8Crabs – Islandwide Delivery of Fresh and Tasty Crabs in ONE Hour

Have you been craving for large, meaty, and tasty crabs lately? Here’s a gem for you — 8Crabs (八鲜过海). The Chinese name is a witty wordplay on Chinese characters I must say. It is literally translated as ‘eight seafood flown across the sea’. But it’s true! They literally have their crabs flown in every day direct from Sri Lanka!

As a wholesaler and retailer of AAA premium Sri Lankan wild crabs, 8Crabs is committed to delivering fresh crabs, and they definitely have the capability to. From Sri Lanka to your dining table, the crabs are only in 8Crab’s possession for less than 12 hours. And, straight into your belly they go! All crabs flown in are placed in a comfortable environment, to guarantee their survival until it’s time to cook them. While this may seem like a tedious process, it is very necessary. Crabs produce ammonia in stressful environments and it can cause the taste of the crabs to change due to the pungent gas released. 8Crabs is dedicated to serving you only the best quality crabs in the market, so they follow a stringent standard operating procedure to ensure that their crabs are well taken care of.

The AAA premium Sri Lankan wild crabs come in various award-winning flavours – Chilli, Black Pepper, Salted Egg, Spicy Mala, Tom Yam and Steamed. If you can’t decide which one to go for, I’d recommend the Black Pepper Crab ($45.90-$125). I’m not a fan of black pepper anything, but this blew my mind. The black pepper sauce was not too overpowering such that it would throw you off on your first bite. In fact, the fragrance of the pepper grows on you. While you might expect the sauce to be quite spicy, 8Crab’s rendition is more of an addictive savoury one. Even if you just intend to taste a little of the sauce by dipping a Fried Mantou (Set of 5, $6) in it, you’ll be hooked and will certainly want more. Pro-tip: order a bigger portion of the Black Pepper Crab. You’ll not regret it!

Of course, who can forget, the popular dish that has put our little red dot on the world map — Chilli Crab ($45.90 – $125). This version is comparable to what you can get at renowned seafood restaurants. In fact, it might just be better because of how generous the portion is, and that perfect blend of sweet and spicy chilli crab sauce. Yum! What makes this even better is the fact that you can enjoy it in the comfort of your own home!

8Crabs’ team of chefs have had stints in popular restaurants, learning from the best and honing their skills in demanding kitchens. Hence, you are surely in for a treat! 8Crabs is a game-changer. Who said that top quality crabs need to be expensive? Not only does 8Crabs deliver affordable and tasty crabs, they also have a wide range of zi char dishes like Prawn Paste Chicken ($12-$22), Yangzhou Fried Rice ($6-$16), Signature Coffee Pork Ribs ($15-$28) to complete your feast!

Other than fresh wild crabs, 8Crabs has also recently gotten its hands on premium Boston Lobsters ($88) that are air-flown daily! Each lobster weighs about 350g to 400g before preparation. Just like their highly-raved crabs, the lobsters are extremely juicy and fleshy too! The lobster is available in 4 delicious flavours — Chilli, Black Pepper, Salted Egg and the good ole’ Steamed lobster.

Yes, there is a lot to boast about 8Crabs but here comes one of the best parts. They are able to deliver your food within an hour! Express delivery costs $18, with a 15 minutes processing time. This is something that I’m super thankful for as someone who’s always on the spontaneous side of life.

Islandwide delivery for same-day or advanced orders will be charged a flat fee of $8 per order. The delivery charge will be waived if your order hits a minimum of $120 (which is not difficult at all!)
