It’s one my favorite things. Going to fancy seafood restaurant tomorrow we go to every once in a while. Yes. In KY. They claim stuf is delivered daily. I’m also a fisherman.
My question is do they just open a big can of lump crap meat, put it on ice? I mean I order it every time and it’s delicious. @midcap apparently google says Louisiana is biggest producer of blue crab, which is where the fine lump crab comes from I can bet there no way that restaurant shucks the crabs onsite. |

Yes, it is canned or in a plastic container. I've always purchased it in a plastic container, I live on the Gulf Coast.
Maybe in bulk they get it in some tub or a thick bag, unless they are getting the crabs live and have some illegal shelling and picking the crab meat out. |

"Jumbo lump crab meat" is the meat that forms the muscle for the swimmer fins on Blue Crabs, each crab only has two of these muscles.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By osprey21: "Jumbo lump crab meat" is the meat that forms the muscle for the swimmer fins. Each crab only has two of these muscles. Lump is the large clump of meat from swim fin muscle in the main body of the crab. The crabs are cooked and then picked by hand. Usually we are talking about the Blue Crab. Your best choice for this is a nice crab cocktail (most places don't charge enough for this huge amount of meat). Or for a hot dish, Crab Imperial. |

having picked my share of steamed blue crabs for dinner, If you ever get a chance to watch a pro pick blue crab meat, go watch. I can starve to death picking crab meat to eat, but the pro's, nothing missed and the meat just flies out. I imagine they get paid by the pound from how fast they work

When opened correctly each leg can be pulled with its entire lump fully intact, ready to dip in some butter and chow down on

Swimmers. 2 lumps on each crab.
I used to go to seafood festivals on the Eastern Shore. They would have crab picking contests with commercial pickers. It was pretty amazing. They were judged by weight on backfin (jumbo lump), lump and special. They used butter knives which I found pretty awesome. Special has the most shell. An easy way to clean the shell is to thinly spread it out onto a sheet pan. Put into a hot oven for several minutes. This will make either shell turn opaque and easy to see. Then you can pick it out quickly. |

Didn't realize people didn't know you could buy lump crab meat at the grocery store. Usually on ice in a plastic container with a metal lid over here. They also sell just claw meat. My local to go joint makes the best crab cake which is basically all jumbo lump with minimal breading and seared on butter.
Also if you like to eat just crab, go to Brennan's in Houston and get their crab cake, they literally just take a cup and scoop a bunch of lump crab thats seasoned in cajun seasoning and put it on a plate. Like eating crab without having to pick it out the shell. |

I went to Maryland the one time back in ‘01. Had blues at that Family Restaurant across the street from the Constellation. I ordered a dozen large and my waitress told me, “Just to let you know, the large are from Louisiana.” Fried soft shells make a great Poboy. I always get tired of pickin’ first before I get full.

I’ve eaten my weight ten times over with Lake Pontchartrain blue crab. South Louisiana sure does seafood. |
