CRAB guide guide

what is crab?

There are several species of crab that are commercially important in the United States. These include King and Snow crab caught in Alaska, Canada and Russia. Dungeness crab caught along the West coast and Alaska, and Blue crab caught along much of the Eastern seaboard and the Gulf of Mexico. Total commercial landings of all crab species in the U.S over the past decade have ranged from 275 to 350 million pounds per year with an annual dockside value between 400 and 550 million dollars. Fresh and frozen whole crab, sections or legs, and frozen, pasteurized or canned crab meat is also imported into the U.S. from many different countries around the world.

forms of crab

Most crab species are available as either live whole crabs, fresh cooked whole crabs, or frozen cooked whole crabs, sections or single legs. Crabs can be found in the marketplace all year because of freezing and other storage techniques. Crab meat that has been picked from the shell is also a common and popular product form. Crab meat is available as refrigerated fresh, pasteurized, or frozen meat and is often packed in metal or plastic containers. The meat of various types of crabs harvested in the U.S. and many other countries around the world is also available as a canned product.
