Instructions

1. Add ice to a mixing bowl until it is half full. Nest a colander in the center of the ice. Pour cold milk into the bowl until it is 3 inches deep in the colander.

2. Open the canned crab meat, if it has not yet reached expiration. Dump the contents of the can into the colander. Add more cold milk, if necessary to cover the meat completely.

3. Allow the meat to soak in the iced milk for an hour. Lift the colander from the mixing bowl and move it to the sink. Rinse the crab meat in the colander under cold running water for 30 seconds.

4. Move the drained crab meat to a clean bowl. Add 1 tbsp. of freshly squeezed citrus juice. Gently move the crab meat in the citrus juices with a fork to coat the chunks evenly.

5. Smell the canned crab meat to see if the seafood smell is still detectable. Continue to add citrus juice 1 tbsp. at a time until the odor is reduced to your satisfaction. Stir in 1 tsp. of finely chopped leafy herbs to further reduce the fishy aroma.
