Do you LOVE crab cakes but HATE the price ?? At around $10 for frozen seafood plus a few bits & pieces, you can serve up 6 fat cakes that are better than a lot of cakes that I have paid big bucks for in restaurants. A healthy one & a half pound combination of fish, shrimp & crab that you will taste all the way through these gems.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 cakes, 3-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb chunky white fish (not flaky)
4 ounces peeled raw shrimp
4 ounces crabmeat (1 Dungeness crab cluster well picked)
1 onion, finely diced
1 garlic clove, finely diced
2 green onions, finely diced
24 Ritz crackers or 24 jatz crackers, crushed into chunks
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 egg
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon dill
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
5 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Make the crab cakes in advance so they have time to firm up in the refrigerator before you cook them.
  • Saute onion & garlic then remove to cool.
  • If fish was frozen, squeeze "gently" to remove excess water.
  • If crab is cooked, rinse gently under cold water to remove excess salt then drain & dry.
  • Dice fish & shrimp into peanut size chunks.
  • Combine all ingredients & mix gently just until well blended.
  • Shape the mixture into 6 fat crab cakes & shape into discs.
  • Put them on a plate and stick them in the refrigerator, uncovered to chill & dry for 30 to 60 minutes.
  • To serve, heat 3 tablespoons each of butter & olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
  • Put the crab cakes with the top (dry) side down and cook for about 15 minutes, gently flip over & cook for another 15 minutes so each side is nice and crisp. Internal temp should hit 145F (62C).

These seafood cakes were a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra Old Bay seasoning and they were much better. I also think they would be better with a dipping sauce.

These seafood cakes were delicious! I used a combination of shrimp, crab, and scallops and they were so flavorful. The panko breadcrumbs gave them a nice crispy crust. I will definitely be making these again.

I've made these seafood cakes several times and they are always a crowd-pleaser. They are so flavorful and moist. I love that they can be made ahead of time and then reheated when you're ready to serve.
