Dear Francisco,
In the Shellfish Association of Great Britain, we have just had a range of
lipid analyses carried out on UK commercial species, including brown crab,
Cancer pagurus. The interesting thing was the very high levels of omega 3s,
EPA and DHA, in a similar range to many oily fish, at about 2500mg/100g in
the brown meat and 175 mg/100g in the white meat. This is much higher than
previously published, but one thing has occurred to me, which you may be
able to answer. In the UK we eat the brown meat along with the white meat,
for example as 'dressed crab'. Most of the published values are US data, and
I am wondering whether crab brown meat is consumed in the US (I know they
don't usually eat scallops with the roe, which is where most of the omega3
is in scallops).
I can send you the original data which we hope to publish soon. We had
Autumn and Spring samples done and the was some seasonal variation , as you
would expect. Are you interested in the brown meat?
Regards.
