Crab Salad My Way

JustJanS's Note:

I looked for crab salad recipes, but a lot had celery and a lot had way too much mayo for our likes. Feel free to use more mayo-I just wanted our crab moistened rather than “gloopy”. We cooked our own mud crab for this, but I think it would work with tinned or imitation (something I have never tasted). I haven't allowed for the catching, cooking, chilling or picking of the crab in prep times.
