New Product Crab Cakes with Lemon Wedges

The scoop

If you’ve been looking for an easy way to impress at dinner without spending hours in the kitchen, Costco’s Crab Cakes with Lemon Wedges might just be your new best friend.

These are pre-formed crab cakes sold by the pound in the fresh seafood section, and they come with lemon wedges included right in the package. They’re ready to cook straight from the container, whether you want to pan-fry, bake, or air-fry them. The crab cakes have a nice golden coating and appear to have a decent amount of visible crab meat throughout.

Here’s the real talk: at this price point per pound, these aren’t cheap ($27-$29 per container total), but they’re still considerably less than what you’d pay at a restaurant for similar quality. The convenience factor is huge since they’re already portioned and seasoned. Just keep in mind that since these are sold by weight, your total cost will vary depending on how many crab cakes are in your package.

Bottom Line: These crab cakes offer restaurant-quality convenience at a fraction of the dining-out cost. They’re perfect for those nights when you want something special without the stress, though the per-pound pricing means you’ll want to check the package weight before committing.
