Crab Meat

Crab meat is one of the most prized seafood ingredients, valued for its delicate, sweet-salty flavor and fibrous, juicy texture. It is sourced from various crab species, most commonly king crab, snow crab, or common crab. The meat is found in the claws, legs, and body. In the kitchen, it is used in salads, soups, pasta, risotto, sushi, and as a filling for tacos or stuffed pancakes. It is available fresh, frozen, pasteurized, or canned. Crab meat is an excellent source of easily digestible protein, selenium, zinc, and vitamin B12. It pairs beautifully with citrus fruits, butter, fresh herbs, or spicy sauces.
