I said that some of these recipes would be ones you had seen before, and honestly a list like this can’t go without having crab cakes among them. Lump crab meat, Worcestershire sauce and mustard sets off a great taste.

A slightly different take on an old Cajun recipe. Worcestershire sauce and sweet pickles bring out the taste of the meat in a great crab po’ boy, which is basically a sub roll with a crab cake.

Backfin crab meat which is ground up and seasoned, then put back into the shell and deep fried gives this dish a truly original look, feel and taste.

Who doesn’t love crab? Who doesn’t love a good crepe? Don’t worry, this is not from grandma’s bridge luncheon. Put the two tastes together and you have one heck of a great crab recipe. The crepe filling combines crab meat, Worcestershire, hot pepper and Havarti cheese gives this meal some real zing.

Crab dip has long been one of the favorite crab recipes but this is a different spin on the old favorites. This particular recipe has (surprise) Worcestershire as well as lump crab meat, as well as chopped pimiento and the bread bowl gives it an interesting twist when the dip is gone.

Quiche in general has long been a favorite breakfast and brunch dish that consists mostly of egg and cheese. With crab taking center stage as the meat in the dish you get a different take on an old favorite.

This is a great appetizer that can be turned into a main meal if you can find big enough mushroom caps. Monterey Jack cheese along with backfin crab and as well as chopped green pepper, basil and parsley make this one of the best crab recipes out there.
