Top Tip for making Salmon and crab tartare

Woman's Weekly cookery editor Sue McMahon says: It may seem like a lot of work to prepare crab, but more supermarkets are now selling pots of crabmeat ready picked - just take care, because it may still contain some shell. If buying a whole crab, it's easier to buy one ready-cooked, and ask the fishmonger to remove the dead man's fingers, which are the gills and the poisonous part of the crab.
