Crab Cake Question

[Jiraiya]

I'm going to be honest, I just ate the best crab cakes I've ever had. The sauce I made was the perfect accompaniment. And I want to make them again. I always use body meat to make crab cakes, but I'm inviting a friend over on Monday and I only want to cook one crab to make the crab cakes. The question is would using the leg meat with the body meat make the crab cakes "funky"?

no

leg meat is fine. Break off the legs, then use a rolling pin to pop the meat right out. Roll from the "toe" to the hip end.

heres a bitchen crab/fish cake recipe:

1 pound lump crab and or pre cooked fish of choice
1 egg beaten
as much old bay as you like
and bread crumbs, just a little to help it hold together if the egg doesnt.

fold to keep as lumpy as possible.


mold and broil till golden brown and delicious.

That is a great basic recipe!
since we are all chiming in....
Mayonaise is a great binder as well.
Wild mexican shrimp,makes fantastic cakes(peel and devein,rough chop raw shrimp).
another tip,no matter what type of seafood you use;
Make your cakes,and put into the fridge for 1 hour prior to cooking.

Personally,i like my cakes with 10- 20% added veggies....saute some diced onion/celery/colored sweet peppers....cool down,and add to CC mixture.
There are No rules when it comes to 'cake' recipes.
