Yummy! The flavor of the fresh crab really stands out! These were a little delicate to prepare, since they seemed to want to fall apart before they got cooked, but I did manage to keep them whole. These were served with Recipe #322382 as suggested and they paired wonderfully. Thanks for sharing. Everyone enjoyed! ~Sue

The best ever. This was my first attempt at crab, I'm so pleased. Next time I'll try the remoulade sauce also. Tagged in newest.
