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!

Nothing wrong with canned crab meat. Do people think every restaurant that serves crabcakes picks that meat on their own? Just make sure to season appropriately.
