JERSEY SHORE CRAB CAKES
My grandmother made these from a recipe given to her by my great-great aunt. My father would go crabbing in the bay and his mom would have a steaming pot ready upon his return to cook the crab. My 5 brothers wives and children grew up on this recipe. Since Crab is expensive I have adapted to make it cost effective. Enjoy

[email protected]Overall, these crab cakes were pretty good. They were easy to make, and the flavor was decent. I would probably make them again, but I would make a few changes to the recipe.

[email protected]I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could use more Old Bay seasoning or some other kind of spice.

[email protected]These crab cakes were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more mayonnaise or butter next time. The flavor was good, though.

[email protected]I've been making this recipe for years, and it never disappoints. The crab cakes are always crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I love serving them with a tartar sauce made with fresh dill.

[email protected]These crab cakes were easy to make and turned out great! I used fresh crab meat, and the cakes were so flavorful. I served them with a lemon-butter sauce, and they were a hit with my family.

[email protected]I'm not usually a fan of crab cakes, but these were surprisingly delicious. The crab meat was fresh and flaky, and the Old Bay seasoning gave them a nice kick. I'll definitely be making these again.

[email protected]I've tried many crab cake recipes over the years, but this one is by far my favorite. The crab cakes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a perfect balance of crab meat and bread crumbs. I highly recommend this recipe!

[email protected]These crab cakes were a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of crab, shrimp, and scallops made them incredibly flavorful, and the Old Bay seasoning added just the right amount of spice. I'll definitely be making these again.
