Karen (California) says:

This recipe had great elements but needed some obvious adjustments. I didn't quite brown the onion. I squirted fresh lemon juice over the top of the filling before mixing. For the sauce I added a few blobs of butter (about 2-3 tbsp.), and about a teaspoon of chicken bouillon. I doubled the sauce recipe, and was glad I did! I used 8 oz. of surimi crab (fake crab) and a 4 oz. can of canned crab meat. It turned out great!!
