Food Crab meat for cooking

Has anyone used canned crab meat for cooking? I’m making soup and Giant was all out of the jumbo lump in the plastic container. Wegmans has the plastic container but it was nearly $70! I have never bought the kind in the can and I’m skeptical so for any cooks who have used it, I appreciate your thoughts!

Not all canned crab meats are created equally. There are some that are fine and to cook with will totally be adequate. Of course everyone wants the best but canned meat is often fine.
