Crab meat (canned)

Crab meat is the cooked flesh extracted from crab shells, with a delicate, sweet, briny flavour and a flaky texture. It is used in salads, pasta, dips, and dishes like crab cakes, either fresh, frozen, or canned. Different parts of the crab, such as the claw and body meat, vary in texture and are sometimes sold separately.

Canned ingredients are often packed in liquid, which adds weight compared with the fresh or dried equivalent.
