Crab balls for people that do not like crabFebruary 20, 2008By ThomasLClarke
"The onion in this recipe completely destroys the flavor of the crab. Would recommend to either omit the onion or make something else. Not only is crab meat very expensive, but also it has a very delicate flavor. Ingredients should enhance that delicate flavor and not cover it up. Replace the onion with finely minced celery and a few minced celery leaves. Also reduce mustard to 2 teaspoons and add 1 teaspoon of Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce. Then let me know what you think of the crab flavor"
