About Blue swimmer crab

The Blue Swimmer Crab, also known as the blue crab or sand crab, is a seafood delicacy native to the shallow waters of the Indo-Pacific region, widely used in Australian, Southeast Asian, and Mediterranean cuisines. Renowned for its sweet, tender meat, this crab is rich in protein and low in calories, making it a nutritious option for health-conscious diners. It is also a good source of essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, and vitamin B12, which support heart health, boost immunity, and support energy production. However, like most shellfish, it is relatively high in cholesterol, so moderation may be advised for individuals managing heart conditions. Often steamed, grilled, or added to curries, this flavorful crab enhances dishes while maintaining a balance between taste and health benefits.
