Procedures:
1If the crab is whole, pull the body apart and pick out all the meat - discarding only the mouthpiece and the grey "dead man"s fingers" that fringe the inside carapace.
2For extra flavour, make a stock with crab shell, flavoured with a piece of carrot and a quarter of onion, and boil down to a couple of well-flavoured tablespoons which can replace the equivalent milk in the basic white sauce given above.
3prepare the white sauce; melt the butter in a small pan.
4Stir in the flour and fry gently until the mixture is still pale but sandy.
5Whisk in the milk slowly, beating till you have a thick sauce.
6Simmer for 5 minutes.
7Preheat the oven to 400°F (200 c) gas mark Stir the crabmeat and prepared laverbread into the sauce.
8Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
9Separate the eggs.
10Beat the whites until quite stiff
