The Worst Canned Crab Meat Brand Is Also One Of The Cheapest - Tasting Table

"Top notes include an off-putting fishiness, followed by an unpleasant aftertaste. As our taste-tester noted, "There was a distinct aroma of fish when I opened the can, and the flavor was similar - the meat tastes more like fish than sweet crab." Although, Geisha's canned crab meat wasn't lacking anything in the sweetness department, either. According to our reviewer, "The third ingredient is sugar, and you can tell."

"Texture-wise, the product might have performed even worse. Instead of toothy chunks of meat, buyers will find ultra-fine shreds of meat-adjacent-looking crab. We aren't alone in this criticism, either. Amazon customer reviews mention a mushy, watery texture and overall low quality. One buyer simply describes it as "not very 'crablike.'" Another detractor said, "This product is not very good. Actually it's very bad"

Geisha canned crab meat displays a pronounced fishy aroma and an unpleasant aftertaste rather than a sweet, crab-like flavor. The product includes added sugar high on the ingredient list, contributing an artificial sweetness. Chemical additives such as calcium disodium EDTA and sodium metabisulphite appear on the label. The texture consists of ultra-fine, mushy shreds rather than firm, toothy crab chunks. Customer feedback reports watery consistency and poor likeness to real crab. Overall presentation, taste, texture, and ingredient composition point to a low-quality canned crab product despite a low price.
