fuller, sweeter flavor. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFirm, meaty texture\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhere opilio is softer and more delicate, bairdi has a heartier, more substantial bite.
