This looks really good...

Real Crab meat is absolutely excellent if it is readily available. Here in MD, Blue Crab is all over the place, so if you can't find it in the store, you can go catch it when the season is in. I'll bet this'd be pretty good with that on there. Also, check into Old Bay.

maryland blue crab is the best

[Punchabearinnamouf]

It truly is wonderful. I need to get out crabbing soon!

[JediMasterJET]

That DOES look like a good sandwich, but i have one suggestion. "Phillips seafood crab meat" not only is it real crab meat, its chesapeake blue crab or better known at the best tasting crab in the world. they do sell it at many grocery stores.

wow, this looks like the second best sandwich. second to peanut butter jelly sandwich. nothing can top it, sorry.

I just made this sandwich (except in place of pesto, I experimented with dried basil and garlic salt pureed in rosemary-infused olive oil). The 'wich was delightfully different; I will definitely have more, but I felt like the crab meat flavor could be accented a little more... we'll have to take a tour of the kitchen.

I love bagels w/ cream cheese and bacon....mmmm.....

"Imitation" crabmeat........................whats' wrong with the R-E-A-L thing??

[bumsugger]

But there is more "crab" in a jam sandwich, than there is in that stuff.I mean do you really know just what it consists of ,or more importantly how its' obtained??

[Temperance]

Nothing....just that imitation crabmeat is more widely available than real crabmeat and probably cheaper too.

[Ruettiger]

that bread toasted...man you gotta toast wheat bread looks good!

[reller52]

This was intriguing looking enough for me to actually try, but I thought it was just so so. Just seemed like it was missing something. nice try.

I used to eat imitation crabmeat sandwiches for lunch at school growing up sometimes. In those cases, mom would prepare the crabmeat the same way you would tuna (mayonnaise and celery). I was a big fan of those. Perhaps the missing ingredient is a little mayo in the crabmeat (this is coming from someone who normally hates mayo- I only like it in tiny amounts and only on/in tuna or crabmeat sandwiches)?

Making good sandwiches is an Art.

Your slice of bread looks partially toasted in step 1? And the finished thing looks like it has a little too much filling, but yeah nice bite. L

[davidmerrill]

aah, you're right! I forgot a step - thanks, I'll fix that.

[brianf25]

That sandwich looks both delicious and totally nasty at the same time.

[NnieTheBeadDemon]

I make something like that too minus the pesto with whole fresh basil leaves in it's place. Oh and I use left over roasted chicken too,

[davidmerrill]

that sounds great too..

[oinkoinkzoopals]

i never had imitation crab meat duz it taste like crab meat and can you use real crab meat

[davidmerrill]

It doesn't taste exactly like crab meat, but I think it tastes good. You can use crab meat, but it's more expensive for the same quantity, and harder to find.

[lawizeg]

can you use chicken? i like chiken but ive never had crab, i dont eat shellfish or crustaceans anymore.

[davidmerrill]

imitation crabmeat isn't either - it's fish, so you can eat it.

[lawizeg]

it looks good tho. im makin one with chicken.

[davidmerrill]

sure, this sandwich would be great with chicken also. especially rotisserie chicken, that you can buy cooked.

[lawizeg]

o! yea, ill try that. un fortunately, ill have to do it the next tim e my mom goes to shoprite, so i can get an avocado. and pesto

[lawizeg]

check out my grilled cheese sandwich here

[snipegoat]

yah real crab meat tastes a little different if not more fishy, but immitation is sweeter (better in my opinion) and cheaper

[bumpus]

woah imitation crabmeat... thats my new myspace name hahaha
