Tips:

  • Choose high-quality crab meat. Fresh or frozen crab meat works best. Avoid using canned crab meat, as it is often mushy and lacks flavor.
  • Use a light touch when mixing the crab cakes. Overmixing will make the crab cakes tough.
  • Be careful not to overcook the crab cakes. They should be cooked through but still moist and tender.
  • Serve the crab cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include tartar sauce, remoulade, and cocktail sauce.
