Chef’s secret

You can freeze crab meat for up to a month. The meat will lose some of its moisture and texture while thawing, but it will still be good for favourites like croquettes, spreads, and salads.

Nutrition tip

Crab meat is an excellent source of protein, Vitamin B12, selenium, copper, and zinc. It also contains omega-3 fatty acids which help prevent heart disease.
