Tips:

  • Choose the right crab meat. Fresh, lump crab meat is the best choice for crab cakes, as it has a delicate flavor and texture. Avoid using canned or frozen crab meat, as it can be mushy and lack flavor.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the crab cakes. Overmixing can toughen the crab cakes, so be gentle when combining the ingredients.
  • Don't overcook the crab cakes. Crab cakes are best when cooked until they are golden brown on the outside and heated through in the center. Overcooking will make the crab cakes dry and tough.
  • Serve the crab cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular choices include tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, and lemon butter.

Conclusion:

New England crab cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or sandwich. With just a few simple tips, you can make perfect crab cakes at home that will impress your friends and family.
