Crabmeat is naturally high in sodium - with a 4 ounce serving having in the neighborhood of 350 mg of sodium - so add any salt sparingly. I like to use the pasteurized crabmeat as it's widely available, consistent in quality and stores well enough that you can hold it on ice for a few days if the container is sealed. Sometimes the processors will add some preservatives to the crab and that can also add salt. Check the package for the amount of sodium.
