Crab

Crab is a popular shellfish used in many cuisines—from coastal American and Southeast Asian dishes to European seafood platters—valued for its sweet, delicate meat and versatile use in salads, soups, and crab cakes. It is a lean source of animal protein, providing 17.9g of protein per 100g, with relatively low total fat and saturated fat. Crab also supplies important nutrients commonly sought in seafood, including vitamin B12, selenium and omega-3 fatty acids, which support nerve function, antioxidant defenses and heart health; its amino-acid profile makes it a high-quality protein choice.
