Information about North Sea crabs

North Sea crabs, also known as garnet, sand shrimp, or crab, are a popular delicacy in northern Germany. They are native to the North Sea and the adjacent eastern Atlantic.

Here is some information about the product knowledge of North Sea crabs:

Appearance: North Sea crabs are small and reddish-brown in color. They have long antennae and characteristic claws.

Fishing method: North Sea crabs are caught using special baskets or nets that are dragged along the seabed. This method, known as trawler fishing, is environmentally friendly and catches both male and female crabs.

Processing: After being caught, the North Sea crabs are boiled and then shelled. This process, called peeling, requires great skill and patience because the crabs are very small. The peeled crabs are then sorted and can be sold fresh, cooked, or as whole shrimp.

Flavor: North Sea crabs have an intense, sweet flavor and tender, white meat. The rich flavor of the crabs complements many dishes and is often used as a side dish to salads, on rolls, or in soups.

Storage and shelf life: Fresh North Sea crabs should be refrigerated and consumed within a few days. Peeled and packaged crabs can be refrigerated for a little longer. It is also possible to freeze North Sea crabs to extend their shelf life. Health benefits: North Sea crabs are rich in protein and low in fat. They are also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids and minerals such as iron, magnesium, and calcium.
