CARIBBEAN CRAB CAKES
This is my take on Maryland style crab cakes, with a light (not heavy) breading and a flavor you will love. Despite the name, these are NOT spicy or "jerk," but rather full of flavor with a crispy outside and delicate inside. Feeling crabby? :-)

Steps:
- In a small pan on medium high heat, melt 1 Tbsp of the butter and add the chopped onion and 1 tsp of the Garlic Salt. Cook until the onions become translucent. Set aside and allow to cool.
- In a large bowl, mix together the crab meat, green onion, 1/3 Cup White Cheddar crackers, mayonnaise, remaining garlic salt, pepper, soy sauce, dijon mustard, pickle juice, lime juice, cilantro and egg and form into small patties (about the size of the palm of your hand).
- Mix together the flour and remaining 1 cup of white cheddar crackers and pour onto a large dish or plate. Lightly pat the crab cakes in the mixture on each side and place onto a baking sheet (covered with a piece of parchment or wax paper).
- Refrigerate the cakes for 1 hour.
- Into a large skillet on medium heat, pour the canola oil and remaining butter.
- After the butter melts and the oil is hot, place the crab cakes into the oil and allow to cook (about 5 minutes each side) or until golden brown. Serve.

CARIBBEAN GRILLED CRAB CAKES
Absolutely delicious! I have made these in a skillet as well and they taste just as delicious as on the grill. I prefer to use fresh crabmeat, but you can use whatever is on hand.

Tips:
- Choose fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat will have a sweet, briny flavor and be free of any off odors. You can find fresh crab meat at your local fish market or seafood counter.
- Use a variety of crab meat. For the best flavor, use a combination of different types of crab meat, such as blue crab, Dungeness crab, and snow crab.
- Don't overmix the crab cakes. Overmixing will make the crab cakes tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
- Cook the crab cakes over medium heat. Cooking the crab cakes over medium heat will help them to cook evenly without burning.
- Serve the crab cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. Crab cakes are traditionally served with tartar sauce, but you can also serve them with other dipping sauces, such as remoulade sauce or cocktail sauce.
Conclusion:
Crab cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or sandwich. With a few simple tips, you can make crab cakes that are sure to impress your family and friends.
