I remember this as a child, and not wanting to eat it - I guess I just didn't trust casseroles back then! But the flavor is really wonderful. My Aunt Marjorie and Uncle Luther used crabs from their salt-water creek that they caught themselves near Chesapeake, VA. I normally buy prepared crab in the refrigerated meat section, or canned if that's not available. You can use Surimi (artificial crab meat) for this casserole, too. But I usually stick with real crab meat because Surimi is often filled with starch.
