White Meat
Crab white meat is the collective pale flake from body and claws—mild, sweet, and the default packing grade for cakes and salads. Jumbo lump, lump, and special grades sort flake size. Handle cold and fold gently. Salt lightly; acid and fat (mayo, butter, olive oil) frame the sweetness without masking it.
