5 Side Dishes That Complement Crabs

5 Side Dishes That Complement Crabs

Side salads are relatively simple and complement most dishes but go exceptionally well with crabs, adding a healthy, refreshing, and sophisticated taste to your crab dish.

Crabs are a delicious and popular seafood dish that can be consumed on its own or paired with many other side dishes. Due to the sweet, juicy, savory, and distinguished taste of crab meat, it’s important to find a side dish that isn’t overpowering and complements its flavor. Listed below are five side dishes that pair well with crabs for a fulfilling seafood dinner.

Vegetables

Vegetables are a traditional side dish that pairs well with crabs and consists of broccoli, asparagus, carrots, zucchini, Brussel sprouts, corn, and others. Raw, grilled, boiled, steamed, and roasted vegetables complement crabs’ savory taste, creating a well-balanced and sophisticated meal.

Salad

Side salads are relatively simple and complement most dishes but go exceptionally well with crabs, adding a healthy, refreshing, and sophisticated taste to your crab dish. When it comes to a fresh, tossed, and a crisp side salad, you can’t go wrong.

Potatoes

In addition to vegetables, crabs also go well with potatoes. Potatoes are quick, easy, and versatile side dishes that can be cooked in several ways, including baked, mashed, and fried, and is ideal for creating the perfect potatoes and crabs combination.

French-fries

You can always resort to french fries for a quick, convenient, and easy handheld side. Simply adding seasoning to french fries enhances its flavor, complementing the buttery, seasoned, and savory taste of well-cooked crab meat.

Deviled Eggs

Deviled eggs are a unique finger food side dish filled with a savory flavor that pairs well with various dishes, including crabs. Deviled eggs can be made using a wide range of seasonings and sauces, ideal for serving with crabs at parties and events.
