if you are wondering what to do with a load of crab meat try this:
sand crab spring rolls.
mix meat from half a dozen crabs with some salt, pepper, 1/2 onion, chopped shallots, bit of sweet corn, few peas, mustard, chilli, mayo, 2 eggs and thicken mixture with some bread crumbs/cracker crumbs. put in spring roll wrappers and freeze - anytime your deepfrying chuck a few in (if you can stop at a few). i do the same with prawn toast - make up a stack and freeze em - bloody good feed and a good way to preserve your crabs and prawns.
cheers
