Crab

Many recipes call for lump crabmeat. When buying crabmeat, the meat should have a white or creamy color; skip meat that looks gray or blue. Smell the meat, as you would any seafood. Quality crabmeat should smell like the ocean, and the texture should feel firm and moist. Be sure to remove pieces of shell before using crabmeat in recipes. Try working crabmeat into this delicious recipe, which combines tender crab with wholesome cornbread.
