Why It's Good:
Delicious canned crab that tastes like you took a day off to catch your own blue crabs, steamed 'em, and hand-picked the meat. Except you didn't.
Why It's Green:
No worries here about tainted seafood. In the business for 35 years, Sea Fare Foods—the company behind Miller's Select—has a family-owned and operated fishery and cannery in Thailand. The Thai crab population has not been overfished and only adult crustaceans make up the catch—sustainable practices that ensure there will be harvests to come. Finally, they do not use bleaches, whiteners, or flavor enhancers.
Savor This Safe, Scrumptious Seafood
My family is the crabbiest one I know. Now I'm not referring to our dispositions—although we can be snappish—but to our enduring love for fresh crab meat. From the time I could chew, I've been eating steamed crab on a monthly, sometimes weekly, basis. My parents would bring them home from local Chinese markets, steam them, then we'd convene at the table to extract every scrap of sweet meat with our fingers. It was slow and drippy labor, but oh, it was worth it. Since then, I've tried frozen and canned crab, but no go. Everything tasted fake, flavorless, or salty. Until this summer, when I had a forkful of Miller's Select, plain on a cracker. The first mouthful brought me back to my family's kitchen table. The second made me want to throw a party with the crab-on-crackers as my only appetizer. Promise: They will make your guests' and your taste buds very happy.—Daryl Chen
