I just checked my Old Bay can and the ingredients are all fine for induction.

The thing you need to be careful of - is your crab meat real crab (0-1 g carbs per 100 g of crab, depending on type - blue, dungeness, etc., all fine for induction) or imitation (15g carbs per 100g for imitation Alaskan king crab - not OK for induction). Fake crab meat contains more than ground fish (usually surimi). To create a paste that holds its shape, food manufacturers also add starch from wheat, tapioca or corn, sugars and poor-quality vegetable oils. BEWARE! For that reason I don't eat them when out unless the source can be verified and I see the actual crabs.

Scallops are also often faked in a similar manner or simply cut with round cookie cutters from a piece of whitefish, which is OK on induction, but it is not easy to tell them apart. Fake scallops are sometimes served in recycled clam shells to fool customers into thinking they are getting real scallops. I once sent them back saying, what are they doing in Mercenaria shells instead in their original Pectin shells? The red-faced manager comped my replacement meal - steak.
