For those of you who are passionate about fresh seafood, Dungeness crab is something to celebrate. At Four Star Seafood, one of our HRVST Preferred vendors, their Dungeness crabs come straight from the hands of local fishermen. These crabs aren't just any seafood; they're a symbol of the Bay Area's rich maritime culture and commitment to sustainable fishing practices. When you order through HRVST, you're getting a taste of the local waters – fresh, sweet, and handled with care.

Here's a deliciously simple recipe for Grilled Dungeness Crab with Herb Butter and Lime that's straightforward, delicious, and sure to bring out the best in your fresh crab.

INGREDIENTS:
• 2 whole Dungeness crabs, cooked and cleaned
• 4 limes, cut into wedges
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/4 cup mixed fresh herbs (such as parsley, dill, and chives), finely chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
•
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter with the minced garlic, chopped herbs, a pinch of salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
2. Place the herb butter in the refrigerator to firm up slightly while you prepare the crab.
3. If the crabs are whole, break the body into quarters, crack the legs gently with a mallet or the back of a knife (to make it easier to extract the meat), and remove the claws.
4. Preheat your grill or broiler to a medium-high heat. Lightly brush the crab pieces with some of the herb butter.
5. Grill or broil the crab pieces for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are heated through and slightly charred.
6. Serve the crab on a large platter with the remaining herb butter on the side for dipping.
7. Garnish with lime wedges, encouraging guests to squeeze lime juice over the crab before eating.
8. Enjoy the burst of flavors from the fresh herbs and lime, complemented by the richness of the butter and the sweetness of the crab.
Pair this dish with a light white wine, like a Sauvignon Blanc or a dry Riesling, which can complement the tangy lime and rich butter flavors. Enjoy!

Sourcing the Exceptional: Exotic Ingredients with Integrity

Good Chefs know that some dishes call for ingredients that can’t be found ordering from a distributor or even at the local farmer's market. Vanilla beans, saffron, rare meats, tropical fruits—these flavors carry centuries of culture and craft.

But sourcing “exotic” doesn’t have to mean sourcing irresponsibly. At HRVST Chef’s Market, we make it possible for chefs to access these rare ingredients without compromising ethics, quality, or sustainability.

Here’s how we bring value to your kitchen:

Access – Hard-to-find products delivered to you in 24–48 hours.
Integrity – Sourced from growers who are respected and paid fairly.
Quality – Authentic, unadulterated ingredients that perform as they should.
Connection – Traceable sourcing that honors the traditions behind each ingredient.

For chefs, that means no more compromises—just the right ingredient, exactly when you need it.

For those you serve, it means dishes rooted in authenticity, flavor, and care.

HRVST takes the sourcing challenge off your plate—so you can focus on what happens on it.

👨‍🍳📦 Chefs, methods matter when shipping perishables.

You already know the difference a fresh ingredient makes on the plate — but getting it to your kitchen in peak condition takes precision. The right prep protects your product, saves money, and keeps your customers happy.

Here’s what to keep in mind when sourcing and shipping:

🔪 Seal it right – Vacuum-seal or airtight packaging protects against air, light, and moisture, locking in flavor until the moment it hits your prep table.
🔪 Choose the right fit – Smaller, properly sized boxes reduce empty space, limit spoilage risk, and cut shipping costs.
🔪 Pack with care – Produce needs cushion (bubble wrap or air pillows). Proteins and firm items often just need dense paper. The goal? Protection without pressure.
🔪 Protect the cold chain – Keep it cold before packing and long after it leaves. Dry ice is effective for the most temperature-sensitive items, but requires proper handling.
🔪 Ship fast – Overnight if needed. Speed is the single most important factor in protecting your ingredients.

At HRVST Chef’s Market, we handle these details for you. Every perishable order is delivered within 48 hours, non-perishables in 3–5 business days. We make sure your mise en place starts with ingredients as fresh as the farm or boat they came from. 🌱🐟🥩

Because in your kitchen, quality is non-negotiable.

Salting to cure meat 🧂🥩 The process: rub or soak in salt, let it rest as moisture is drawn out, then finish by rinsing, drying, cooking, or smoking. Salt not only preserves by keeping bacteria at bay—it also enhances flavor and texture.

Farm-to-Table vs. Mass Distribution: Why Local Wins for Chefs & Communities

When chefs source Farm/Ranch/Boat Food—fresh produce, seafood, and meats straight from local farms, ranches & fishing boats—they’re not just getting better flavor and nutrition. They’re supporting local economies, reducing carbon footprints, and unlocking creative, seasonal menus that keep diners coming back.

By contrast, larger distribution channels often rely on mass-produced goods shipped from far away—meaning longer supply chains, more emissions, and less quality and freshness.

At HRVST Chef’s Market, every ingredient is local, fresh, and sustainably sourced—so chefs can plate not just meals, but a better future.
