About
Lump crab meat consists of delicate seafood chunks that loosely fill a measuring cup with about 5 ounces (142 grams).
With a bulk density of about 37 pounds per cubic foot (0.6 grams per milliliter), lump crab meat leaves small air pockets between its broken chunks when spooned into a container. A standard US cup (237 milliliters) holds approximately 5.0 ounces (142 grams) of meat. This makes it noticeably lighter by volume than water or solid fish fillets, which weigh over 8 ounces (227 grams) for the same volume.
From Wikipedia
