Here is a great, but not complete list, of non-meat sources of protein, calcium and iron. Most are plant-based and can accommodate both vegans and vegetarians, but a few are non-vegan. Nuts, soy products (tofu, tempeh, miso, soy milk, edamame), seeds and sprouts, grains (quinoa, amaranth), beans and legumes.
Soft Shell Crabs- Soft crabs can be kept in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Any longer length of time they should be stored in the freezer. Soft crabs can be sautÃ©ed in a pan at medium heat with garlic butter until red develops on the shell and the underside develops a slightly golden color.
Another way to cut the risk of freezer burn is to buy vacuum-packed meats and poultry (which can also last about 2 days longer in the refrigerator). Leave seafood in its original packaging and, if possible, place on a bowl of ice in the refrigerator. However, live shellfish (like clams) should not be put on ice; open or poke holes in the packaging. To freeze seafood, slip the original packaging into a resealable freezer bag.
