What goes with Brown Crab Meat?
Brown crab meat denotes the soft brown body material of edible crab, including the hepatopancreatic fraction and sometimes roe, rather than the white muscle flakes from claws and legs. It is rich, savoury and paste-like; water and fat levels vary markedly across animals, seasons and processing methods.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Brown Crab Meat?
Choose a supporting structure for the soft flesh: crisp toast, a fine tuile or an egg-set custard can carry it. Citrus, lactic acidity and measured pungency give definition, while sweet or fermented ingredients need tight dosing. Evidence about white crab must not be assumed to describe this ingredient.
