Am I correct in assuming you mix the bread crumbs and butter and sprinkle on top? Recipe doesn't say.

Hi there! Thanks for bringing this to our attention. The breadcrumb mixture has been added into step 2. Thanks again!

The crabmeat can also be purchased canned, it tastes almost as good as fresh. And, imitation would work also, just not as much crabmeat flavot.
