DUNGENESS CRAB

When not drowned in butter or packed into a cake and fried, the meat of these Northern Pacific crustaceans can be seriously slimming-three ounces contains only 73 calories and 15 grams of satisfying protein. Crabs are usually cooked like lobsters (boiled alive); if that makes you feel mean, Geagan suggests opting for
frozen, which is just as tasty and healthy.
  Flavour profile:                  
Succulent, delicate,
sweet, and slightly salty
Best with:      
 Mild flavors such as avocado to complement its clean brininess; biting lemon,lime, or fiery Cajun spices for culinary contrast
Try it:
Boiled and chilled. Toss the meat into a salad for a deliaous twist on nioise; fold some into
your next omelet; serve with cocktail sauce
for a light appetizer.
