    I bought a can of refrigerated crab meat at Belcris yesterday. Any suggestions how to prepare it for a dinner? Only had it at a restaurant before in the U.S.

    Wife says it should be ready to eat but I would read the instructions on the tin.

    I never heard of canned food that needs to be refrigerated before the can is opened

    Crab meat in a can is more expensive than Spam......just saying
    As a special treat my Mother would on occasions by a fresh cooked crab for my Dad's evening meal, he would sit there cracking open it's claws with nut crackers.
    A frozen dressed crab doesn't come cheap but takes the mess out of preparing.
    Tinned crab meat is an alternative my wife uses these days.

    My mum use to give us tinned salmon on Sundays (the pink stuff) tasted good but in those we ate what was on our plate or we went hungry.
    I had and still have a good appetite, just had 5 large tiger prawns.

    Tinned pink salmon, I recall that. Red was always a bit better but smoked, fresh grilled or steamed the best IMO.

    Looking forward to king prawns and grilled tilapia, so much fresh seafood especially fishes. Although I did read or here that some of the tilapia was a bit dodgy to eat if it was fed on chicken waste?

    The first time I had fresh Tuna was in the Philippines, prior to that I thought Tuna came out of a tin!
    Whether it was the way they cooked it, but it had the texture of a pork steak!
    My experience on that trip was in the fish market, Large Tiger Prawns were expensive either that or they saw a long nose and put the price up, my wife just walked away and said from now on dont stand too near to me.
    Happy days make happy memories....
