We had crab cakes for the very first time this summer. They were delicious! But, ever since then, I have been trying to make them at home. And every try has been met by failure.
While I can mix up the ingredients and form the crab into patties, they always fall apart in the pan while they are cooking. Then, we end up eating crab hash.
Maybe I’ll start practicing with salmon patties. At least they are cheaper.
Have you tried some egg white to help them stick together? It’s just a thought. I haven’t tried it on crab cakes but have used it in salmon loaf.
I put a whole egg in the mix as that is what the Old Bay recipe called for but it still seemed on the dry side. Maybe I’ll try my salmon croquette recipe and use crab instead.
