> Hey Walter - a bit late perhaps, but here is what I'd likely try: Remove
crab meat from shell/legs/claws etc, place into a bowl. Add to this fresh
ground white pepper (black will do too) to taste (I'd use quite a lot). Add
chopped chile to taste (whatever you feel like - try to
choose something with a nice fresh flavour - we have some short cone shaped
green (ripen to orangey-red if dried slowly) ones at the Asian grocers here
that I'd likely try). Add 'some' good butter - I'd do this by 'rack o't
theye' as they say around here (I'm useless with measures). Now, chopped
chives go in too, as do chopped fresh parsley and a few sprinkles fresh
lemon or lime juice.

Mix roughly, return to half shell, sprinkle with a _little_ finely grated
hard cheese if you so desire, and place under a hot grill until it's looks
done to your tastes.
Reckon that'd be lovely for tea!>
Hi there Shaun. Great to hear from a fellow Brit! Sounds a great way of
presenting Crab. I shall give that one a try and no mistake. Had a beauty
last night and removed all the meat, let it get to grips with a good splash
of wine vinegar whilst I chopped a few luscious red Thai Hots. I mixed them
into the Crab and boy oh boy, did it go down great with some fresh baked
bread and best butter. We are getting there Shaun. Many thanks to you and
all the other CH's that have contrubuted to our Crabby table treats. Any
more out there? Hottest regards. Walt. CH #2218. An old Chile-Head from the
