Steps:
- Pick over the crab meat. Remove and discard any pieces of shell or cartilage.
- Cut the fish into cubes and add them to the container of a food processor or electric blender. Add the cayenne, egg, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Start blending while gradually adding the cream. Blend until smooth.
- Add one cup of the crab meat and continue blending until the mixture is smooth.
- Spoon and scrape the mixture into a mixing bowl. Add the remaining crab meat and carefully fold it into the mousse mixture.
- Butter a six-cup ring mold. Fill the mold with the crab mixture and smooth over the top.
- Bring water to the boil in the bottom of a steamer. Place the ring mold on a steamer rack and place the rack over the boiling water. Cover closely and steam 10 minutes or until the internal temperature registers 160 degrees. Let the mousse stand on a rack for five minutes.
- Unmold the mousse onto a round serving dish. Pour off or wipe away any liquid that accumulates around the mousse.
- Slice the mousse into individual serving portions and serve with a little white butter sauce spooned over each portion.
