I have a 6 oz can of crab meat from Trader Joe’s (says it’s 15% leg meat).
What would you make with it?
Get a little plate. Spread cream cheese on it. Cocktail sause over that. Sprinkle with crab. Scoop up with your favorite crunchy thing for a nice snack.
Hey, it’s not fancy…it’s just what I’d do.
That actually sounds really good.
What would I make? I’d make some ER tech wealthy stitching up my hand after digging out the meat with my fingers in three seconds.
I’ll not be making that, but hey, burpo…um…thanks. 
Mix it with mayo. Make grilled crab and cheese on sourdough sandwiches.
Get a couple more cans. Mix in an egg, mayo, bread crumbs, Old Bay/other seasonings. Chill for half an hour. Make crab cakes.
Cook some pasta. Add butter and milk and heat until hot. Remove from heat and stir in freshly-grated parmesan cheese and stir to make a sauce. Add the drained crab meat.
Stuff mushrooms with it, and sauté.
Crab omelets.
Mrs. L.A. made crab and cheddar omelettes a couple of weeks ago, to use up the crab meat that didn’t go into the fettuccine alfredo.
That was the PG version, earlier.
I’m originally from The Free State and believe Maryland Crab Cakes are over-rated; the meat is great but the amount of spice(s) used* is I-don’t-have-a-good-adjective. Just plain meat, a little egg and bread to bind it during frying and on the plate he goes. Some of Sicks Ate’s concoction on the side would be super.
*Including during the steaming process,
Here’s my Carrot Crab Bisque:
Roast some carrots and fennel lightly. Puree. Add some fish stock, if you can get it; chicken or veg will work for backup. A splosh of white wine, a few scrapes of fresh ginger. Simmer a bit. Add some heavy cream, and a little arrowroot or cornstarch if it looks like it needs binding. Ladle over crab in a soup bowl. Garnish with fennel slices crisped in hot oil in which you’ve dipped a hot pepper for a few seconds, if you want to get fancy.
Sicks Ate concoction also works great with leftover salad shrimp.
I’d make warm artichoke,spinach and crab dip with a nice crusty baguette sliced up and a bottle of Riesling or Casasole to wash it down…and a green salad with balsamic vinaigrette as a token nod to health.
It would be a toss-up:
Crab cakes
Crab rangoon
Johnny L.A.'s suggestion of a crab, mayo and cheese grilled sandwich on sourdough has real merit. Imagonnatrythat!
Hot crab dip. Crab, cream cheese, mayo, bottled artichoke hearts, and a little jalapeno. Mix in oven-safe bowl, top with shredded cheese, broil. Eat with Juanita’s chips.
Mix the crab with some cocktail shrimp and then spoon the mixture into those little sundae-dish thingies. Cover with sauces made with ketchup, Tabasco, lemon juice, and horseradish, or mayonnaise, lime juice, and curry powder.
Before I became allergic to crab, I would use canned crab to make crab quiche. Man, I miss being able to eat shellfish. 
-
Crab Salad: grind up a tiny slice of onion, add one teaspoon of mayo, serve on letuce (or possibly rolled in wraps?).
-
Crab Stuffed Mushrooms: large mushrooms, core them (keep the stems; chop them up & fry them in butter & serve on the side).
Fill with small scoops of chopped crab meat mixed with some kind of pepper/heat. Bake on a tray at 350 for 15 min. -
Crab Garlic Bread: Cut 1.5 in holes in the center of pieces of garlic bread. Fill the hole with crab meat.
Brown on each side in a skillet flipping only once.
Serve with pasta and red sauce.
perfect pairing: Merlot. (yup… red wine with fish.
) -
Crab Meatballs? (experimental) mix with some egg, some breading and some chopped onion, mold them like you would meat balls,
Pan fry them brown? If they hold together (hopefully), then serve with pasta & red sauce as above. -
Crab Meat Tacos. Chop it up, fry it up, spoon into taco shells with sliced lettuce, diced tomatoes and the topping of your choice! (lol)
Not fair! Read the title & just started writing this down. Three quarters of this is already mentioned.
Crab Enchiladas!!!
Crab Benedict.
Or if that’s too much work, just mix it up in a pan with some scrambled eggs.
I’m going to have to buy more crab.
I would go crab cakes myself. A Maryland crab cake is one of my favorite eats in the world.
Crab hash, crab omelet, or eggs Chesapeake. Can’t make anything without Old Bay, though.
