Crab meat question
Posted on 12/27/12 at 3:48 pm

I have a lb of lump crab meat to add to my seafood gumbo.
Can I just add it at the end and warm it, or do I need to bring it back to a boil to cook. Stupid question in some folks view, but unsure.

Add it at the end and warm so it doesn't make the rest of the gumbo too cold.

Gris has the right idea.
Sometimes I'll even spoon some white lump over individual bowls as I serve. Nice appearance and I hate to just throw the expensive stuff into the pot.

First you need to dump it on a chopping block and take out any shell. Just use your hands and feel for any shell. I would say about ninety percent of the time their is some shell in the meat. The worst thing is to eat gumbo and bite into shell.

That and flavor is why I use claws as opposed to jumbo lump. I don't use the white meat at all. Too many shells. Rarely use backfin. Claw meat off the claw has less shells than white in my experience, but it shreds when cooked in a soup for any amount of time. I use it in stuffings. Claw or jumbo lump for me.

I prefer claw also, as you said, more flavor, fewer shells and cheaper. I have a source that brings me lump white that is almost shell-less in return for a favor I do for her.
Even free I hate to throw the $24 lb meat in the pot.

I can't remember when I last used jumbo lump in gumbo. I don't really care for it in gumbo, honestly.
