Crab Claws, Raw
Crab claws are the meaty pincers harvested from various crab species, typically sold raw and pre-cracked for convenience. The tender, sweet flesh provides a lean protein source rich in vitamin B12 and selenium, while remaining low in fat and calories. These shellfish require brief cooking methods like steaming or boiling, are naturally low in mercury, and are commonly served chilled with dipping sauces despite carrying shellfish allergen warnings.
