What location does the crabmeat come from re TSV Crab Cakes?

This may have already been answered but I can't locateCat Sad the information. Does anyone know what geographical area (State, body of water,etc) the crabmeat is sourced? I couldn't find it in the TSV description...

If I don't know where my food is coming from, I won't buy it.

WOW. That must mean "China" or somewhere else out of the country.  I would think if it were the United States (coastel areas) that would be the focal point of the sale. Thanks for the replies...

 

I just found this from an article in 2007. I understand that this may not apply to what is on QVC:

 

Sliwowski buys mainly Venezuelan jumbo lump crabmeat. He says he eschews Maryland crabmeat, usually considered the best, because the lumps are smaller.

If it came from a "good" place they'd be touting it to the skies. If they don't mention the source, you can bet it comes from you-know-where. I've read that almost 100% of the crabmeat sold now comes from Asia.

To make enough for the TSV, I would submit that the crabmeat is probably coming from a variety of sources in order to have enough to make that high a quantity.
