G&M Crab Cakes are made with a minimum amount of filler and handling to keep the jumbo crab lumps intact. Keep in mind that the crab meat is cooked before the meat is picked from the shell. The final cooking/preparation is intended to get the internal temperature hot (between 140F and 160F). Remember to remove the products from their shipping containers before cooking.
