BOOKLET ON "HOW TO COOK CRABS"

Housewives, home economists, and food editors will be interestedin a new fish- cookery publication, How to Cook Crabs, which was released January 24 bythe United States Fish and Wildlife Service. The booklet €™ contains 32 choice recipes which have been de- f velopedand kitchen-testedby theService's staff

of home economists.

Crabs are one of our popular shellfish be- cause of theirtender meat and distinctive flavor. Crab meat also is an excellent source of high- quality proteins, vitamins, and minerals needed for good nutrition. Modern processing and mar- keting methods now make crabs available almost everywhere inthe United States. Crabs are available inthese market forms: live; cooked in the shell; cooked and frozen; fresh cooked meat; and canned meat.

As the booklet explains, four principal kinds . of crabs are taken from the marine waters of the United States and Alaska. From the Atlantic and Gulf coasts come blue crabs which compose three-fourths of all the crabs [marketed in this country. Dungeness crabs are found on the Pacific coast from Alaska to Mexi- : co. King crabs come from > Imperial Crab the North Pacific off Alas- ka. Rock crabs are taken onthe New England and Cal- iforniacoasts. Oflocalim- portance are stone crabs in Floridaand tanner crabs in Alaska.

The four principal kinds of crabs are pictured in the booklet and their ap- proximate weights are list- ed. Complete illustrated instructions are given for picking the meat from blue crabs.

‘

Some of the easy-to prepare recipes included in the new publication are: Crab Louis, Crab Ravigote, Crab Newburg, Deviled Crab, Imperial Crab, Avocados Stuffed with Crab Meat, and Barbecued Crab Sandwiches.

Generously illustrated, How to Cook Crabs, Test Kitchen Series No. 10, may be purchased for 20 cents each from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D. C.
