Drain and set aside in medium bowl. Peel oranges. Section oranges into same bowl, then squeeze in juice from membranes. Set aside. Trim fennel, reserving tops. Remove tough outer layers of fennel bulb. Cut fennel bulb in thin slices. Add to orange mixture. Chop 1 teaspoon feathery fennel tops and add to salad. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate. Courchamps Sauce: In blender, combine flaked crab, lemon juice, anisette, chopped parsley, tarragon, soy sauce, and mustard. Blend until pureed.
