Crab Salad
Recently some friends were discussing a recipe for crab salad and it was mentioned that using fresh genuine crab rather than imitation was important for best taste. That prompted me to head to my files where I came up with this photo of our good pal Mr. A enjoying a nice crab salad prepared his own special way. He not only likes it fresh, he also prefers it a bit on the crunchy side.
Although this particular recipe is officially endorsed by our alligator friend, I understand it may not be ideal for everyone. So please feel free to adjust the ingredients to prepare your own variation of this dish as necessary!

Great story 😉
He just came to show you is own way to prepare it.
Very nice picture btw.
Have a nice afternoon Phil
Thank you Sophie, glad you like the photo and story.
He has his own secret recipe that I don’t he will ever tell what it is. 😉
😉
That Mr. A had quite the crab salad. I think Mr. A would make quite a fantastic host on a raw cooking show…Very cool photo, Phil!
He should have his own show, hell I’d tune in! He is also a ton of fun at parties especially when he brings some gourmet treat! Of course he will eat most of it himself but whadaya gonna do?!?
I mean, no one is going to tell Mr. A to back off the gourmet treats he brings. Well, maybe Ted would. From above the refrigerator.
Oh Ted would for sure. I can just see him glaring down at Mr. A from atop the refrigerator.
Fantastic photo Phil.
Thanks very much Jan.
Just a great photo and post.
I’m glad you enjoyed them, thank you!
Very cool Phil.
Thanks much for looking Edith!
Gentile il Signor A, vi ha procurato la materia prima, il granchio 🙂
Splendido scatto Phil, Ciao, Pat
Grazie Pat!
What’s imitation crab? Do you mean those sticky things? Vile. Poor crab, being a cancerian I feel those jaws clamping around me much as I love Mr A and his A pals.
I don’t know if it’s sticky but they sell it everywhere, all the stores have it.
You wouldn’t like hearing the crunch I don’t think. 😯
Wow, that is quite a fresh “salad”. Love this photo! He’s got to be happy, eating that, and enjoying the crunch. Probably both flosses and cleans his teeth. 😉
Mr. Alligator loves a nice crunch!
Fabulous, Phil! Better than the time he ate a flip-flop (or was it a Croc?)
Thanks, and we had both!

Thanks for the links, Phil. I remember the sequence with the pink flip-flop, sharing your concern about the well being of the creatures who eat the trash and litter left behind. People are sometimes so careless, unnecessarily endangering wildlife.
Thanks for checking those out. 🙂
My pleasure. Kee[ ’em coming!
I think I prefer mine shelled! What a picture – wow! Hope all well with you, Phil.
Thank you Maggie and I don’t care for the shells either. 🙂
How nice of him to show off his snack for your lens.
Oh he is very accomodating.
For a well balanced diet: Proteins, fiber, locally grown
! Mr A is a gourmet indeed ! Great pic, Phil
Oh yes a true gourmet indeed!
thanks Alain!
Looks like ideal gator food though I hope he doesn’t chomp off one of those juicy crab legs. Amazing amount of pink you captured there! That’s how you tell a good gated shot right?
Occasionally he will lose a leg or two but that’s what happens when all your teeth are on the sides of your mouth.
Pretty funny! Perfect details.
Poor crabby though, not a good day for him. 😯
Ha! This reminds me of when we were kids…well some of us…and we would turn to the person next to us and open wide with a chewed up bunch of food in our mouth.
Seems a good recipe to me…Mr. A needs his roughage.
Mr. A advocates a well balanced diet.
Thanks Steve!
Fresh crab salad, Lucky Mr. A!!
That boy sure knows how to eat!
Great shot, Phil! So nice to visit with Mr. Alligator again!
Thanks and I can’t wait for the weather to heat up again and Mr. Alligator is out creating mayhem!
Nice shot Phil!! Glad to see that Mr. A is eating properly
Nice shot Phil!! happy to know that Mr. A is eating properly. Take care!
I laughed at this Phil. It looks a bit undercooked for me. Crab sashimi.
He is a big advocate for eating raw foods for sure!
That is a great capture. Mr. A needed some greens to go along with all his fish and crabs he has been eating.
Mr. A generally enjoys a well balanced diet!
Thanks Jeff!
That’s funny 🙂 Perfect caption…
It was a tough day for poor crabby though. 😯
Thanks!
Very clever!! Well done!
Thanks, glad you liked this one.
Fantastic picture!!! Didnt know they had alligators in South Carolina either!!!! and thats a great picture and closeup!!!/
Thank you Linda, glad you liked this photo! And oh yes, we have lots of alligators. Ours are friendly ones though. 😀
What a fantastic shot/angle!! Just love him.
Thanks for checking out this pic and glad you liked it!
Crab salad. May have to put that on tonight’s dinner menu. 🙂
It does sound good doesn’t it?!? 🙂
blimey what to say even the water dripping off his teeth – cracker
Thanks for checking this out Scott and I’m happy you liked the alligator photo!
Haha you don’t get much fresher than that, Phil!
No it sure doesn’t and that’s just how he likes it!
Well, I think I’ll pass on eating crunchy crab with weed salad, but Mr. A looks as though he positively relishes the idea. 🙂
I’m with you on this one Sylvia, but as you say if he likes it, who am I to tell him different?!? 😀
You’ve made me laugh, Phil. I have a lot of catching up to do on several blogs….. Sorry I have missed this before.
Glad you got a laugh out of this Paula! No worries about what you may have missed on my posts. I have not been able to get at hardly anyone’s blogs lately and hope folks understand.
Any news on your health!
I had the RFL nerve burning procedure today. I’ll let you know how that went once the anesthesia wears off. Heh heh
😦 Wish you a pain-free nighy
