Dorset Crab on Toast

This is on a par with a good crab sandwich. If possible, buy a live crab and cook and prepare it yourself (using the shells for a soup), or get your fishmonger to do it for you. I’m always a bit suspicious of pre-packed crab meat unless you have a very trustworthy source. The brown crab meat can be a little wet once prepared; if so, drain off the watery juices and mix in some fresh white or brown breadcrumbs to thicken it up a bit.
