I've made it twice now, Once with blue crab and once with dungeoness crab...both were really good, but the blue crab one was spectacular. I add more green pepper to mine cause I like the flavor. I took some of the one batch and rolled in a cod fillet, sprinkled with a little old bay, tossed on a baking sheet sprayed with non-stick spray and baked...and that was excellent and about 30 grams of protein.
