About Potted crab

Potted Crab is a classic British dish featuring delicately cooked crab meat seasoned with spices such as nutmeg or cayenne and preserved in clarified butter. Originating from the tradition of potting foods for better shelf life, this seafood delicacy is often served as an appetizer or spread alongside crusty bread or crackers. Rich in protein, vitamins like B12, and minerals including selenium and zinc, crab offers valuable nutrients that support muscle repair, energy metabolism, and immune health. However, potted crab is also high in fat due to the added butter, which contributes to its creamy texture but increases calories and saturated fat content. While delicious, moderation is key when enjoying this indulgent treat. Perfect for seafood lovers, it combines simplicity and traditional flavors in a dish that remains iconic in British cuisine.
