What is National Crab Meat Day?
National Crab Meat Day (also National Crabmeat Day) is a day to commemorate one of America's favorite crustaceans, and it is celebrated annually on March 9th. With 1.5 million tons of crab consumed every year around the world, many crab meat enthusiasts celebrate every year.
Although crab meat is a healthier option, the fat and calories rise when you add the butter. And while there are thousands of species of crabs, only certain ones are edible. The blue crab, stone crab, Dungeness, king, and rock or snow crabs are among the most popular and tasty ones in the United States. They are available in both hard and soft shells and can be found along both the coasts and Hawaii.
Many ways can be enjoyed while enjoying the meat of these crustaceans. Boiled crab, whether the legs or the whole animal, will result in a feast that necessitates some manual labor from the diner. However, every delectable morsel is well worth the effort. To make dips, cakes, or soups, mix the meat with other ingredients.
