Rinse the dill and chives, spin them dry, and mince them both. Peel the shallot and mince it. Bring the white wine to a boil; let the alcohol cook off. Add softened butter a bit at a time while whisking briskly. Remove from heat; continue whisking and add the dill, chives, and shallots. Season with salt and pepper.

Crab Salad:
50 g washed crab meat
1 tbsp mayonnaise
