Jumbo lump crab

From a recipe:

½ pound jumbo lump crab, picked through for shells

--- Is it meat from some specific part of the crab? And what does "pick through for shells" mean here?

  

Top answer

They want large pieces, so I guess it means no leg meat, anyway, but no, not from any particular part. You have to pick through the crabmeat, pass it all through your fingers and look closely at it, and remove any bits of shell.
