Re: Claw Crab Meat... WTF?
[ QUOTE ]
It would have to be the other way around.
Turn the scrap meat into things like crab cakes.
Keep the best meat from the claws for eating straight from the claw.

I'm talking about MD blue crabs(as op referenced by pic.) Claw meat is *mostly* used for crab soup unless it's being picked and eaten. What you say in your post may apply to King crabs, but it's completely wrong for MD blue crabs. I grew up in MD so I have a pretty decent idea about how we eat crabs. OK? Once again, for the record, jumbo lump or backfin are used to make crabcakes. Claws are sweet and flaky and you usually collect them to eat after you're done picking crabs.
