The best part of this recipe is that people in our area have access to fresh, local blue crabs.
Oh, and although this recipe calls for mayonnaise, Executive Chef Jeremey Rogers says if someone is more of a Miracle Whip person, go for it!
The most important part of the recipe is to mix all of the ingredients together, except for the bread crumbs and crab meat.
