Trader Joe's Canned Crab Meat (Chicken of the Sea)

New Product! 

A while ago my mother and I were shopping at Trader Joe's and bought the store brand crab meat.  She had bought it to take back to Hawaii since a friend of hers had told her it was delicious.  As we were checking out the sales associate told us about the Chicken of the Sea Canned Crab they carried in the refrigerated section.  She thought that was the best.  I made a mental note to try that one day and I finally did.

Yesterday I opened the canned crab and there wasn't any liquid to drain so there really was a ton of meat!  Which is good since the can runs around eight dollars.  I simply mixed the crab meat with mayonnaise and black pepper.  I put this in a sandwich with lettuce and Swiss cheese and it was yummy!  It yielded about five sandwiches so even though the crab meat wasn't cheap it wasn't too bad for five sandwiches.

There is a recipe on the can for crab cakes that I hope to try next.

  1. eight bucks? You got ripped off. I get a can of lump for $3.50.
