Blue Star Chunk Crab

[Otter]

All this talk about crab cakes firmed my resolution to find some chunk crab. All I could find locally, other than canned, was Blue Star Chunk Crab in a pouch like they now sell tuna in (except this was refreigerated). Under ingredients, the only contents listed were crab and a color preservative, so I bought some. Anyone familiar with this stuff?

Otter, I bought some, also in a pouch in the freezer section, a few months ago and it was really good and a huge improvement over canned. Mine was backfin, as I recall.

had it a few weeks ago with shrimp and squid in a seafood salad, very good...

Mine said "Blueswimming" which I've never heard of. It was about $5.42 per 6 ounces. My only two options were that and the claw meat, which was about a buck less. Now if I can only keep my nose out of the pouch long enough to make the crabcakes!

Good luck, pal!

I already got out my eraser and moved them up to Friday night. Here is their web site in case anyone is interested:

That's the stuff! It was the special meat that I got.

Geez. This makes me want some good cakes, too! You'll eat well tomorrow!

Wow, that looks good. I've been wanting to try a new recipe for corn crab chowder, I'll have to find some of this. Did you all find it frozen (with the Mrs. Paul's kind of stuff) or somewhere else?

[Otter]

Mine was in the refrigerated, not the frozen, but I imagine it could be in either section depending on the store.

I found mine in the freezer case with other seafood (cod, bass, flounder) and frozen crawfish tails.
