After my mother and sister described the hot crab sandwiches they had eaten at a San Francisco restaurant, I developed this recipe. It's become a family favorite, especially during vacations to the Oregon coast, where we can catch fresh crabs.

I would love to make this recipe, but 4 cans of crabmeat around here would cost $20.00! ($5 a can).
