Fresh Hand Picked Crab Meat

If you want the sweet, delicious taste of crab meat, but don’t want the hassle that goes with steaming, cracking open Blue Crabs, and picking out the meat from every crevice, then try our hand-picked crab meat! Fresh lump crab meat comes from the body of the crab. It’s smaller than jumbo crab meat. Fresh lump crab meat can be mixed easily with a fork, and won’t become mushy. Lump crab meat tends to hold its shape. It has a fine texture and a medium flavor. Lump crab meat is perfect for crab cakes, pasta dishes, and crab pies.

Jumbo lump crab meat comes from the two muscles of a crab’s swimming fins. It tends to be larger meat than regular lump crab meat. It also tends to cost more than other hand-picked crab meat, because it takes a lot of crabs to fill one container. Also, the meat has a sweeter taste and possesses a finer texture than standard crab meat. Take care when prepping, however, because its meat can be easily overwhelmed by spices. Since it has a savory flavor without much help, jumbo lump crab meat is perfect for chilled seafood cocktails and crab salads.
