Directions
cheesecake Factory Crab Cakes, Be careful not to stir the crab too much into the other ingredients Best to fold the mixture gently with a spatula to combine everything You want the big chunks of tasty crab to stay together as big chunks of tasty crab Freshly cooked blue crab is the best choice for this recipe; however a good quality canned crab is an acceptable substitute , I had great hopes for these, but maybe I’m just not the right person to eat crab cakes This is not intended to reflect on the restaurant named here, as I have never been to it There is quite a lot of crab in these, and the crab used was excellent I don’t know why I can’t taste it, but it is quite disappointing The first two I fried lost their shape some, but I was able to fry the others all right I have had crab cakes before, and was unimpressed by them, but I thought there must not have been much crab inside I could have been wrong Thank you for an educational experience , It’s a crab flavored BREADBALL For a POUND of crab, not a half-pound use one rounded to heaping tablespoon of all-purpose flour and an equal amount of mayo plus 1 egg Make a batter and use just e-nuff to keep the meat together in a ball (not cake) The rest is OK if you like all that stuff; my cakes use a little more mustard, a mix of yellow and Dijon and nothing else No Old Bay Secret: Old Bay is mostly celery salt and very bitter The crab spice most people know as Old Bay is actually made by JO Spice Company and is called JO Crab Spice #2
