These boats are wonderful with tortilla chips, beans or rice. You can also cover them, pack them on ice, and take them to a picnic or potluck. Straight from the oven or cold, they're always delicious. -Frances Benthin, Scio, Oregon

These avocado crab boats were a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with less butter.

I'm not a big fan of avocado, but I loved these crab boats. The avocado was creamy and mild, and it paired perfectly with the sweet crab meat.

These avocado crab boats were delicious! The avocado was creamy and ripe, the crab was sweet and tender, and the lemon-herb butter was flavorful and tangy. I loved the presentation too - they looked so elegant on the plate.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe at first, but I'm so glad I tried it. The avocado and crab go together perfectly and the lemon-herb butter is the perfect finishing touch. I'll definitely be making this again.
