Quoted message said:I've found some crab meat at Costco that's pretty good. It's already
picked, and decently so. It's got a good flavour and I like eating it
just with some melted butter and heated, but I was wondering what
other people might make with it.I've tried crab cakes, too, but I don't think I had a good recipe.
So, like always, looking for ones that y'all have tried and enjoyed.
