Canned Crabmeat (16 oz.)

Our two brands of crabmeat are categorized by species of crab (Red Chinese & Blue Indonesian), time on the fishing boat, and whether the product was cooked onboard the fishing vessel or on land.
Indonesian Blue Crabs are a distinctive category that stands alone as Day Boat Brand.  Day boats are small fishing vessels that port at the end of every fishing day, therefore delivering ultra-fresh crabs to market that are cooked live and have a superior taste comparable to Chesapeake Bay Crabs from Maryland. Please read more about Day Boat Brand Crabmeat by clicking on its box to the right.
Chinese Red Crabs are harvested by larger fleets that typically venture out to sea for three to five days.  This category is labeled Great Blue Brand.  Some vessels cook their catch on board while at sea, which locks in taste. Great Blue Brand offers both conventionally cooked cans and cooked at sea cans, both 16 oz.  Please click on the boxes to the right for more details.
