We in NorCal are hampered by fishing regulations that limit harvest times for Dungeness crab, the ONLY crab worth the trouble/cost. 😛 Perhaps my favorite treatment id Lee Bailey's "Baked Crabmeat" which is essentially crabmeat bound with a very small amount of mayo, formed into cakes and baked on a sheet pan. I follow his instruction but also dust with panko and pan fry.
When you use dungeness, you don't need/want a lot of gratuitous ingredients. 😏
eta, crab comes in a shell, not a can.
