Recently, I had the opportunity to eat a crab meat salad sandwich made with Chicken of the Sea White Crab Meat. It was the first time I had eaten this variety of canned crab meat and I thought that it was quite good. So good in fact, that I would like to review it. Presented here, in an effort to assist the consumer, is one food writer’s product review of Chicken of the Sea White Crab Meat.
Size
The net weight of the container of Chicken of the Sea White Crab Meat being reviewed here is six ounces. According to the product’s nutrition facts label, the container holds approximately two 2 ounce servings. In physical size, the can is roughly the same size as many cans of tuna.
Price
The regular retail price charged for one six ounce container of Chicken of the Sea White Crab Meat at Hartford, Connecticut area supermarkets ranges between $2.29 and $2.79. This product is also periodically on sale for roughly $1.99 at many of these stores.
I think that this price is reasonable, especially compared to the price of fresh crabmeat.
Texture
This canned crab meat offers a pleasing texture. When I ate this crab meat, it was in a salad that was already prepared. The crab meat was shredded and its texture was definitely that of real crab meat, not some type of by – product.
The white meat is soft, yet appropriately firm and does not contain any mystery – type ingredients.

This product also contains 0 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams total fat, 50 mg of cholesterol, 400 mg of sodium, 1 total carbohydrate, 0 grams of dietary fiber, 1 gram of sugars and 7 grams of protein, per two ounce serving.
Taste / Flavor
Crab meat is not an item that I eat on a regular basis. I was invited to eat a crab meat salad sandwich at a friend’s house and I thoroughly enjoyed eating every bite of it.
My friend added only a little bit of mayonnaise, salt, pepper and lemon juice to the Chicken of the Sea White Crab Meat, to form the salad. The flavor of the crab meat was fresh and not over – powering and I would undoubtedly eat this crab meat again.
Being a cook, I think that the flavor and texture of this product would lend itself well to saute’ dishes, casseroles and sauces.
On a flavor scale of one through ten, I would assign this product a rating of 8.75.
Packaging
Chicken of the Sea White Crab Meat is packaged in a metal can that is similar to a tuna can. The aesthetically pleasing, dark blue front label features an illustration of an attractive mermaid and the rear label lists all relevant ingredient and nutritional information.
Overall Rating
All things considered, Chicken of the Sea White Crab Meat is a tasty and convenient item that is reasonably – priced. This product allows consumers the opportunity to eat crab meat, without paying the high prices normally charged for fresh crab meat. This item is recommended.
