18 Best Frozen Crab Cakes Costco (2023 Updated)

Really I didn’t think this could possibly be bad. I love old bay spice and I love crab cakes so what could go wrong?. Well I was right but I had no idea just how right. My whole family loved the crab crack dinner!! My sone even said that mine were better than the restaurant.

Needless to say now when the family wants crab cakes we will be staying in for dinner, witch is totally fine with me because with a family of five a dinner out of crab cakes can put a big dent in the budget.

Thank you old bay for always being the best.

I keep this product on hand at all times. It’s great and simple to throw together crab cakes and throw them in the broiler. It doesn’t contain much filler and has just the right amount of flavor for our family.

It’s really hard for me to find this in stores, so when I find it, WATCH OUT. I’m buying the entire stock. All you need with it is a little bit of mayo and a 1 lb can of lump crab meat. My favorite product by far.

If I could score it higher than an A, I would.

I was a little skeptical at first about this, thought it wouldn’t taste like the crab cakes that my Mom used to make. We don’t put any green peppers or onions in ours because it ruins the flavor of the crab.

But now I don’t make them without this fabulous little packet. Only problem is trying to find it in Florida.

I am 67 years old and stopped buying canned crab because I was always disappointed in the product and ammonia smell. So glad after all these years I have finally found a good canned crab! Buy it, you won’t be disappointed!!!!.

Have to honestly say this was absolutely the BEST King Crab I’ve had. I have been ordering from AKC for some time now-and decided for this order I would go with the pre-cut super colossal King Crab legs.

Why? I wanted to see for myself if they were as good as advertised. I’ve ordered the Super Colossal King Crab legs, Jonah Crab Claws, lobster tails and even the various types of salmon offered on AKC.

They were all really good but with the exception of the salmon required a lot of work to get to the meat. I baked the pre-cut Colossal Crab Legs per AKC instructions and only changed the spices I used – sprinkled only OLD BAY SPICE on to the legs and in to the water, baked/steamed in industrial restaurant 6” deep metal stainless steel tray and fitted lid – used about 1 1/2” of water in bottom of tray and rested the legs on a perforated tray – defrosted legs in fridge over nite – baked 4 lbs.

of pre-cut king crab legs at 450 (not recommended 350) for 15 minutes – they did NOT dry out – the water in bottom of tray kept the meat very moist and tender!!!! See the two attached pics – this is what they looked like when they were served up for dinner this evening.

Best part was getting to the moist succulent meat with almost no effort at all – have to say once again I loved every bite – as did my family! No waisted meat – easy to clean up and am looking forward to the next time.

Now, I will only go with pre-cut Super Colossal Crab legs – AKC has taken all the hard effort out of eating King Crab by offering pre-cut king crab legs – pricey – yes; BUT WORTH EVERY DOLLAR SPENT AND THEN SOME!!!!! Oh My God! they were good!.

I ordered “Colossal Red King Crab Legs” for Valentines Day dinner, what I received was a huge disappointment. The description on this product says the size should be “3/4 lb to 1 lb per leg, Colossal”, upon opening my box I was extremely shocked at the size I received.

The legs were small in comparison to others I have had in the past, in addition I had THREE claw ends (I am not talking to whole arm plus claw I am talking just the pincher part) PLUS they included a piece of body in my order.

That all said I ended up weighing my order because I wasn’t very happy. Of the 4 legs I got they weighed on average a 1/2 lb. (anywhere from 8. 25 oz to 9oz) – Keep in mind this was frozen weight, i.

e. water weight is also included in that, so these really weighed less. I received a total of 3. 63 lbs of legs and claws, they threw in a body part to make up the 4lbs in weight! Upon contacting customer service (with pictures), they told me each 4lbs order should contain 4-6 legs – well I got 4 legs alright weighing in at 2 lbs!!! They said, “This is a very good looking order of our colossals”, if this is how you bait and switch people sure it might be but I ordered “Colossal King crab LEGS” not body parts, I understand that a claw or two may be thrown in or a piece of a leg to make up the weight but this is pathetic.

NOBODY in their right mind would go to a fish market and pay $66/lb for the scraps I got, they would want ACTUAL legs, the product I make a purchase for. Needless to say Customer Service was worthless and only tried to offer me coupons off a future order which will never happen.

The legs were also very salty, I don’t know who is cooking these but they need to lay off the salt. Save your money and go elsewhere.

I’ve tried them before and loved the experience of eating succulent, juicy Alaskan King Crabs. This Christmas, instead of gifting things that I’m not sure the receivers will fully appreciate, I gifted them the experience of Alaskan King Crab legs.

I sent them packages to my sister and my mother. They both received it well packaged, fresh and still frozen. They cooked them for their Christmas meals and kept raving about them. They love seafood and all different kinds of crab but these Alaskan King Crabs are at a different level! We received a lot of thanks for the unexpected treat we sent them.

Deliciousness, flavorful, perfection!!!.

We ordered 4 packages of them and overnight delivery. When they came on the hottest day of summer I was Impressed to see they had been packed in dry Ice That was still effective. Unfortunately they arrived the day after a power failure , that is now in it seventh day, and I had to throw out the other three packages, because of no refrigeration available.

