Hi MM,i love crabs and I think I would survive eating them the whole week, he he. But I don’t think I have the patience to do the crab cakes, I’ll just buy if I’m lucky to find one…Yummy post…

There is crab meat for sale in Divisoria Mall Market. I just forgot the price, but it seemed very reasonable at the time. I just couldn’t buy some since my hands were already full of some other stuff I bought first. You can buy them all white meat, or with the claw meat. The all white meat was more expensive, I recall.

I could have them anytime of the day! Great in sandwich too with all the work.

I love crab cakes.Fortunately here, where we live I can buy pure crab meat in small tubs and their corals (brown meat )as they call it here from fish mongers. I make mine similar to your recipe but I add some chopped pecan nuts to add texture to the dish.

Time to get some crab! I’m usually too lazy to pick the crab meat too, but fortunately there is high quality crab meat available in the area (New Jersey, east coast of the US).

I shy away from the mayo, making crab cakes with beaten eggs (3-4 to a pound of picked over crab), butter sauted sweet onion, a cup of crumbs (bread crumbs, or the crumbs left at the bottom of a potato chip or corn chip bag … use chips inside & also to coat the outside for a different flavor & texture) and seasoned with Old Bay seasoning (one of the few commercial spice mixes I use). Add cream for the proper consistency.

Old Bay has spices that include: salt, celery seed, mustard, red pepper, black pepper, bay leaves, cloves, allspice, ginger, mace, cinnamon, and paprika.

Wow! THis is good. My Mom is always trying to think of ways to cook crab meat. We always have an over-abundance of pre-shelled (and pre-packed) crab meat from Higantes (an island in Iloilo) that my Dad brings home, and which we also sell to our neighbors (by special request). Usually, she makes the rellenong crab, egg foo yung, and my sister also has this super yummy crab bisque dish. Superb!!! Will try this recipe. Thanks MM!

I have always wanted to make crab cakes but I have no one to pick the crab meat for me. =) So i just end up eating the crab with rice and 2 kinds of “sawsawan” depending on the mood. Kalamansi-butter if feeling western, suka and bagoong alamang if provincial. But the crab cakes do look and sound yummy!

P.S. My belated sympathies on your hard drive, MM. I just got wireless internet connection today. PLDT DSL has been the pits for the past 2 months.
