Peanut oil, nice and hot, gives the crab cakes a nice clean-tasting fry. A squeeze of lemon is all they need after that!

CRAB SAVANNAH

A good friend of mine once said that there was nothing like food in Georgia. Boy was he right! This dish was served to me at a very informal "formal" dinner party. The informality was that we all just sat around and ate and talked. The formality was this dish and believe me, it is something I would never hesitate to serve to anyone. I was very glad he wasn't stingy with the recipe because I think I could eat this at least once a week!