The four I had I did on my outdoor grill with a little butter on top, as recommended. And served with a salad and some mango chutney , which made a GREAT meal. – Mike killeen.

We sent these to my Mother for her birthday. She loves crabcakes. Her take is that they were bland. I suggested she add s&p and lemon. I will let you know how that goes. At this time she would not order them again.

She loved the salmon.

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I liked how it came with 5 total clusters of crab legs. It is a good portion to split between 2 people as part of a course. However, what I disliked was the 5th leg cluster missing 3 legs and there were 4 single leg pieces; I’m assuming they were part of the same leg cluster that may have broken off during transport or handling.

I wish the back part of the product packaging bag was clear so that I could see all of the snowcrab legs but you can only see the legs through a small clear part of the bag. Regarding the weight: I used a food scale at home to weigh the accuracy of the product stated weight of 2 lbs.

I was pleasantly surprised that the actual weight was 2 lbs and 3 ounces. The taste was perfect for me. It was salty & briny! Im from Louisiana so I do prefer strongly seasoned food. If it is too salty, simply squeeze lemon juice over the legs.

I ate mine with a clarified butter, lemon & thyme dipping sauce. Any other sushi lovers? This product was perfect for making the “snowcrab mix” found in sushi rolls you get at the restaurants, except they use imitation crab.

I know because our family business was a sushi restaurant. Craving real sushi snowcrab mix, I used these snowcrab legs to make it and it was delicious!! The way it should be. To make the sushi snowcrab mix, I minced the snowcrab meat using a food processor and added mayonnaise.

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. We decided to try these snow crab legs cold to have on a salad and as a sandwich. We let them thaw in the fridge for 24 hours like it suggested.

I really was excited to see that the bag did not leak while thawing. Once we started the tedious process of harvesting the meat we could tell that all of the snow crab legs were of very good quality.

We did use kitchen shears to make the process a bit easier. The thing I was most impressed with was the flavor of the meat and how tender it was. It was very apparent that they seasoned the water they pre cooked these snow crab legs in very well.

This is usually an area of concern when you buy pre cooked and then frozen seafood. I would definitely purchase again when we are looking to have snow crab legs at home.

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. My husband grew up in Virginia Beach so he has enjoyed crab legs for most of his life. I bought the 2lb Member’s Mark Snow Crab legs from Sam’s Club for $25 (normally $45).

This was a great price. They’re already cooked so it didn’t take very long for my husband to grill them. They had a good sweet flavor and weren’t very salty. There were a few loose legs, but the clusters were a good size.

While we didn’t weigh the package, it seemed like there was a little more than 2lbs in the bag. My husband and boys really enjoyed the crab legs. However, my husband said it would have been better if the packaging had multiple ways of preparing them hot.

Let me tell you, you will not miss eating dead fish. These taste like the crab flesh that you are used to. My husband is not vegan but I am trying with him. I made these I didn’t say what they were, he ate them all didn’t even save me any.

He came back in the kitchen and said you only made 4 crab cakes. where the rest! Basically he didn’t realize they were not dead fish until I told him and he started going to the store and buying these himself.

I am not saying these are the healthiest as it is processed!.

My wife is vegan and I’m an omnivore pretty much, but I try lots of stuff she makes. Some great some terrible. These are fantastic and can be used in many easy recipes as well. Gardein is one of the best meat alternative companies I’ve come across, maybe the best.

Don’t prejudge and don’t be afraid to make an actual meal with them though good on their own. Sadly I have to catch their products on sale to afford them, thus the low value grade. Assumed it meant price.

Also that’s not my real email address. It’s an old old extra I don’t know how to access and won’t.

I absolutely love these crabless cakes! They taste very similar to the real stuff but more flavourful and delicious. I love making the Tik Tok Sushi bowls with them or just have them as a quick appy! I just throw mine in the air fryer and they come out perfectly crispy on the outside yet soft on the inside every single time.

Yum Yum!.

Excellent. The crab legs were the best I’ve ever had and living in coastal Fla. For 20 yrs. , I’ve eaten thousands. They were huge in size and easily cracked. Even the meat in the body was sweet and fresh tasting( usually not the case, if the legs are not perfectly fresh the body meat will taste fishy) I have ordered from other companies and have not been as satisfied as I have with Ocean Side.

They are my go to company for all of my seafood cravings. They get a 100 star rating from me!!!.

I was genuinely disappointed in my mail order. The crab legs were all broken up. Nothing like the product I got from the truck, which was perfect. I’ll stick to purchasing whole legs from the truck from now on.

This was my first time buying any kind of frozen food online and it was a success! The crab was WAY better than anything we can buy in landlocked Colorado. We will purchase again from these fine folks.

Thank you for a successful Father’s Day dinner!.

I love eating crabs during summertime, but the crab picking process can be long and messy! If you are planning a Å•ecipe that includes crabmeat, this is the way to go!! Perfect for crab cakes, crab pastas, nachos, soups or fries, or just eating it plain! My favorite however, is the Crab Dip I make! Such a great Appetizer, perfect for parties and other social gatherings! Great company, Quality Product! Pictured- My Crab Dip served with toasted French Bread!!!.

