Hello there, Does anybody here know where to buy picked over crab meat in sydney at a reasonable
price? Also does it freeze well? I have a hankering for crab cakes but don't want to fiddle around
(no pun - sorry) with whole crab, or buy a heap of the stuff.
t.i.a.Richard.

Whereabouts in Sydney are you? It's not something I've ever gone looking for - don't recall seeing
it at the seafood place in Penrith Plaza, just whole crabs. However, I wasn't looking for it so who
knows. Are you anywhere near Sydney Fish Markets? One of the retailers there might stock it -
although don't know what the price would be.

No canned available?

Crab meat (and whole/parts) *is* available frozen, so should be freezable, if done quickly. It
suffers in flavor, but so does nearly everything that's frozen. Except popsicles. :-)

What sort of crab is native there?

I'm in Bondi. It's not something I recall seeing at the fish markets before,
or anywhere here for that matter, but yes, that would be the best place to
begin a search. I'm surprised it's not more readily available, as it
apparently is in the States. I'll check out the canned crab situation at
Coles today.
tks,
Richard.

You should be able to find canned crab without much trouble, though I think I've only seen
smallish cans.
