The crab is wonderful with summer vegetables. An easy, but delicious light
meal for warm days.
Note: Many chain, club, and specialty stores sell crab meat refrigerated in 1-pound cans for about $10.00. While it is not the same as freshly cooked and cracked crab, it is good. Especially for a salad or dish in which it is mixed with many other ingredients. The price of $10.00 for one pound of crab meat with no shells, etc. is considered quite a reasonable price.
