Product Information
Discover the flavorful elegance of fresh, live Atlantic edible crab, locally known as tourteau, from La poissonnerie. Sourced from the pristine waters of the North Atlantic Ocean, each crab is hand-selected for its robust size and rich, reddish-brown carapace. This unique species is known for its tender, sweet meat and its characteristic "pie crust" edge and black-tipped claws. Our crabs are delivered live, ensuring you receive the freshest, most succulent seafood experience.
How to UseLive edible crabs from La poissonnerie are perfect for steaming or boiling. To cook, simply place your live crab in a large pot of heavily salted boiling water and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes. The crab is ready when it turns a bright orange color. Once cooked, it can be cracked open to reveal the delicate, delicious meat within. The meat can be enjoyed as is or used in a variety of dishes.
Suggested RecipesFresh Atlantic edible crab meat can be used in a wide variety of recipes. It is excellent in a classic French bouillabaisse or seafood paella. For a simple, elegant appetizer, try pairing the crab meat with fresh avocado and a squeeze of lemon. Another great idea is to use the meat in a rich, creamy crab bisque, served with crusty French bread. For a truly indulgent treat, consider making a classic crab au gratin, using the crab meat, gruyere cheese, and a touch of cream.
