Canned Backfin Crab, Drained

EverydayCannedDrained

Canned backfin crab is pasteurized blue crab meat sourced from the body cavity, prized for its sweet, delicate flavor and flaky texture. While more tender and slightly saltier than fresh crab due to the canning process, it provides a convenient, low-calorie source of lean protein and essential minerals like selenium. The drained meat is fully cooked and ready to use in salads, dips, or crab cakes, though its sodium content may require consideration for restricted diets.
