The spider crab is a true delicacy from the cold waters of the Atlantic, especially off the coasts of Brittany and Normandy. Recognizable by its long legs and spiny shell, this crustacean hides tender, flavorful meat beneath its rugged exterior. Its flesh is delicate, slightly fibrous, with a natural sweetness and subtle notes of the sea. The most prized parts are the claws and body, offering rich, aromatic meat that melts in your mouth.
