Paddler Crab - Whole, Raw and Frozen - 425 g
Paddler Crab is a whole, raw freshwater crab, sold frozen and glazed in a 425-gram package. It is the East Asian species Varuna litterata, which is well-known in Asian cuisine and used in a wide range of traditional dishes. The crab is delivered whole, without pre-processing, giving the chef full control over preparation. The product is particularly suitable for hot dishes such as soups, broths, and stews, but is also used in cold dishes like the classic green papaya salad, common in Southeast Asia. Before preparation, the crab should be thawed gently, and the raw product must always be thoroughly cooked before consumption. The meat of a paddler crab has a relatively firm texture with a mild, sweet oceanic flavor that pairs well with spicy sauces and aromatic herbs. The package contains whole crabs, individually glazed to preserve moisture and freshness during frozen storage. The packaging is a sealed plastic bag with an inner tray, which protects the crab during transport and storage. The product must be stored at a minimum of -18°C and must not be refrozen after thawing. With a high protein content of 11.7 g per 100 g and a low fat content of 1.2 g, the paddler crab is a nutritious choice for those seeking a protein-rich seafood dish. The product is aimed at food enthusiasts working with Asian cooking, as well as restaurants and households interested in authentic ingredients from Southeast Asia.
