Oyster Crab at Food Glossary
What is it? A diminutive soft-shell crab that makes its home inside an oyster and lives off the food its host eats. Jamaican oyster crabs are certainly not found in all oysters, and most oyster processing plants dont bother to collect them during shucking so the supply is very limited. Theyre best prepared simply saut?ed in butter. Gourmets consider these pale-pink crustaceans a delicacy.Cooking Dictionary Term Added By: Isabelle
