Crabs are one of several types of seafood that you can fish up in Disney Dreamlight Valley. However, with so many varieties of fish and sea critters available to discover in the game, many players may be wondering where crabs can be found. This magical life sim game describes crabs as tough little crustaceans with sharp claws. It can also be tough to find, as it is a species that only resides in one part of the game's expansive map.

Disney Dreamlight Valley: How To Make Crab Melts

Crab Melts are a two-star appetizer recipe in Disney Dreamlight Valley that are not only easy to make but also restore a lot of Energy.

Crab is also a type of Disney Dreamlight Valley ingredient that you can use in the game's ever-growing roster of cooking recipes, so you might be eager to go crab-fishing to whip up something special in the kitchen. Fortunately, provided you can access one particular biome in the game, crab isn't too difficult to find.

Where To Find Crab In Disney Dreamlight Valley

Fishing for crabs in the frosted heights in Disney dreamlight valley

While you might expect to find crabs scuttling along the shores of Dazzle Beach, there is only one biome where you can get your hands on a crab, and it couldn't be more different. To find crabs in Disney Dreamlight Valley, head to the Frosted Heights biome, a chilly landscape north of the map.

To catch a crab in Disney Dreamlight Valley, you must fish in white or blue ripples in rivers or ponds in the Frosted Heights. While you'll probably fish up other Disney Dreamlight Valley fish first, crabs are a pretty regular spawn, so you shouldn't have to wait for too long to acquire one. If you try fishing in orange ripples, you'll typically find species like White Sturgeon.

Once caught, you can eat a crab to replenish +1,200 energy or sell it at Goofy's Stall for 600 Gold Star Coins. Alternatively, you might want to gift a crab to one of the villagers or use it to complete some quest objectives, such as in Nala's 'The Heart of a Lioness' quest. However, it's probably more likely that you'll be cooking some dishes with crab in the kitchen.
