One of the simplest and most delicious ways to enjoy them is to steam the crab and serve it with melted garlic butter. You can also grill the crab with a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of fresh herbs for a light, smoky flavour. The sweet, tender meat is also wonderful when tossed into risottos, pasta dishes, or seafood salads, adding a touch of luxury to any meal.
