I am sure some of you have seen and or eaten these before, I have been making them for 20yrs. I catered my brother’s wedding and he personally requested these, he was on a very small budget and there was no way I could make them for the huge wedding he had. So I had made just enough with real crab meat for the wedding party and I snuck in tuna for the rest of the guest. I did add some old bay for the tuna batches. as I opened the kitchen door there was a crowd waiting I did not get two steps into the hall before the platter was empty

5Tips: you see here it says to make your own season salt, there are many variations of season salt personally I skipped this step altogether as most call for garlic powder so it just depends on what mood I am in if I want some onion powder or salt I just toss in a bit so on and so forth most of the time all I add is the garlic powder feel free as always to tailor it to your liking I will post some salt recipes I have found. This season blend can also but used on chicken, fish, pork ect.
