THINK CRAB
Crabmeat lends a touch of elegance to any fish dish, as well as a good supply or protein, calcium and minerals. You can combine it with less expensive fish to stretch it in sauces, salads, chowders and dips. Crabs are available live (close to the place of capture), frozen (cooked in the shell) and canned. Some processors have floating canneries to facilitate immediate packing of the fresh crabs.
