Notes: When Herman and I were first married in 1981 we went to see Aunt Mary. She was living in Hobart at the time and Herman's sister Lisa went with us. The first night we were at their house Aunt Mary served us this crab salad. She had froze it and was worried it would not be as good as fresh. I can assure you it was excellent. I asked for the recipe and have been making it ever since. Also on our trip Uncle Earl took us fishing and I think that was the first time I had caught so many fish. This is one of my fondest memories of visiting with the Mays.
