How people cook with it
These crab flakes are ideal for adding a touch of seafood richness to a wide range of recipes.
- Crab cakes
- Seafood pasta
- Salad toppings
- Dips and spreads
To use Oceankist Crab Flakes, simply drain them if they are packed in liquid. They can be gently folded into batters for crab cakes or mixed into creamy sauces for pasta dishes. For salads, they add a delightful seafood element that pairs well with vinaigrettes or creamy dressings. They can also be incorporated into cheese-based dips or spreads, offering a sophisticated flavor profile. When cooking, avoid overcooking to preserve their delicate texture and flavor. They are best added towards the end of the cooking process.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike lump crab meat, which consists of larger pieces, crab flakes are smaller and more broken down. This makes them easier to mix into recipes where a uniform texture is desired, such as in crab cakes or dips. The smaller size also means they distribute more evenly throughout a dish, ensuring crab flavor in every bite.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused Oceankist Crab Flakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best to consume them within a few days to ensure optimal freshness and taste. Proper storage helps maintain the quality of the crab meat and prevents it from drying out or absorbing other odors from the refrigerator.
