Canned Crab Meat

  Re: (...)
Just wondering what your favorite is. The product we get here is shredded----NO lumps. I will ask Mom to look for some next time she shops at her market once I know what you all have to say re: recommendations/preferences. TIA

Costco carries a brand - Phillips pasteurized lump meat that I reluctantly buy - can't say I prefer it, but I'll use it. As expected, I much prefer fresh - so use the canned sparingly.

I think that canned crab meat is made up of the lesser parts of the crab. It's not really a good grade. That's why I always go fresh.

Fresh crab is really expensive here. I buy the canned Philip's that Jean mentioned. I can usually get backfin, jumbo and claw. For crabcakes, I use a mixture of all 3.
Practice safe lunch. Use a condiment.

That's true, but since I don't buy canned anymore, I can't really say what's a good brand. Like I said, it's lower grade crabmeat in cans so the brand might not matter. I would say to try different ones and see if there's a difference.

Flarn----we don't have "different" brands here. My Mom is 82 years young--she needs specific instructions for purchases---Phillips?? that's a start---come on guys!!!

The only brand I've tried is the one they sell at Costco. I guess it would be Philips - all I remember is that it comes in a black can. I was expecting it to smell really crabby - it didn't though.

We made crab cakes on New Years with it and they turned out great. I would buy it again - I'd like to make some stuffed mushrooms one of these days.

Roxanne,
There was an article in CAH that had a discussion on canned crab meat and the Phillips was featured in the picture. I can't remember which issue it was but it was the one with the crab rangoons that I tried. They came out really well.
