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.
