Bumble Bee White Flake Crab Meat in Water, 6 oz Can - 16g Protein & 1g Carb Per Serving - Wild Caught, Flaky, Drain Before Use, 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)

Great to add to gumbo to give it a rich flavor. Easy to use.

We purchased these to make crab cakes, but unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. As soon as we opened the can, it had a strong, unpleasant smell—similar to an uncleaned saltwater aquarium or stale seawater.The texture of the crab meat was both mushy and grainy, which was very off-putting. As for the taste, it mirrored the smell—like dirty saltwater or a poorly maintained fish tank.Overall, this was one of the most unpleasant experiences I’ve had with crab meat. I would not purchase this product again.

great

I did not like the fine minced texture, had weird flavor

Have to be honest I was not expecting much from canned crab. I’m originally from the northeast coast of the US and had access to fresh crabs before I moved outside Atl GA, so prepackaged isn’t the same experience and this was canned like tuna so my expectations were even lower. I was pleasantly surprised. It is minced up very finely which kind of reminded me of cat food but I soaked it in a sieve in ice cold water then pressed it down with my hand then a paper towel to get the excess moisture out. Used it in some crab cakes and while the texture wasn’t there (no lumps of crab meat) the taste was shockingly similar. I ordered this because I have been avoiding grocery shopping and we don’t have grocery delivery where I am now but I will likely use this again even when I can shop again without worrying about infecting my high risk kid. I don’t know how it would do in a crap dip but for crab cakes it worked great.

Since it is pre-flaked, Bumble Bee White Flake Crab Meat in Water works great in quick and easy crab patties and other recipes. Tastes great, is easy to use, and a good value, the can arrived in date and in very good condition. I would definitely purchase this crab meat again; five stars from me.

This is the worst!!! It’s not flaky- just a watery mushy texture with no taste! I had two cans and was going to make crab cakes, but you can’t with this. How can they sell this as crab meat???? I wish I could give it ZERO stars.

Unfortunately you never really know what you’re getting when you buy this, which is disappointing.It is possible to get good, flaky crab meat with no detritus in the can. But seemingly more often than not, you get shell fragments and mushy crab meat, or some degree of those.I’ve usually make dips and cakes with this and inspect for shell fragments as I mix the cans. I try to choose cans based on the can codes to get a variety of sources if available.
