crab

Crabs are decapod crustaceans of the infraorder Brachyura, which typically have a very short projecting "tail" (abdomen) (Greek: βραχύς, romanized: brachys = short, οὐρά / οura = tail), usually entirely hidden under the thorax. They live in all the world's oceans, in fresh water, and on land, are generally covered with a thick exoskeleton and have a single pair of pincers. Many other animals with similar names – such as hermit crabs, king crabs, porcelain crabs, horseshoe crabs, and crab lice – are not true crabs.

    Recipe Corn and Crab Chowder

    The corn and crab complement each other in this chowder (chowda for New Englanders). I've seen many "crab" dishes where the crab gets lost in the other ingredients. That, to me is a waste of expensive jumbo lump crab meat. The use of celery, green bell pepper and onion (trinity) hints of Creole...

    Stone Crab

    In Florida we have a renewable resource with stone crabs. The legal size claws are harvested and the crab is returned to the water to regenerate new ones. By law, these claws must be cooked before being sold. I purchase these from a place in Everglades City that has their own fleet of boats. I...
