Notes

If you decide to use cherry tomatoes, this recipe will be enough for 12-16 tomatoes.

Serve also this crab salad in in individual containers or the crab shells, topped with the mayonnaise mixture.

This is a seasonal recipe when using fresh live crab but it is fit for all seasons because it is best when using canned crab meat.
