A Crab Cake Recipe, Not!

In your quest to make the best and tasty crab cakes, you will come across many recipes. I am here to tell you that if you are have never had crab cakes before, certain recipes will not make a good impression on you.

I was browsing the internet this morning, looking at what others have to offer in the way of crab cake recipes. Always looking to add to my collection of recipes. Well, I came across one recipe that said "quick and easy xxxx" Well, I am here you to tell you that crab cakes are delicacy in some circles. In the South, some of the more fancier restaurants serve crab cakes as gourmet appetizer or meal. So how can a "good" crab cake recipe be quick and easy. Let's take a look at this particular recipe.

2 Eggs
1 tsp Lemon juice
2 cups Bread crumbs
2 cans(6oz) crabmeat,drained and flake
2 tbsp butter/margarine

Now, I understand that everyone's taste buds are different. So things that I like, others have no taste for in fact. This is because we are all different. But, let's take a look at this recipe. If you compare this recipe to some of the recipes that i have posted here, you will see a HUGE difference. In many of my recipes, I use a pound(16oz)of crabmeat. In this example, the recipe calls for 75 percent of my recipes and TWICE as much bread crumbs. Bread crumbs are used in a recipe to hold the crabmeat together. This recipe is nothing more than crab meatloaf. How in the world is a person suppose to learn the joys of crab cakes if recipes like this exist. Do yourself a favor, and run from recipes like such. The content of crabmeat to bread crumbs should be along the like of 1:1 or for every pound of crabmeat, a cup of bread crumbs.
Finally, the recipe show is tasteless. It has no seasonings or spices whatsoever. Take the time to look over the various recipes before you copy them, watch out for some of these corporate food recipes that offer no real taste or lend little to the "crab cake experience".
