Siam Canadian's
Pasteurized Crab - The Freshest, highest possible
quality
The Pasteurized
crab ranks high on the list of seafood delicacies.
Live blue crabs are seasonal and much more plentiful
during the warm weather months of the year.
Blue crabs are caught and marketed in both the
hard-shelled and soft-shelled stages. During
the summer months, hard-shelled crabs may be
purchased live or cooked in the shell. Pasteurized
cooked crab meat is usually available in three
grades:
Lump Meat - whole
lumps from the large body muscles
Flake or Special Meat - small pieces of white
meat from the body
Claw Meat - brownish tinged from the claws
The season for
soft shelled crab production extends from May
through November. They can also be purchased
pre-cleaned, individually wrapped and frozen.
Properly frozen soft crabs or Pasteurized crab can remain for at
least 6 months without harming the texture and flavour. The entire soft shell crab can be fried
or grilled.

Fresh crabmeat
is very delicate. Make sure crabs are alive when
you cook them. Pasteurized crab meat is to be
stored in the coldest part of the refrigerator,
below 35 degrees Fahrenheit. Pasteurized crab
meat is kept in hermetically sealed containers
and sent for heat treatment. This gives it an
extended refrigerated shelf life. The seal of a
Pasteurized crab should not be broken and it
should be stored at 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Thus
a Pasteurized crab can remain safe up to six
months.
Pasteurized crab
meat is a very versatile seafood and can be
used in cocktails, appetizers, salads and soups.
We at Siam Canadian
do not compromise on the quality of meat. The
meat is always shell free.
If refrigerated
properly the pasteurized products can also last
as long as 18 months. The price varies according
to the size of the pieces. The most expensive
variety is the Jumbo lump backfin. Claw meat
has a dark color and shredded texture and is
the least expensive.
At Siam Canadian,
pasteurized crab meat is put into hermetically
sealed containers and heated at a temperature
which destroys all kills micro organisms to extend
shelf life. Pasteurization gives a longer shelf
life at refrigerated temperatures than non pasteurized
products because it removes all kinds of bacteria.
The quality of
pasteurized crab is firmer and whiter. The pasteurized
crab meat can stay in the refrigerator if kept
in its original unopened container. If it is
opened, it has to be eaten within 5 days.
