Flavor Profile
Lump crab meat comes from the section of meat between the body and legs of the crab. The flakes are often larger and more mild than claw meat, but still retain all of that prized crab flavor. Red crab tends to be more stringy than blue crab, and often has a slightly more seafood-like taste.
Cooking Tips & Recipes
Thaw from frozen. Cook soon after thawing. Do not refreeze.
Red Crab Meat is a good alternative to Blue Crab Claw Meat, as they are both similar in flake size. Because it is unsafe to refreeze any crab meat after thawing, I recommend breaking a section off of the block to thaw while the remainder stays frozen.