Just about everyone we dine with loves crab imperial. And at each other homes, it has always been a frequent primary entre and always appreciated. I had not had my turn in a while and I made it with this Phillips jumbo crab and it was to die for.

Terribly unhealthy, but what a way to go. I tweaked the recipe with little of this and that including extra cheese but the sheer appearance of those huge lumps of crab seemed to strike many dinner guests with awe.

There were many, many compliments on the entre and in particular the crab (guess my tweaking didn’t make a stir. darn. ) But the jumbo pieces of Phillips lump crab was positively noticed for the beauty and for the deletable taste.

Delicious in baked bell peppers stuffed with crab meat, and topped with either homemade croutons or Italian bread crumbs. However, the crab is good on its own just right out of the jar. Nice, sweet, taste.

I was actually expecting it to taste bland or rancid, but it was the next best thing to fresh crab.

Um if you’re from Maryland and you don’t incorporate old bay in your daily meals what are you doing with your life?? This is the perfect spice to add a little extra to your meal. Chicken, crabs of course, shrimp, even soups and popcorn.

The crab meat was full and packed in there pretty well. I didn’t find any shell or cartilage in there at all. I was able to make my husband his favorite crab cakes! It was so meaty and fresh which was perfect.

Plus, it wasn’t smelly or stringy!.

I’ve used 2 of the 5 lbs I purchased now. Admittedly, this was an impulse buy while shopping online for King Crab. Overall, it’s good crab. Has a nice, natural flavor. Has some chunks (meat) to it and as I would have expected very limited shell in the crab.

You’re always going to get a bit of shell. Nature of the crustacean. 😉 Product was packed well and arrived within days of ordering, as expected. Overall pleased with the product from a taste and quality standpoint.

Cons: It’s packed in tray with water. I thawed and snipped the corner of the bag to drain off excess water, tip: keep water for a seafood stock. You actually end up with 13 – 13. 1 ounces actual crab meat & tray, my actual weights.

Note, that is not squeezing out the meat as you would do for crab cakes, that’s just allowing gravity to do its thing. Another issue is the PRICE. After purchasing I noted that locally frozen lump crab is half the price.

I get that there is shipping involved but paying double for each pound purchased?!? Ouch. That killed any repeat business from me. :(.

I used this lump crab to make some great crab cakes. The meat was in large chunks and really didn’t need to be pickled over for shells, very clean. There was very little liquid as well, all meat no waste!.

THIS PRODUCT WAS EXCELLENT. ME AND MY FAMILY TRULY ENJOYED IT. I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO OTHER’S.

I love crab cakes in restaurants, and I wanted to find one for home that was real crab and tasted good. I bought this one, just based on reading ingredients, it has real crab at number 1, and not a lot of other ingredients, some I read had a whole paragraph of them, most sounding lab made.

We like to cook in a pan with oil from thawed, and use lemon butter as a sauce! A little pricey for 2 cakes, but as always, you do get what you pay for. (A lot of the time, not always for sure).

We enjoyed the crab cakes very much! The size is average. I bought them on sale for $8 @ Target (usually $9). With the first ingredient being crab I decided to try them. We baked them in the oven. They crisped up nicely and held together well! I will definitely purchase them again.

I’m a born and raised MD baby who (unfortunately) resides in Houston now and when I came across these in Target I could have cried. They aren’t an actual Phillips crab cake and they’re not what you would actually find back home BUT, they are amazingly comparable.

I’ve notice “crab cakes” here are disgusting so, these are as close as I can get to the home of crab cakes, MD.

These were so delicious I should have bought more than one box. These are a hidden gem. I got them on sale at a different place …. But I just wanted to write this review. They’re average sized crab cakes so don’t expect anything super big.

Crab cakes are not usually huge anyway. Perfect with a vegetable. Try it!!!!.

Bought it because of the name. I’ve eaten at Phillips in Maryland and their crab cakes are amazing. I set my expectations low because they were frozen. Popped them in the air fryer and baby!!!!!! Taste is identical!.

These are not the standard Allen Brothers product we have received in the past. The package held 6 crab cakes in plastic- which was not the 2 vacuum sealed Allen Brothers packaging that keeps the crab fresh as normal.

It is doubtful that I’ll purchase these again, unless they are back to the standard. It was incredibly disappointing, given the great products we have purchased in the past.

These make a wonderful gift (I was delighted!) and are packaged in pairs. I cook them with a bit of olive oil in a pan. I’ve even put a cooked crab cake into a low carb tortilla for an amazing quesadilla! The crab flavor is delicious without being overpowering.

They are also very easy to prepare with virtually any heated surface.

Love the flavor of these Crab Cakes. Having them packaged 2 per package is also perfect. I was impressed with the cate taken in packaging & keeping product frozen in transit. We live in a rural area hence have a lot of our food products shipped to us.

This company seems to understand the concept of getting their quality product to the customer in perfect condition.
