🦀🧀 TAKE & BAKE SQUARE CRAB MEAT PIZZA
⭐ New & Noteworthy: A Creamy Seafood Treat Perfect for Sharing
Costco's deli section introduces a sophisticated, new flavor: the Square Crab Meat Pizza! This pizza moves away from the traditional tomato base, featuring a rich, savory white sauce with Snow Crab (Zuwaigani) as the star.
The creamy white sauce base is enhanced by the flavor of crab and clam, creating a deep, satisfying seafood umami. Topped with a generous layer of cheese and fresh broccoli, this is a truly gourmet take-and-bake meal. Plus, the new square shape makes it much easier to store and bake in smaller Japanese ovens!
🌟 Why This Seafood Pizza is a Must-Buy
1. Gourmet, Creamy Flavor Profile
This pizza offers a flavor similar to a high-end crab gratin or seafood chowder. The combination of sweet crab meat and the creamy white sauce is a welcome change from standard red-sauce pizzas. It's rich, luxurious, and perfect for a date night or a weekend indulgence.
2. Size and Convenience Solved
The new square design is a game-changer for expat living:
Storage: Fits neatly into standard Japanese refrigerators and freezers.
Baking: Much easier to center and bake evenly in smaller home ovens.
3. The Texture Contrast
When baked, the fluffy crust, creamy sauce, tender crab meat, and crispy bits of broccoli create a fantastic contrast of textures and flavors.
💡 Pro Hacks & Leftover Ideas
The Best Way to Bake
Oven Temperature: Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) for approximately 15 minutes. Watch for the cheese to be bubbly and the crust golden brown.
Flavor Boost: Before serving, squeeze a small amount of fresh lemon juice over the pizza. The acidity cuts through the richness of the white sauce and brightens the seafood flavor.
Leftover Transformations
Seafood Dip/Spread: If you have leftover cold slices, scrape the topping (sauce and cheese/crab) off the crust. Gently warm the mixture and mix it with cream cheese or sour cream to create a rich seafood dip for chips or crackers.
Quick Doria/Gratin: Cube the leftover pizza (crust and all) and place the pieces in a bowl. Cover with a simple white sauce or extra cheese, and bake until bubbly. This creates a quick, comforting Japanese-style Doria/Gratin.
