Personal Suggestion: There are two types of crab-meat. The first type is real crab flesh, while the second is known as imitation crab-meat, often referred to as crab stick, imitation crab is available at many supermarkets. The real is more expensive than the imitation variety. For this recipe i prefer to use the real crab-meat because it gives a better texture to the dish.
