Some crabs are eaten whole, including the shell, as soft-shell crab, with other crabs it's just the claws and/or legs that are eaten. Crabs are also used in soups, like in bisque, a global dish of French origin. Looking for a new and different finger food for parties? You can use fresh or canned crab for these delicious crab puffs!
