Bumble Bee White Flake Crabmeat in Water, 6 oz Can (Pack of 4) – Wild Caught, 16g Protein & 1g Carb per Serving - Gluten Free - Great Use in Crab and Seafood Recipes

Great taste, texture and value for the money.

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.

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.

I made some yummy crab chowder, next time I will use it in crab cakes.

I've purchased this before and had no issues. However, this purchase...product is very watery, very grainy/mealy, and zero flavor. Well, a slight fishy flavor which crabmeat should not have. Not returnable, of course, but I will never buy this type/brand any time soon. It was just bad all around, even after draining it, it still retained water so I had to squeeze it and ended up with about a third of a can. It wasn't flakes, it was tiny little pieces that had the look and consistency of sand.

Tasteless. Be aware that this product has no taste. It’s all small bits and so adds no texture either. I won’t use it again. It just adds nothing to a salad or recipe and there are better nutritional choices out there. And the can says “flake”; ha! Nothing close to a flake inside.
