    I agree with all of the above suggestions, and if you haven't found something wonderful to do with it by now, here is another suggestion: please send it to me:)

      What about a crab louis salad? It's a classic for a reason. My mouth waters at the very thought.

        Cioppino? I'm thinking about making that for dinner myself.

            Saint Jacques? Bisque? Spring rolls? Po boys? Sui Mai? As a stuffing for ravioli?

              Crab pasta salad with a good glass of wine and a crunchy loaf of bread
              Or how about this:

                I second the crab bisque, with a nice little pile of crab in the middle floating on a butter crouton.

                Crab salad? It's one of my favorites.
