Crab

Crab is a marine crustacean and one of the most popular seafood choices, known for its sweet and subtly salty flavor. The meat is found mainly in the claws and body, and is characterized by a white to pinkish color with a firm yet juicy texture. In the kitchen, it is used in a wide range of dishes, added to soups, risottos, pasta, and salads, or served on its own with butter and lemon. It is most commonly available fresh, frozen, or canned. Crab is a rich source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, and vitamin B12. It is especially popular in Asian, Mediterranean, and American cuisines.
