Peppers Zesty Blue Crab Salsa - Enjoy the bounty of the Chesapeake Bay! The sweet flavor of the Blue Crab combined with fresh ripe vegetables and zesty horseradish makes for an exquisite salsa.
Use it as a dip or to enhance seafood dishes, omelets, salads & grilled meats.This National Champion Salsa was seen on “Roker on the Road” on the Food Network in 2004.
Crab salsa? Seriously? Seriously. As a salsa lover at heart, I’m always willing to give a new salsa a whirl - but when I first came across Peppers Blue Crab Salsa, I wondered if it was going to be any good. But after heading down to Peppers last October, I witnessed first hand just how popular the Crab salsa was - it’s one of the stores best sellers and just about everyone that walked into the store tried it and bought a jar.
There’s no skimping on the crab in this salsa - you can see it mixed in the salsa along with all of the other spices and seasonings. And it’s real blue crab, not that fake Krab stuff.
Ingredients: Diced tomatoes, Crab Meat, Roasted Chiles, Horseradish, Chili Peppers, Diced Green Bell Peppers, Lime Juice, Worcestershire Sauce, Jalapeno Peppers, A Special Blend of Herbs & Spices, Salt.
I decided to give the salsa a try by pouring it over a dish of nachos. When you first open the jar, you get a strong whiff of crab - followed by a scent that reminds me of cocktail sauce. So over the nachos the salsa went and I proceeded to dig in. Talk about a strong flavor - which is to be expected considering the powerful crab smell. The flavor of the crab overpowers the other flavors of the salsa, with the exception of the heat - after a few bites, a small tingle of heat starts on the back of the tongue.
I don’t think I’d use this salsa on nachos again, but I would be happy to serve this on it’s own as a stand alone salsa or as a killer cocktail sauce. I struggle with the strong crab flavor, but I can definitely see the potential and the wide variety of uses that it can have. Crab salsa - yep, don’t knock it until you try it and make sure you keep your mind open to the possibilities and potential uses. Peppers Zesty Blue Crab Salsa is definitely a step out of the normal salsa that we’re all used to, but I’m sure the change will be welcome to your taste buds. Give it a whirl and expand it’s uses!

Nick, where can I get a bottle of this.
Sounds good over Veal Oscar, minus the Bernaise Sause,add Blue Crab Salsa over the White Aspargus, Over The Blue Crab and Veal.
Click on the Peppers highlighted in red after the review, that would be a good start.
They might have someone that carries it in your area, you could check with them and see.
I HATE crab, but I really like this salsa. I’ve tried all three (?) versions of this the mild, hotter and the chipotle one. For some reason it masked the fishiness of the crab.
Good stuff, Luther and the crew did well on this line.
I have tried this as well! Makes an incredible seafood sauce!
Works well in moderation for nachos.
Hay Guys, just cause its Salsa, you have to think beyond nachos. Be a little inovated, like over a Hamburger or Hot Dog lol.
Nick, how do you think this would be on crab?

Or Mac N’ Cheese?
KRAFT Mac N Cheese with Blue Crab Salsa. Now thats a Friday night meal.
I’m thinking it’d be pretty tasty with a crab cake(see how creative I am?) or other seafood, but I can’t even imagine what it tastes like. Guess I’d have to try it for myself.
