pattricia Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Is it just me shopping in the wrong supermarkets but I've never seen tinned crab on the shelves now. Tinned salmon, sardines, mackerel and tuna but no crab. ! This used to be my favourite. Maybe it is too expensive now. I've seen fresh crabs but no tins !

pattricia Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 Asda Chapeltown has three different varities. Wow thank you. I wonder if the Asda in Sheffield has it ? I shall have a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deak Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Hi Pattricia, Jack Fulton & Heron's on Waingate, both had it ('White' meat, but can't be certain!) on the shelf when I called in the other week. I would imagine they will stock it in their other stores around Sheffield, if town is too far for you to travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdamarine Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 There's quite a few places that sell crab meat frozen and tinned on Ebay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/frozen-hand-picked-brown-crab-meat-/331775462411?hash=item4d3f5bcc0b:g:oewAAOSwL7VWioIv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hauxwell Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Wow thank you. I wonder if the Asda in Sheffield has it ? I shall have a look. I was in the Poundland shop in Newcastle and they had tinned crab and pink salmon on theirs shelves, however I do not know what the quality is like.

Jeddo Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Hi Tesco stocks tinned tinned crab, smoked oysters, tinned salmon, and even oak smoked skippers (my favourite). If you've never tried them, you need to. Knocks sardines and pilchards into a cocked hat. They sell out quickly though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIRETHORN1 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I see tinned crab on sale in most supermarkets I go to - it's usually on the tinned fish shelf, near the tinned tuna, salmon, sardines, etc. I don't like it much though - it just tastes like bland, soggy bits of pink-and-white tissue paper, floating in faintly fishy-tasting salty water. Fresh crab is best, but it's a right faff to prepare it. My local fishmonger sells pre-prepared fresh crab - either white meat or brown meat - and some supermarkets sell fozen white or brown crab meat in their frozen fish freezers (usually Waitrose or the Sainsbury's in posher areas). The fresh and frozen crab meat is about ten times more expensive than the tinned stuff...but far superior, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at all the replies, the answer to why you don't see tinned crab anymore is because you don't look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
