Crustaceans - (Blue Crab)

Product Description

The flavor of the meat is mild with low oiliness and moist flesh. Flesh (from claws and body): 35% of total weight. With their sweet, nutty flavour, and evenly textured, moist, firm flesh, blue swimmer crabs make superb eating. The firm texture and delicate flavour of the blue swimmer crab make it excellent for serving with pasta. Either as a filling for tortellini and ravioli, or as the “meat” layer in a lasagne, blue swimmer makes a delicious addition. The claws can be crumbed, stuffed, or served with chilli, ginger or plum sauces after deep frying. Be careful not to damage any of the shell if the flesh is to be removed, as blue swimmer crabs are prized for perfect presentation. Poaching, steaming, boiling and microwaving are the most appropriate methods of cooking, but this crab is also superb in soups and makes great curries. Also try stir-frying, panfrying or making crab balls.
