About Crab paste

Crab paste is a prepared, paste-textured crab food or ingredient. The name does not establish whether it consists chiefly of crab, how finely it is processed, or whether salt, oil, seasonings, or other ingredients are included. It can be encountered as a spread, condiment, or ingredient in prepared foods.

The paste may range from smooth to coarse and its colour and seafood flavour vary with crab content and processing. The catalogue gives no recipe or preservation details, so these should not be assumed. Nutrition comparisons require the actual formulation and processing, and should not use values for plain crab meat as a substitute.
