Directions
Etta’s Crab Cakes (Tom Douglas), Living in Seattle, and having eaten these at Etta’s, I can attest that Etta’s Crab Cakes are superb They are included in I Love Crab Cakes: 50 Recipes for an American Classic by Tom Douglas with Shelley Lance and have been rereleased (so to speak) on numerous other websites One hour of the estimated preparation time is chilling time Timing is based on buying (admittedly pricey)Dungeness crab meat If buying cooked crabs and planning to extract crab meat yourself, add at least an hour , There is something wrong with this recipe The flavor is off and the cakes completely fall apart when cooking Like other reviewers I had to add bread crumbs to the mixture before frying to prevent them from falling apart as my first batch was ruined I’ve had much better crab cakes than these from recipes that were less work , This recipe made two hours of picking crabs (blue crabs from the Connecticut River) completely worth every minute, Heavenly bites!!! In reading through the recipe I was surprised to see that no breadcrumbs are mixed in with the crab before forming the crabcakes I compared this recipe with another Tom Douglas recipe where he mixes in 1 cup of the crumb mixture Possibly a typo? In any case, folding in one cup of the crumb mixture meant the cakes hold together, no problem Our new favorite recipe for crabcakes
