Atlantic Jonah Crab
Crack off a claw; they’ll grow more. The powers of the Jonah Crab!
Caught in baited pots or traps from New York to Massachusetts shorelines, Jonah Crabs resemble the Western Coast Dungeness, but grow to a smaller size. Don’t worry about the taste, though. It’s scrumptious! The claws tantalize the taste buds with tender, flaky meat with a sweet finisher. Go ahead and eat with assurance since the claws break off at the joint that quickly heals and grows a new one. In fact, Jonah Crabs naturally lose their claws when scurrying through tight spots or escaping sea predators. With 26 calories, 5 grams of protein and 128 mg of omega-3s, you can’t go wrong with this dietary choice. What an exquisite meal! Try Jonah Crab Linguine with Garlic & Chile Sauce or grab some cocktail sauce and get a dipp’n! Follow us on Facebook for recipes and blogs.
