I used imitation crab meat. I grated most of the meat through the largest size greater holes and thinly sliced some into flat squares to resemble real crab meat. I used a quarter of a teaspoon of dried tarragon leaves to substitute for fresh. I used decent amount of 1/4 tsp of salt because the crab meat is sweet. Let me tell you this recipe is amazing and makes a large quantity!
