If you love seafood but don't always have time to prepare your favorite dishes, canned crab meat is a quick and easy solution to creating rich and flavorful dishes on the fly.

Stock up on Geisha canned crab to use as a base for seafood favorites like crabcakes, hot crab dip and seafood stuffed mushrooms. You can also mix canned crab with a dollop of mayonnaise and a splash of lemon juice and serve it on grilled, buttered bread for lunch or dinner. This side is even more delicious when paired with a garden salad or cup of soup.

And if you're looking for a tasty summertime dish for your next backyard barbecue, we suggest combining canned lump crab meat from Bumble Bee with mayo, finely chopped celery, dill and pre-cooked elbow macaroni for a crowd-pleasing crab macaroni salad.

You don't always need fresh seafood on hand to make delicious meals — but you can take home fresh seafood items and canned crab meat next time you shop Balducci's in-store or online.
