Bought frozen crab cakes from a couple places. They were OK. Tried crab meat from Sam's & Wal-Mart. This product is superior to any thing else I've tried. Good price on a good product.
Here's my recipe:
Southern Style Crab Cakes w/ Roasted Pepper chive Aioli
Ingredients:
12 oz lump crab meat, drained (reserve liquid for later. May be used to make meat mix the right consistency or to extend mixture with extra bread crumbs if needed)
¼ cup celery, finely diced
½ cup chives, minced (¼ cup for meat mix- ¼ cup for chive aioli)
½ cup mayonnaise (¼ cup for meat mix- ¼ cup for chive aioli)
1 large egg
2 tsp Dijon mustard
¼ tsp hot sauce
App. ½ cup plain bread crumbs. Add bread crumbs or reserved liquid as needed to get correct consistency after refrigeration
¼ cups roasted red pepper, drained

4-10-10. Changed recipe to panko bread crumbs. Big improvement. Adds great texture/crunch to crab cakes. Ordering another case of crab meat today.

The best canned crab meat I have found to date. Texture is amazing. Makes perfect crabcakes and dip. Worth every penny.

Well, I just had to try canned crab meat. I'd never had it, so I bought a can of it retail (and I decided that on-line is the way to shop for products like this).

The meat looked and smelled fresh and was wrapped in a little cloth-like baggy. I was impressed. But not being a chef I just wolfed it down out of the can and it tasted like crab meat that had been soaked in water for a long time. This is no substitute for fresh crab like the crab that's in it's shell on ice, but it's better than I expected canned crab to be.

This stuff is really good. I live in the DC Metro area so I go to Baltimore a lot and the Eastern Shore so I know what good crab meat tastes like. This stuff beats any canned product out there, but live crab freshly picked is better. It is fantastic, and you can tell by the way it is wrapped up and well taken care of in the can. I would highly recommend this it makes for great crab dip and crab cakes.

Received the product in good order. However, I could really not tell any difference from Crown Prince regular Lump White Crab Meat which sells for less. It is good, but not worth the extra cost.

I find the product overpriced, but ordering it online cut the price almost in half. Good quality, good for seafood gumbo.

Family members are allergic...very allergic to MSG. This IS MSG free....plus it is great crab. Makes fabulous dip or incredible crab cakes. The save and ship is a great option.And it really is natural. THat makes it a keeper in our household.

This crab meat is superior to anything you'll find in a can or frozen in the grocery store. If you love crab cakes or cooking with crab meat, then this stuff is the next best thing to fresh crab. Store bought crab cakes skimp on the meat or use imitation meat, this is 100% real crab. The meat is sweet and tender and perfect for cooking. I've made crab cakes for a stand alone meal and crab cakes for filet oscar. I've not been disappointed yet.

The crab meat is bland, pulpy, over cooked, mushy, tasteless and usable only buried in soup or stew. It is not lump crab meat; it is pulverized crab mush.It is not good enough to make crab cakes or put in salad. I will figure out a use for it now that I have it, but I am sorry for the almost complete waste of money. In short, it's junk.

This is the only brand of canned crab meat I've tried, but I am unlikely to try others because this is excellent. Of course it's different from fresh crab, but I like the clean, fresh taste very much. I used up most of my last order in stir-fries, but now that summer is here, my thoughts are turning to crab salad. I've never seen it in my local grocery stores, but I live in a very unfancy place.
