The 9th of March is Crabmeat Day.

If you’re a crab lover, this is a day when you won’t want to find yourself left out of the festivities (though a few crabs might rather give it a miss.)

Larger chunks of crabmeat work perfectly in pastas and salads.  Small flakes are good in crabcakes, sauces, crab salad rolls, etc.

You may also wish to try kanikama: Japanese imitation crab sticks.

Treat yourself to a crab meal for dinner or a crabmeat sandwich for lunch, and learn about various types of crab.

History

The earliest reference to a Crabmeat Day in March that CooksInfo has found in print archives dates from 2000 in New Hampshire:

“The 8th is a dual holiday: Working Women’s Day and Be Nasty Day… Nastiness begets crabbiness, so March 9 is National Crabmeat Day” (Jacobs, Larry. Talk about big days, and each important! Nashua, New Hampshire: The Sunday Telegraph. 27 February 2000. Page D-2, col. 2.)

Random Quote

‘This special feeling towards fruit, its glory and abundance, is I would say universal…. We respond to strawberry fields or cherry orchards with a delight that a cabbage patch or even an elegant vegetable garden cannot provoke.’ — Jane Grigson (English food writer. 13 March 1928 – 12 March 1990)
