SAUTéED BACK FIN CRAB MEAT



Sautéed Back Fin Crab Meat image

You can serve this alone, in little crab shells, or use it to fill crepes. I have used either canned or fresh crab meat for this, and also other types of crab, like jumbo lump or snow crab. It will also work with imitation crab, although I don't use that for health reasons.

This is a recipe that is a favorite of many of us coastal Delaware natives. Our newly elected Vice -President, Joe Biden, has more than likely been served this when he came to political dinners. There are many varied crab imperial recipes, but this is one we enjoy. I hope you will try it and tell me what you think.
