Crab meat is also good mixed into Chinese fried rice or scrambled eggs. I once ate a meat loaf that contained a can of crab, minced celery, and Old Bay seasoning -- it was delicious!The lady wouldn't give me the complete recipe, maybe you can find one on a recipe site.

Thank you for this response! I've saved your recipe and ideas, and will try it very soon. Who else has some?

Thank you so very much!

If you Google cooks.com, and enter canned crab as your search term, you will find 100 plus recipes. The site numbers them, and the following numbers are nondairy but good. I usually use the frozen fake crab, but canned works too. I have made all of these, and they are good.

Chop up some herbs (ones such as fennel and dill go well with seafood) and mix with mayonnaise for a tasty sandwich spread!

If it was me, I'd try crab cakes. I'd try doing things my own way, like my salmon cake recipe first, then I'd look at other crab cake recipes and put one together.

I make a salmon loaf, I'm sure you could make up a crab loaf. My salmon loaf has crushed soda crackers, eggs, broth from can, salmon, I also put in onions, but with crab, I think I would put in tiny minced celery instead.
