I haven't looked for frozen product recently.

I've gotten lazy and have started spending $25/lb for local,
fresh, never frozen, cooked/picked dungeness crabmeat, direct
from a fisherman. That sounds steep but 4 ounces is an extremely
generous crab cocktail. I often eat about 2 ounces.

A cocktail sauce of Non-HFCS ketchup mixed with Fred's Horseradish
(the best), and some Meyer lemon is all I need. For a crab
sandwich, a tiny ratio of mayonnaise, and lemon.
