Crab

Crab is often sold ready-cooked but live crabs are also available. Both the white flesh found in the legs and claws and the brown meat from the body are delicious. A little goes a long way to add a special succulence and flavour to seafood salads. Crabmeat can be used to flavour sauces and stuffings for fish. Dressed crab is also sold – the fishmonger will have removed the crabmeat and replaced it attractively in the shell.
