Dressed Crab

ORIGIN: UK

(240g approx) total weight with upwards of 170g of crab meat.

Dressing a crab involves removing all of the meat from the crab, separating it into white meat and brown meat and then possibly adding spices to it. The top half of the crab shell is cleaned out and the meat is arranged in the shell for serving.

Dressed crab is a perfect summer dish, with sweet white crab meat balanced by the more flavoursome creamy brown meat, all enjoyed from the crab shell which doubles up as an elegant serving receptacle.
