Crab Meat Claws

Crab meat claws are excellent to serve as an appetizer or to add to the holiday buffet table and finger food to enrich. They are also sought after for snacks with pretzels and for a work break at the nearest bar. They provide the right boost and energy needed to continue.

You can also prepare them simply by purchasing the meat and shaping it into classic round patties with your hands. If you prefer them light, just bake them in the oven for about fifteen minutes simply placed on a sheet of aluminum foil.

  • 6 oz Crab claws (1 package)
  • 2 teaspoons Extra virgin olive oil
  • to taste Lemon juice

Preparation

  • Open the box of frozen crab meat claws (no need to defrost) and place them in the greased baking dish one next to the other, but not too close together.

    Bake in the preheated oven at about 536°F for approximately thirteen to fifteen minutes maximum.

  • Occasionally open the oven to turn the claws using two forks so that they cook evenly.

  • Remove the crab meat claws from the oven and serve them when everyone is already seated at the table, to eat them hot or almost warm.

  • Pour a few drops of lemon on top of the claws to further flavor them, and in my opinion, there’s no need to add salt. Enjoy your meal, there’s enough for seconds and thirds :).

  • Crab meat claws that are usually fried can also be baked in the oven, making it certainly more convenient and also healthier.

Some people are wary of these products, especially if packaged, as well as surimi and fish sticks that are not part of our traditional Italian cuisine, but personally, I enjoy them and just try not to overdo it. With this oven cooking method, I’m more at ease.
