Tide | Other Crustaceans | Cooked crab, frog legs
A must-have for seafood platters, ready to eat
The cooked crab, selected by Atelier Marée de Le Delas, is a benchmark product for professionals in the catering and events sectors. This crustacean, renowned for its plentiful and flavourful meat, is cooked to perfection to ensure a firm texture without being stringy. Weighing 600 g, it makes a generous individual portion or a centrepiece for a shared seafood platter. Its shell protects delicate flesh, particularly concentrated in the claws and thorax, offering authentic flavours of the sea.
Professional uses, preparation and storage:
► Gastronomic applications: Already cooked, this crab makes preparation easy for cold buffets and catering services. It is traditionally enjoyed cold, accompanied by homemade mayonnaise, aioli sauce or a herb vinaigrette. Its meat can also be extracted to garnish more elaborate dishes: gourmet salads, seafood terrines, crab ravioli or even premium shellfish rillettes.
► Preparation: For the best presentation, we recommend slightly cracking the claws with a shellfish cracker before serving to make it easier for the customer to eat. If you wish to use it in a warm dish, it can be quickly reheated by steaming, but take care not to expose it to heat for too long to preserve the tenderness of the meat.
► Storage: A fresh, cooked product that must be stored in a refrigerated environment at a temperature between 0°C and +2°C. To preserve all its organoleptic qualities, it is recommended that it be consumed promptly after receipt.
The delicacy of an exceptional product for your gourmet creations and your most refined regional recipes.
