Why Crab is a Winner
Crab is a brilliant choice for any meal – it’s low in fat, high in protein, and packed with nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, which are great for your heart and brain. Our 50/50 Crab Meat (454g) for £10.98 comes in a handy split tray with brown and white meat, perfect for versatile cooking. We also offer Frozen Crab Meat 50/50, ready-made Crab Cakes, and Macre Crab Stix for quick snacks. Here’s a look at the types of crab in our products:
-
Brown Crab: Found in our 50/50 Crab Meat, it has a rich, sweet flavour. The brown meat (from the body) is creamy, while the white meat (from claws and legs) is light and flaky.
-
Crab Stix: Our Macre Crab Stix are made from processed fish with a crab-like flavour, great for quick bites or salads.
Whether you’re using our 50/50 Crab Meat or Crab Cakes, these products make cooking easy and delicious. Here are two recipes to try with our products, perfect for GCSE-level cooks!
