There are a wide variety of crabs. A crustacean notable for its sideways walk, claws and armoured shell! There are more than 4000 species crabs. Many of us avoid eating crabs as they feel that Crab cleaning is a very tedious job, but it’s worth the time as crab meat is one of the most prized delicacy that people crave to eat. Crab meat is delicate giving an impressive texture and delightful experience to the palate.

It is versatile delicacy that is used in a wide variety of dishes like salads, soups, starters, pates or served as a main course. Some of the popular classic crab dishes are the crab cakes or patties (crab cake is an American dish composed of crab meat and various other ingredients, such as bread crumbs, milk, mayonnaise, eggs, yellow onions, and seasonings), pepper crab (is one of the two most popular ways that crab is served in Singapore.

It is made with hard-shell crabs, and cooked in thick gravy made with black pepper), crab masala, crab with ginger  or crab and corn chowder etc. Crab meat is mainly prized high for its, soft, delicate sweet taste. The Brown Crab contains two 'grades' of meat: White Meat from the claws and legs is low in fat and high in protein, having a delicate, sweet flavour while the brown meat from the body has a higher natural fat content, but is also extremely high in Omega-3.

Crab meat is just as good eaten hot as it is cold. It is great in salads, soups or soufflés and goes well with cream, butter, lemon and chilli. Canned crabmeat is useful for adding to pasta or making quick crab cakes. Crab claws yield sweet, dense white meat similar to lobster meat, while the flesh from under the hard upper shell is soft, rich and brown. Crab liver is considered a delicacy. Male crabs tend to have larger claws and more white meat.

However, the females sometimes contain coral - a flavoursome red roe. The common edible varieties of crab are: European Brown crab:  popular all over Europe, this crab is available all year round. It reaches 20-25cm/8-10in across and has heavy front claws with almost-black pincers, a rusty-red or brown shell, and red hairy legs mottled with white.
