McDonald’s of the Bay Area after its success in Gilroy Garlic Fries, the world’s number one fast food chain is testing another regional favorite: Crab Sandwich.

The sandwich will feature snow crab blended with seasoned mayonnaise and diced celery, served with tomato slices and romaine lettuce atop a toasted sourdough bun that’s been brushed with herb butter.

Chef Ryan Scott is helping Bay Area McDonald’s in developing the recipe, Scoot is a Top Chef contestant, TV-radio personality and he is the owner of the “Fin Town Restaurant” in San Francisco.

Nick Vergis of McDonald’s said that they wanted to test their own take on the beloved crab sandwich.

“We’re excited for our customers to try it and share their feedback,” said the Co-op president for the Greater Bay Area in a statement.

Started from February 9th the sandwich will be offered at four McDonald’s at 11 a.m. in the South Bay Area.
