FAKE CRAB SALAD SANDWICHES
This recipe uses those fake crabmeat "sealegs" you find in the grocery store. I can hear the purists out there groaning already. Fake crab is actually made with real fish, but seasoned to taste like crab. My daughter has a particular fondness for sealegs, and this is one of my favorite ways of preparing it for her. I don't think fake crab tastes much like real crab at all and highly recommend you do give real crab a try sometime. But for those times when you don't have any real crab, why not give this a try? It doesn't matter if you use "flake style" or "chunks" or "legs" in this recipe.

Yield Makes 16 triangular three-layer tea sandwiches
Number Of Ingredients 11
Steps:
- 1. In a medium-sized bowl combine the crab, mayonnaise, Old Bay seasoning, mustard, scallions, and celery. Mix gently until ingredients are evenly distributed and well coated with mayonnaise.
- 2. Place four slices of bread on a clean surface and spread a half tablespoon of butter on each slice. Spread each slice with one sixth of the crab salad and top with thin layers of onion, egg, and baby lettuce.
- 3. Butter both sides of four more slices of bread and top each half sandwich with one of these slices. Spread each sandwich with a third of the remaining deviled crab and the remaining onion, egg, and lettuce.
- 4. Close the sandwiches with the four remaining bread slices, spread on oneside with the rest of the butter. Press firmly, butter side down, to "seal" the sandwich.
- 5. Slice off crusts then slice each sandwich into four triangular finger sandwiches and place on a platter.
- 6. Cover sandwiches with damp paper towel and plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes. (Crab salad may be made up to one day ahead and the assembled sandwiches up to several hours ahead.)
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh crab meat. If using frozen crab meat, thaw it completely before using.
- Be gentle when mixing the crab salad. Over-mixing can break up the crab meat and make the salad mushy.
- If you don't have mayonnaise on hand, you can substitute plain Greek yogurt or sour cream.
- Add some chopped celery or red onion for a bit of crunch.
- Serve the crab salad sandwiches on your favorite bread. Toasted bread is a great option.
