Treat your ingredients with care...

• Crab meat — Ensure that the crab meat is fresh and free from any shells. Gently fold the ingredients together to avoid breaking up the crab meat too much.

Tips & Tricks

• If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use canned crab meat as a substitute.
• For an extra kick of flavor, drizzle some melted butter over the crab meat topping.
• Serve with a side of coleslaw for a refreshing contrast to the rich flavors of the Crabby Dog.
• Experiment with different types of hot dog buns, such as pretzel buns or brioche buns, to add a unique twist to the dish.
• If you prefer a spicier version, add a dash of hot sauce to the crab meat mixture.

Serving advice
