Steps:

• In a large pot combine butter, onions, bell pepper, celery and Old Bay cook until veggies are soft.
• Next, add in your soups, milk, crabmeat.
• Simmer until heated through, stirring constantly.
• Add cooked potatoes, Worcestershire sauce and salt and pepper.
• Continue to keep it warm on low heat stirring occasionally.
• We like to add a little hot sauce to ours as well.

Steps:

• In a heavy bottom cooking pot, melt butter on medium heat.
• Add flour and stir gently until blended; DO NOT LET THE MIXTURE DARKEN.
• Add milk gradually stirring continously until it starts to simmer.
• Add half and half, stir gently until well blended.
• Add corn and green onions, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until corn is just tender, stirring occasionally.
• Add crabmeat, pepper, salt and soy sauce and simmer until very hot and small bubles start to form around the edge of the pot; stir frequently; BUT DO NOT BOIL.
• Adjust seasonings to taste.
• Garnish with sprinkles of chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
• If using fresh corn, use 4 large cobs.
• Cut kernels off cobs, scrape cobs for any milk and add to soup.
• Canned crabmeat or imitation crabmeat may be used instead of fresh crabmeat.
• Use 7 1/2 ounces of canned crabmeat (drained) and 8 ounces of imitation crabmeat cut into smaller pieces.

Steps:

• Combine cornmeal, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl or plate.
• Whisk egg whites in a small bowl until just frothy. Dip crabs into egg whites to coat. Dredge them in the seasoned cornmeal, shake off excess, and set aside.
• Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; arrange 4 crabs on their bellies in the pan. Cook until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer crabs to a plate and add 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil to pan. Return crabs to pan, on their backs, and cook until crisp, about 5 minutes more. Remove crabs from skillet and keep warm on a baking sheet in a 300 degrees oven. Repeat with the remaining olive oil and crabs.
• Divide arugula among four plates. Arrange 2 crabs over each plate of arugula, spoon confit over or around crabs, and serve.
