Tinned fish isn't a problem. It will be perfctly safe to eat.

Thank you Monica for the link, I don't know why I did not think about Googling it. Thank you also to everyone else for responding, I see I am not the only one who worry needlessly about tinned fish. Thank you so much. I shall look forward to having ig. 🤞

I wouldn't eat it, crab like any seafood is likely to make you very ill if past it's best by date.

As it’s in a tin I think it would be fine

Seafood is always tricky

Tins last indefinitely unless damaged

Nope. Seafood is chancy

My friend knows I love crab so brought me a tine of crab this week when she visited. I noticed when she had gone that the date says BBE: July 2025. Would you eat it. I know I can open it and smell it and that will give me an idea, but what do you think?
