Crab

Jamaica is home to both Mangrove Crabs (land-based, found near rivers and swamps) and Sea Crabs like the Blue Crab. Crabs are highly prized for their sweet, flaky meat and are a must-have during family gatherings or holidays. Pepper crab—a spicy, buttery crab dish—is a beloved favorite, often served with fried dumplings or bammy. Crabs are also featured in soups and seafood boils.
