If you’re craving a summer seafood feast without all the work, Costco just made your weekend plans a whole lot easier. Their ready-to-eat Seafood Boil with Dungeness Crab and Mussels is basically a coastal celebration in a container.
This is a fully cooked seafood mix that’s ready to enjoy straight from the package or after a quick warm-up. You’re getting Dungeness crab and mussels that have already been prepared, so all the messy cooking and timing coordination is done for you. It’s sold by the pound.
The convenience factor here is huge—no boiling giant pots of water, no worrying about overcooking delicate seafood, and no kitchen smelling like the ocean for days. That said, since this is pre-cooked, you’re paying for that convenience, and you’ll want to eat it pretty quickly since seafood doesn’t have the longest shelf life even when refrigerated.
