A lot of times I'll order crab cakes at restaurants just to be disappointed by how little crab meat there actually is in relationship to the filler. What if I told you that I had a crab cake recipe with 95% crab meat? Well then, I just made your day because I do have that recipe. This is a perfect recipe to use during Lent for Fish Friday or during the Summer.
**IMPORTANT: Make sure the canned crab or container of crab is local and is not from a country that isn't know for crab. If you see Thailand, don't buy it. The crab needs to be high quality or the cakes will be ruined!!
