Crab eggs, also known as crab roe, have a rich history in many coastal cuisines. The delicate, flavorful eggs are harvested from female crabs and are considered a delicacy in many parts of the world. In regions like the Chesapeake Bay in the United States, crab eggs are a prized ingredient in dishes like crab cakes and seafood stews. Renowned chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Emeril Lagasse have showcased the unique flavor of crab eggs in their culinary creations. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in seafood restaurants along the East Coast, where the freshest crab eggs are used to create exquisite dishes. The key to preparing crab eggs is to handle them with care to preserve their delicate texture and flavor.
