Tips:

  • Don't overmix the crab cake mixture. Overmixing can make the crab cakes tough.
  • Gently fold the crab meat into the mixture. This will help keep the crab cakes delicate and flaky.
  • Use a large spoon or ice cream scoop to form the crab cakes. This will help ensure that the crab cakes are uniform in size and shape.
  • Pan-fry the crab cakes over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly without burning.
