The essential ingredient for rich, intense sauce and bisque bases The green crab, selected by Atelier Marée de Le Delas, is a first-class ingredient for professionals in the seafood industry. This small wild crustacean, delivered live to ensure maximum freshness and aromatic intensity, is renowned for its exceptional concentration of briny flavours. Packaged in 5 kg packs, it meets the needs of demanding kitchens for creating technical bases requiring a raw and authentic ingredient. Professional uses, preparation and storage: ► Culinary applications: Although rarely eaten for its meat due to its small size, the green crab is the aromatic backbone of bisques, rockfish soups and shellfish stocks. Once crushed and roasted, its shell releases juices of remarkable depth. It is also used to make crab butters or infused oils that serve as a base for refined emulsions. Chefs particularly appreciate it for intensifying the flavour of paellas or reductions intended to accompany fine fish. ► Preparation: To extract the full essence, it is recommended to crack the live crabs before sweating them vigorously with aromatic herbs. Careful deglazing will allow you to recover all the caramelised juices. For a traditional fish soup, they are crushed and then strained to add body and structure to the stock. ► Storage: A live product that must be stored in a refrigerated environment, between 0°C and +4°C, ideally in a container that maintains a certain level of humidity without the product being fully submerged. To preserve the integrity of the flavours and the vitality of the product, it is recommended that it be used promptly after receipt. Location in store: Atelier Marée
