Chilled crab cocktail, a light spa-style appetizer, has a fresh, sweetly winning personality.

I believe there's a legendary crab cocktail at a restaurant near the wharf.

Think of me over crab cocktails.

Our crab cocktail starter was a fraction underseasoned and my friend's portion had a piece of shell still present.

You're very smart to be working with Roy/ she said as their crab cocktails were brought.

It appears in many guises, from a simple crab cocktail to crab cakes, salads, soups and chowders.

The only disappointing appetizer was the crab cocktail, with shredded seafood rather than the hoped-for lump crab meat.

Creamy crab cocktail was fine, but the smoked fish pie it's only meat pies we've given up for Lent wasn't so much smoked as immolated.

When I asked the price of the crab cocktail (no price was listed on the menu) he replied: "$12?

The crab cocktail (whatever the price) was a generous mound of sweet lump crab meat.
