I'm probably barking up the wrong tree here, but does anyone have a great crab cake recipe? I made some a few weeks ago and I still have a pound of crab meat leftover in the freezer that I need to use. The ones I made were ok, but not wow.
Woof.
I actually just looked at some a couple hours ago but I decided against it because I had never bought any there before and I had concerns they would be mostly filler.
I don't have a recipe. Surprise! I've only ever watched it done and all I recall is Old Bay, eggs and bread crumbs.
Yeah most recipes just have a few basic ingredients as you want mostly crab and not a lot of filler, but for some reason mine don't come out as good as the ones I get at my favorite restaurant for crab cakes. But I guess that's why they have a restaurant, for food that you can't get anywhere else.
Now I'm thinking about the seafood restaurant I go to. It's very basic, there are picnic tables on a porch and they lay sheets of paper across them and dump the crabs in the middle. I only like the claws and the little metal pails filled clams. I don't like hush puppies but I do like the little balls filled with broccoli & cheese, corn & cheese. Melted cheese, mmmm. I'm so hungry. What's for dinner? I'd like some clams, steamed clams.
I'm not a fan of hush puppies either. It's just a ball of deep fried cornmeal, it's not disgusting or anything but I could live without it. I like conch fritters and clam fritters and corn fritters and any balls filled with cheese though.
Try a little paprika but only good stuff, check for worms before using. Maybe some fresh scallions and cut cabbage like an egg roll.
I knew I could count on you for great advice.
I sometimes amaze even myself, It may be hereditary because all us maggots tend to be amazing.
My better half found her recipie her friend gave her for crab cakes.
I don't like crab, so I'm out, but all crab lovers we know love these cakes.
2 scallions, finely chopped
1⁄4 cup mayonnaise
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice plus wedges for garnish
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 1⁄2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning
1⁄2 jalapeño, finely chopped (remove seeds)
1 pound lump crabmeat, picked over
1-3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon thinly sliced chives
1⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt
1⁄8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 head lettuce
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Preparation
Whisk first 7 ingredients in a medium bowl. Add crab; fold to blend. Stir in 3⁄4 cup panko, chives, salt, and pepper. Divide into 6 equal portions. Form each into 1"-thick patties. Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes. Line a platter with lettuce leaves.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place remaining 1⁄2 cup panko on a plate. Coat cakes with panko. Fry until golden brown and crisp, around 3-4 minutes per side.
I'm going to try it today, I like that there's a jalapeno in there and I haven't tried using panko before. Thank you.
Good one Cars. Most of the recipes I have found have too much liquid in them and it makes them not stick together, got to try this one
I googled bread crumbs vs planko. I'm buying some planko.
Aww fuckity fuck. PlankoPlankoPlanko. I'll look for it next to the clrumbs.

I only added that to mock yours. 
...and I quoted the apology to prove hell froze over.
I'm putting the crab cakes off until tomorrow. It's too late. I ordered take out from the German place instead and the lady barely speaks any English, I swear I was on the phone with her for a half hour. It probably would have been faster just to make the damn crab cakes.
"You want the Matterhorn Schnitzel"
"No I want the Milano schnitzel"
"You mean you want thee Matterhorn schnitzel"
"No I mean the Me-la-no schnitzel"
"Ok so one Matterhorn schnitzel"
"yeah, great."
I guess I'm getting the Matterhorn schnitzel.
What the heck is Matterhorn schnitzel?
They have like 20 different schnitzels there. I think the matterhorn is the one topped with cheese, caramelized onions and a fried egg.
I may try Cars crabby cakes soon.
