Crab cakes

[Thomas Merton]

Any recipes? They vary wildly on-line in terms of ingredients

I know you gotta have bread crumbs, Old Bay, Mayo, little chopped pepper and celery

Always get me a hankering for crabs around Labor day. All you can eat and by the bushel have become too expensive

I would think that the mayo is for the roulade that you dip the crab cakes in. Equal parks Mayo, sour cream and your favorite, not-french's-yellow mustard with a little lemon juice. I can't help you with the actual cake part.

Or "Equal parts". But in this modern age where we've left segregation behind us as an antiquated social policy, I feel that people of all races and creeds should enjoy crab cakes with the condiment of their choice.

Bushel of number 1's, ten minutes from the house, $80. Advantage - me.



Anywho, with the crab cakes the key is simplicity. Meat, old bay to taste, just enough mayo to bind (some use egg), roll in panko and pan fry. Nicey nice.

The more stuff that gets thrown just muddles up the crab taste, if you ask me. And you did. So there.

A little mayo in the cake works for bindig and moisture. The mark of a good cake is the minimum amount of bread crumbs to bind the things, and a maximum of crabby bits, a delicate balance. Red bell pepper meshes with crab brilliantly.
