CRAB CAKES

The verdict in the test kitchen was unanimous: When we order crab cakes in restaurants, these meaty beauties are what we want-not the bready hockey pucks that dot many menus around the country. Pair them with a simple salad or some fries for a Chesapeake-inspired two-person dinner done right.

I love to make copy cats from restaurants so I can have them whenever I want. These are very good as posted but for a change you might like to add chopped green onion and/or red bell pepper. I serve these with my Roasted Garlic Aioli recipe.

2/3 cup mayonnaise
5 egg yolks
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon blackening seasoning

Tips:

  • Choose the right crab meat. Fresh or frozen crab meat can be used, but fresh is always best. Look for crab meat that is firm and has a sweet, briny smell.
  • Don't overmix the crab cakes. Overmixing will make the crab cakes tough. Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined.
  • Use a light touch when forming the crab cakes. Crab cakes are delicate, so don't press them too hard when forming them. This will help them stay together and prevent them from falling apart.
  • Cook the crab cakes over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Serve the crab cakes immediately. Crab cakes are best served hot out of the pan. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce or remoulade.

Conclusion:

Smoky Joe's crab cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. They are perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight meal. With a few simple tips, you can make crab cakes that are sure to impress your friends and family.
