Crab meat Lump refers to a specific grade of crab meat that comes from the larger, whole chunks of white meat taken from the body of the crab, specifically the swimmer fin muscles (often called the "lump" section). 

Appearance: Firm, large pieces, white in color.

Texture: Meaty and slightly sweet.

Common uses: Premium crab cakes, salads, pasta dishes, or recipes where you want big, visible chunks of crab rather than shredded pieces.

Quality: It’s considered high quality, though not quite as large or expensive as jumbo lump (which comes from the biggest muscles).

Crab meat Jumbo refers to the second highest grade of crab meat that is a mixture of the two Largest muscles and the white meat of swimmer fin muscles (Lump) taken from the body of the crab (often called the "Jumbo" section). 

Appearance: Large chunks, include a mix of whole pieces and broken lump meat; color is mostly white with possible smaller fragments.

Weigh:  1-2 grams/crab meat piece

Texture: Firm but slightly varied, some bites meaty, some softer due to mixed pieces.

Common uses: Premium crab cakes, salads, pasta, stir-fry dishes where large pieces are nice but perfection isn’t critical.

Quality: Medium-high quality, depends on how much is true jumbo lump vs smaller pieces.
