About Crustaceans, crab, blue, cooked, moist heat
Crab is the sweet, delicate shellfish that turns a meal into a bit of an occasion — picked from the shell of a blue crab here, prized for its tender, faintly sweet white meat. Whether in cakes, salads or simply with a squeeze of lemon, it's a treat as much as a protein.
Nutritionally it's lean and light: high in protein with very little fat, and a strong source of vitamin B12, selenium, zinc and copper. The one thing to watch is sodium, which can run naturally high and higher still in processed or canned crab.
Sweet, low in fat and rich in minerals, crab is one of the more luxurious ways to eat lean protein — best kept simple so its flavor comes through.
