crabmeat
Picked from shells
Crabmeat is the edible flesh of a crab, typically sold cooked and picked from the shell.
It ranges from premium lump meat to cheaper shredded varieties: crabmeat salad, crab cakes made with fresh crabmeat.
Imitation crabmeat is processed fish flavored to approximate the real thing.
