Making homemade Crab Chowder
A crab chowder recipe may be made with either real or artificial crab meat. Artificial crab is actually a cheap white fish but substitutes well in recipes. Chowders are cream based soups and crab chowder is good with potatoes, corn, and other seafood like fish, mussels, or shrimp mixed in. When I was a kid my mother often made a boil with artificial crab meat, shrimp, potatoes, corn on the cob, sausage, and Old Bay seasoning in a broth that was delicious. I would imagine that it would translate well into a chowder but would not want to make a whole pot of it to eat by myself! Cream soups can be a bit too heavy to eat everyday for a week.
