Tips:

  • Choose fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the crab cakes will taste. Look for lump crab meat that is firm and white, and fresh cranberries that are plump and red.
  • Don't overmix the crab cakes. Overmixing will make the crab cakes tough. Gently fold the ingredients together until they are just combined.
  • Cook the crab cakes over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning on the outside while remaining raw on the inside.
  • Serve the crab cakes immediately. Crab cakes are best when served hot, so don't let them sit around for too long before eating.
