Cooking and Serving Tips
Make it easy on yourself by buying crab meat that has already been shelled. It should be near the seafood counter at the grocery store. If you can’t find whole wheat bread crumbs, make your own! Toast a slice of whole wheat bread until crispy, then blend in the food processor until large crumbs form. Try these cakes over a green salad for lunch or share them with friends as a delicious summer appetizer.
