Crab Cakes image

These are the best crab cakes I've ever eaten. I got the recipe from Cuisine magazine. Every time I make them I hear alot of oohs and ahhs and requests for the recipe. There's a local family-owned restaurant in town known for their crabcakes. My teenage niece said they were the only crabcakes she likes, until she tried these. These are even better.

3 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup red pepper, diced
1/3 cup celery, diced
1/3 cup yellow onion, diced
1/2 cup dried breadcrumbs

  • Combine sauteed vegetables with mixture.
  • Pick through crabmeat for shells or cartlidge.
  • Using your fingers, gently blend the crab into the mixture.
  • This helps preserve the large pieces of crab.
  • Shape crab mixture into cakes.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  • I've made the the day before and left in frig overnight.
  • Broil cakes for 3-4 minute.

  • Turn them over carefully.
  • I use a spatula and my fingers so they don't fall apart.

  • I serve cocktail sauce and tartar sauce with them.
  • I've also made the cakes much smaller and served them as appetizers.

I've made crab cakes before, but this recipe is by far the best. The crab cakes were perfectly crispy and golden brown.

The crab cakes were a bit dry, but I think that was because I didn't use enough mayonnaise. I'll add more mayonnaise next time.

These crab cakes were a little too salty for my taste, but I think that was because I used store-bought Old Bay seasoning. Next time I'll make my own seasoning blend.

The flavor of these crab cakes was amazing! I loved the combination of crab, Old Bay seasoning, and panko bread crumbs. Will definitely be making these again.

My first time cooking crab cakes and this recipe turned out to be perfect! The crab cakes had a nice crispy exterior and were tender and juicy on the inside. I served them with a homemade tartar sauce and they were a hit with my family.
