What it is

The product is typically found in the refrigerated section of grocery stores, ready to be incorporated into various dishes.

To use Louis Kemp Ultimate Crab Delights, simply open the package and drain any excess liquid. You can then chop, flake, or dice them according to your recipe's needs. They are pre-cooked, so no further cooking is required for many applications. For dishes that involve baking or simmering, they can be added towards the end of the cooking process to maintain their texture. They blend well with mayonnaise, celery, and seasonings for classic seafood salads.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike real crab meat, which can be flaky and delicate, surimi-based products like these crab delights have a more uniform, slightly springy texture. Their flavor is also engineered to be similar to crab, but may not possess the same subtle sweetness or brininess found in natural crab.
