Crab Cake Recipe

The crab cake recipe that follows is nutritious, low calorie, and can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. Besides being easy to prepared, low fat, and nutritious, crab cake like most seafood is very exotic.

For this recipe you can use fresh or canned crab meat. For the best tasting crab cakes ever, I recommend you use fresh crab. However if fresh crabs are not available you can use canned crab. To be honest unless they are seafood connoisseur's most people can't tell the difference.

My advice to you is go to your local grocery stores seafood department and buy yourself some crab meat - don't fool with the imitation stuff. Then head to your kitchen and fix yourself some delicious crab cakes.
