How much do you have left over?  If it's not a lot,  why not cocktail sauce for an appetizer.  If it is a lot cocktail sauce again and just make a whole meal out of it.

Make an easy crab louis salad.  You can either use your favorite thousand island dressing or make  a "louis" dressing by mixing one cup of  mayonnaise, 1/2 cup of ketchup, 1/4 cup each of sweet pickle relish and chopped black olives and one chopped hard boiled egg.

Then on a bed of iceberg lettuce (or field greens), place your leftover crab in the middle and garnish with whatever you have such as sliced tomatoes, avocado, olives, sliced boiled eggs, canned asparagus spears, etc.  Then just drizzle with your thousand island or louis dressing and enjoy.
