Do you like seafood? If so, you are probably familiar with one of the most popular crustaceans to find on dinner plates all around the world, the mighty crab. The United States’ coastal regions are rich in different species that are admired worldwide for their delicious flavors.
If you find yourself on the American coast, be sure to keep an eye out for these three delicious local crabs.
Dungeness Crab
The Dungeness crab is a treasure of the United States’ Pacific coast, from northern California to Washington. The mild and slightly sweet flavor of this medium-sized crab is typically enjoyed after simply steaming the animal.
Chesapeake Blue Crab
The Chesapeake Bay, a large estuary that is shared between the East Coast states of Virginia and Maryland, is the home of this special crab. These small crabs are said to be one of the sweetest ones out there, and its meat is especially juicy and tender.
Florida Stone Crab
If you find yourself on vacation in the southeastern state of Florida, keep your eyes open for this crab on the menu. The claws of this crab are the only part of the animal that is eaten due to their large size and abundance of meat.
